Partner First: Why Co-Managed IT Services Are the Future for CIOs | Future Ready with Bechtle
You thought managed services were just about logging tickets and fixing issues? Not anymore.
In this episode of Future Ready with Bechtle, host Stephen Harley is joined by Connor Slasberg, Head of Service Pre-Sales at Bechtle UK, to explore how co-managed and managed services are evolving into strategic partnerships that transform organisations.
They discuss why partnership beats traditional supplier relationships, how to protect and empower internal IT teams, and what to look for in a managed service provider that can flex with your business as technology and expectations change.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why managed services must be built on genuine partnership, not just SLAs
- How co-managed IT can complement internal IT teams
- Real-world transformation: upgrading ageing infrastructure and mindset during Covid
- Using managed services to plug skill gaps, handle peaks and support growth
- Handling Microsoft CSP renewals and right-sizing Azure spend with the right partner
- The role of virtual CIO/IT leadership and senior advisory in a managed service
- Why certifications and vendor relationships matter, and why trust matters more
- How transparency, data and clear language enable better business decisions for non-technical leaders
Whether you’re a CIO, IT Director or business leader, this conversation will help you rethink how you structure IT, where co-managed services fit, and how the right partner can keep your organisation secure, efficient and future ready.
