Three Ways to Work With Us

Monthly retainers scoped to your business, plus projects and installs quoted upfront. Every business is different, so reach out and we will price it for you. No surprise invoices.

Co Managed

We Back Up Your IT Person

For businesses with an IT manager or a small internal team. We take the overflow, the specialties, and the projects they do not have time for.

  • Security, compliance, and infrastructure expertise on call
  • Coverage for vacations, after hours, and peak periods
  • Clear division of responsibilities in writing
  • Senior escalation for the hard problems
How Co Managed Works
Projects & Installs

One Job, Done Right

For defined work with a start and a finish. Scoped, quoted, and delivered by the same team that runs IT every day.

  • SOC 2 and compliance programs
  • Email, identity, and cloud migrations
  • Office buildouts, moves, cameras, access control
  • AI governance and rollout programs
Scope a Project

Your Team Is Already Using AI. Is Anyone Managing It?

Most small businesses have staff using AI tools with no policy, no training, and no idea where company data is going. We put guardrails around it, then help you get real value from it.

๐Ÿ“‹

AI Usage Policy & Governance

Clear rules on what tools are allowed and what data can go into them.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Enterprise AI Administration

We set up and run your Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot business tenants, seats, and usage reporting.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Hands On Team Training

Role based sessions so staff use AI well and safely.

Managed Custom AI Tools

Purpose built AI apps for your workflows, hosted and maintained by us.

Custom Business Apps, Without the SaaS Sprawl

Most small businesses pay for six or seven separate tools that do not talk to each other. Through our partnership with AppZilla, SMK deploys purpose built apps on one platform for our clients, connect them to your data, and manage them as part of your IT. You stop paying per seat to a dozen vendors and start paying for one system that fits how you actually work.

๐Ÿงฉ

CRM, project management, ticketing, scheduling, screen recording, and social publishing on one platform.

AI Built In

Workspace AI assistants, advanced models, and custom AI agents are included in the subscription, with the AI usage covered.

Built to Order

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Managed Like Everything Else

We administer the workspace, the users, the automations, and the integrations, so it stays secure and current.
