US Based CO-Managed Services
Who helps support your support team?
In today’s business environment, three things have become absolute.
- The need for IT departments to deliver high performance with an “always on” mentality.
- Having a strategic plan that includes how IT will support the other initiatives within the business.
- Being able to justify costs now more than ever, not just with people but with resources.
Black Diamond’s co-managed IT services are a fully customizable way to give support to your internal IT staff. By strategically taking items off their plate that they don’t have the bandwidth or expertise to manage, your team can be free to focus on items that help your business grow.
With over 15 years of experience in the IT support industry, it is extremely rare that an IT department of any size could not use some outside support to keep up with all the day-to-day tasks and business projects.
In fact, constantly hearing the stress of our clients trying to keep up with their workloads is what prompted us to create Chicago-based co-managed service packages.
Is your IT team overburdened?

What does Black Diamond’s Co-Managed IT Services Mean For The Sanity Of Your Internal IT Team?

Our team can automate much of this and make sure that both your users and your overall environment are given the consistent attention needed.
C-LEVEL GUIDANCE
Most SMBs do not have the resources to hire a C-level IT strategist. Our proven fractional CIO service helps ownership plan its IT investments with long-term ROI as the top priority. Fractional CIO is the most popular addition to our co-managed services platform. This is because it offers extremely high business value at a very reasonable cost.
