Will you replace our IT person?

No. Co-managed IT is designed to extend and support your existing team. We handle overflow, specialized work, and after-hours coverage while your IT person remains the primary owner of the environment.

How do you avoid stepping on each other's toes?

Clear RACI charts, shared ticketing, defined escalation paths, and monthly planning meetings. We agree on who owns what before anything breaks, and we communicate in real time during incidents.

What if our IT person leaves?

We maintain full documentation of your environment, so a new hire isn't starting from zero. We can also provide interim primary coverage during the search, then transition back to co-managed when the role is filled.

Do you work with our existing vendors?

Absolutely. We coordinate with your EHR vendor, ISP, phone provider, and equipment vendors — either alongside your IT person or on their behalf. No vendor lock-in, no exclusive relationships.

Monthly fee based on the scope of co-managed services: after-hours coverage, project hours, compliance support, and security monitoring. We scope it to your IT person's gaps, not their job.

Co-Managed IT — Tempe Healthcare

Co-Managed IT for Healthcare Practices in Tempe, Arizona

Some Tempe healthcare practices have an IT manager, a sysadmin, or a tech-savvy office manager who keeps the network running — until they're overwhelmed by a HIPAA audit, a ransomware scare, an EHR upgrade, or the realization that one person can't cover evening behavioral-health intakes, weekend urgent-care shifts, and vacations. Co-managed IT is the bridge: your in-house person stays in control, and we provide the depth, specialties, and coverage they don't have time to build.

We work alongside Tempe healthcare IT staff every day: handling the Security Risk Analysis and remediation plan they don't have bandwidth to write, monitoring EDR and firewall alerts overnight, providing EHR-specific expertise for Epic, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, Valant, WebPT, or Dentrix, and stepping in when they're out of office. No turf wars, no condescension — just a senior team that makes your IT person look good.

Why It Matters

Why Co-Managed IT Matters for Healthcare in Tempe

One IT person can't cover 24/7 clinical operations

Your Tempe IT manager does great work from 8 to 5. But ransomware doesn't wait for business hours, and a 7 p.m. EHR outage during evening therapy intakes costs more than their entire month's salary. Co-managed IT extends coverage without replacing them.

HIPAA, Part 2, and cybersecurity require specialized skills

Writing a Security Risk Analysis, configuring EDR, interpreting threat intelligence, layering 42 CFR Part 2 controls, and managing cyber-insurance attestation are specialist skills. Your generalist shouldn't have to become a security engineer on nights and weekends.

EHR expertise is hard to hire locally

Finding a Tempe IT person who knows Epic, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, Valant, WebPT, and Dentrix — and network engineering, and HIPAA — is nearly impossible. Co-managed IT gives you that expertise on demand without the headcount.

Vacations, sick days, and turnover create risk

When your single IT person is out, there's no backup plan. We provide continuity — someone who knows your environment, your EHR, and your vendors — so coverage gaps don't become outages.

What's Included

Co-Managed IT Scope for Tempe Healthcare

After-hours and weekend coverage

Our SOC and helpdesk monitor and respond nights, weekends, and holidays. Your in-house person gets alerts they want; we handle everything else. They sleep; we watch.

HIPAA Security Risk Analysis & compliance support

We write the SRA, risk management plan, and remediation roadmap — plus 42 CFR Part 2 control overlays for behavioral-health groups. Your IT person reviews and owns it; we do the heavy lifting and documentation.

EHR and practice-management escalation support

When your IT person hits a Valant integration issue, a WebPT API change, or an athenahealth Citrix problem they haven't seen before, our healthcare-specialist engineers join the ticket and solve it together.

Cybersecurity tooling & monitoring

We deploy, tune, and monitor EDR, SIEM, firewall, and DLP. Your IT person gets the dashboard and the alerts; we handle tier-2 and tier-3 response, forensics, and vendor escalation.

Project execution & vendor management

EHR upgrades, server replacements, network overhauls, and cloud migrations — we plan and execute with your IT person's input, so they stay in the loop without doing all the work.

On-call backup for your IT person

When your IT person is on vacation or out sick, we become the primary responder. Same knowledge of your environment, same vendor relationships, same escalation paths.

Monthly strategic planning sessions

A structured 60-minute session with your IT person and our account lead: review metrics, plan projects, align on priorities, and build the roadmap. No surprises, no ad-hoc chaos.

Documentation & knowledge transfer

We document everything we touch — network diagrams, runbooks, vendor contacts, and configuration changes — so your IT person always has current, accurate reference material.

Local Proof

Built for the Tempe Healthcare Reality

We make your IT person the hero

Our best co-managed relationships are the ones where the in-house IT person gets promoted because their environment finally runs like enterprise IT. We stay invisible to clinical staff and visible to your IT team.

Healthcare specialization without the ego

We know EHRs, HIPAA, Part 2, and clinical workflows — but we also know when to defer to your IT person's knowledge of your specific environment. Collaboration, not condescension.

Seamless coverage during transitions

When your IT person moves on, we maintain continuity while you search for a replacement. No knowledge lost, no vendor relationships broken, no environment mysteries.
