Co-managed IT only works when it strengthens your internal team without slowing them down. Our onboarding removes the operational burden, aligns your systems with best practice and gives your department the structure, visibility and support it needs to perform at its best.
We start by learning how your organisation functions - the structure of your internal IT team, your business priorities, your compliance needs and the outcomes you expect. This gives us the insight to build a co-managed model that supports your people properly and enhances how your IT estate performs.
We review your environment end-to-end, identify the areas where your internal team needs support and map the foundations of a stronger operational model. This allows us to set up tooling, processes and governance that make your team’s day-to-day work smoother, faster and easier to manage.
We handle the transition fully - documentation, configuration, handover activities and operational setup - while keeping all systems live and your internal team focused on their own priorities. You gain extra capability without disruption, extra workload or the need to rethink your internal processes.
Once everything is stable, we build a practical IT strategy that supports your organisation’s goals and lifts the pressure from your internal team. Regular reviews and structured planning ensure your environment keeps improving and stays aligned with business needs.
You gain a partner that strengthens your department’s capability without changing how your team works. Our engineers understand your environment, act with accountability and provide consistent support that improves reliability across your entire IT estate.

A managed IT service is where an external provider acts as your internal IT team, taking full responsibility for the ongoing operation of your systems. At Ratcliff IT, this includes remote support, proactive maintenance, disaster recovery planning, security management and access to specialist expertise.
Co-managed IT means we work alongside your internal IT department, supporting your in-house team with additional capacity, specialised skills and operational coverage. As your business grows, co-managed support becomes especially valuable for cloud management, complex projects, and the routine tasks your internal team doesn’t have the time or tools to manage consistently.
Traditional IT support is typically reactive and focused on break-fix. As an MSP, Ratcliff IT manages your entire IT infrastructure, oversees daily IT operations and delivers ongoing support that improves stability and security. We complement your in-house expertise, giving business leaders confidence that every part of your IT environment is being maintained to a high standard.
Our pricing is built your needs. You receive a comprehensive managed or co-managed service that includes support, monitoring, security and all other essential elements under one predictable monthly fee.
