Managed Services Overview

Premium IT Solutions with Personalized Services

Your IT needs are different from the business next door and even your closest competitor. Outsource the services that make the most sense for your organization and retain control over those you have the staff and budget for.

We’ll come up with the right combination of managed services with a service level agreement that will meet your organization’s needs. Should those needs change in the future—and it’s highly likely they will—we’ll work with you to address your organization’s evolving requirements or strategy.

Because strong partnerships require transparency, many organizations choose our Flat Based Fee model. It provides predictable IT costs and clear expectations without surprise charges.

Collaboration

Take on the world—from the executive suite, the home office, or the carpool lane. With integrated tools for voice, messaging, email, and file sharing, you’re never more than a click or two away from quality collaboration.

Networking

Your data connectivity can only ever be as fast, reliable, and resilient as the network foundation it runs over. And it needs good bones. The hardware, software, and facilities that make up your networking architecture should be designed and configured to work along the grain of your business operations—not against them.

Cloud

Cloud-based services carry a number of business advantages with scalability being among the most coveted by today’s CIO. Operational agility is a leading driver for cloud adoption which makes sense given its innate ability to grow and retract capacity based on fluctuating demand.

Cybersecurity

There’s a reason they call them emerging threats. They sneak up on even well-secured businesses, developing new methods every day. You’ve got to beat cybercriminals to the punch by continually battening down your systems before emerging threats reach you. You can’t let a patch wait until your staff catches up on help desk calls or put off restricting privileged access until you finish the next phase of a project. It’s not worth the gamble.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is co-managed IT, and how does it work?

Co-managed IT is a partnership between your internal IT team and a Managed Services Provider (MSP). Rather than replacing your existing staff, a co-managed approach extends their capacity by sharing responsibilities such as monitoring, cybersecurity, help desk support, collaboration, infrastructure and cloud management, or strategic planning. Your team keeps oversight and control, and owns institutional knowledge, while gaining access to additional expertise and resources.

Will managed IT services replace our internal IT team?

No. In a co-managed model, managed services are designed to strengthen internal IT teams, not replace them. Many school districts, municipalities, and growing organizations use managed services to reduce operational strain, access specialized skills, and allow internal teams to focus on strategic initiatives that directly support their communities, clients, and employees, as well as organizational goals.

How do I know if my organization needs managed IT services?

Organizations often consider managed IT services when their IT teams find themselves spending more time reacting to day-to-day issues than planning for the future. Increasing cybersecurity requirements, aging infrastructure, limited staffing and resources, and growing expectations around technology experiences and support are all signs that additional capacity or expertise may be needed.

What types of organizations benefit most from co-managed IT services?

Co-managed IT services are especially valuable for school districts, municipalities, and small to mid-sized organizations that need to balance growing technology demands with limited internal resources. This approach provides flexibility, allowing organizations to supplement internal strengths while maintaining control over their technology strategy.

How much do managed IT services cost?

Managed IT service pricing varies depending on the size of your organization, the services included, and the level of support required. At Northriver IT, we offer both per user pricing and a flat-fee model with predictable monthly pricing designed to simplify budgeting and eliminate unexpected costs. The right pricing structure depends on your organization's needs, priorities, and long-term goals.

What should I look for in a Managed Services Provider?

Look for a provider that acts as a strategic partner, not just a vendor. A strong MSP should offer flexibility as your needs evolve, provide guidance on technology investments and emerging technologies, support cybersecurity and compliance requirements, ensure great customer, employee, and community experiences, and work collaboratively with your internal team. Industry experience, transparent pricing, and a clear understanding of your organization's goals are also important considerations.
