Give your IT team the expertise and capacity it needs.
Keep internal knowledge close while bringing in the right external support. BlueBlocks helps scope co-managed IT and compare MSPs around the responsibilities, systems and skills your team wants to share.
More support should create clarity, not another handoff.
An internal team may need specialist escalation, project capacity or help managing particular platforms. An external provider needs to understand where it can act and where the organisation retains control. A useful co-managed arrangement defines that working relationship before two teams begin responding to the same environment.
Agree how the internal and external teams will work together.
A useful proposal connects the technical work with the result your organisation needs. Explore the parts of this service that make the difference.
01
Identify the support gap
Describe the work the internal team wants to retain and the tasks it needs help with. Include platforms, service hours and specialist skills. The brief can then distinguish ongoing support from a specific project or temporary capacity need.
02
Agree a shared operating model
Map change approval, incident handling, escalation and administrative access. Ask how the provider will work with the client's tools and records. Clear responsibilities make it easier for staff to know who is handling an issue.
03
Build a useful relationship
Define reporting, knowledge sharing and service reviews. Clarify how priorities change and how either team can raise a concern. The arrangement should strengthen the client's capability rather than make critical context inaccessible outside the provider.
A stronger starting point
Support that adds capability without losing context.
We help define useful deliverables so you can compare provider approaches and agree what successful completion means.
Confirm the outputs and acceptance criteria with your chosen provider.

Why BlueBlocks
The right expertise. A clearer decision.
We help articulate the gap and compare how providers will work with your team. Your organisation retains the decision, while the proposed relationship becomes easier to assess before a service begins.
For your organisation
Start with a clearer requirement.
Bring your challenge or an existing proposal. We help clarify the scope, identify relevant expertise and compare the approaches. You choose your provider.
If deeper discovery is needed, we help scope that assessment before you commit to implementation.
MSPs can demonstrate collaboration as well as platform capability. Explain how you share context, respect client authority and contribute specialist support without displacing the internal team's knowledge.
Show us your capabilities, delivery coverage and relevant industry experience. We work with local and international specialists around the needs of each opportunity.
You do not need a finished technical brief to connect with BlueBlocks.
Do we have to outsource all IT operations?+
No. Co-managed IT can focus on selected platforms, specialist escalation or shared responsibilities. Describe the boundary and review it with the provider so both teams understand the service.
Can we use our existing ticketing and documentation tools?+
That depends on the proposed arrangement. Include tool access and record ownership in the brief, and compare how each provider will support a shared working process.
