About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Brian Largent about co-managed IT services and their application in various industries.

Today I'm excited to bring you a really insightful conversation with Brian Largent. Brian brings nearly two decades of experience running an MSP that specializes in co-managed IT services, particularly in complex and regulated industries like healthcare and manufacturing. In this episode, Brian and I get into the nitty-gritty of co-managed IT. What it means, why it's not just for large enterprises, and how his team lives and breathes this model for clients, unexpectedly in rural markets. We dive into the real challenges and opportunities of working alongside internal IT teams, what makes for a successful partnership, and some lessons learned from both our journeys in the MSP space. Whether you're an MSP looking to branch into co-managed services or looking to improve your co-managed offering, you'll get a ton of actionable insights from this conversation. This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro . A place for MSP owners and managers to get the systems and tools they need to build a stable and growing MSP.
