Co Managed IT that supports your team, not replaces it
Co managed IT is a partnership model where Oxana works alongside your existing IT team rather than taking over. Your people keep the knowledge and relationships they have built. We add the specialist Microsoft skills, extra capacity and around the clock cover they cannot provide alone. You get the best of both: internal ownership and external depth.
Your IT team is capable. But one team can't do everything.
Internal IT teams are spread thin, keeping the lights on while being expected to lead AI strategy, security hardening, cloud architecture, and digital transformation. Something always slips.
Reactive by default
Too busy fighting fires to focus on what's next, AI, automation, modern infrastructure.
Skill gaps in fast-moving areas
Microsoft Copilot, Intune, Power Platform, security, new disciplines your team hasn't had time to master.
Projects stall without extra hands
ERP rollouts, cloud migrations, and compliance projects sit in the backlog because capacity runs out.
No external sounding board
Big decisions made in isolation, without a trusted advisor who's seen it across dozens of environments.
We don't replace internal IT.
We make internal IT unstoppable.
For the business
Confidence in your IT investment
Know your internal team is backed by specialists, and your technology decisions are actually aligned with where the market is going.
For the IT team
A senior partner, not a replacement
Access to Microsoft Cloud, AI, security, and ERP expertise, on demand. We work with you, not around you.
For the future
Technology that moves with you
Strategic advisory, new tech adoption, and hands-on delivery. We bridge the gap between where you are and where you need to be.
How does Oxana support internal IT teams?
Oxana supports internal IT teams in six ways: strategic advisory and new tech guidance, security and compliance uplift, project delivery, AI and automation adoption, specialist Microsoft depth on demand, and access to Microsoft partner benefits. We plug in wherever your team needs capacity or expertise.
Advisory & New Tech Guidance
Your team knows your environment. We know what's coming next. We advise on AI, Microsoft Cloud, security, and modern workplace, translating hype into decisions that actually make sense for your business.
Security & Compliance Uplift
Security is where internal teams feel the most exposed. We run alongside your team to harden endpoints, implement Zero Trust, and meet compliance requirements, without disrupting business as usual.
Project Delivery Muscle
When your team doesn't have the bandwidth or the specialist skills to deliver a major project, we step in as the delivery arm, owning outcomes while keeping your team across every decision.
AI & Automation Adoption
AI is moving fast. We help internal IT teams lead the conversation internally, building use cases, running pilots, and deploying tools that deliver real productivity gains across the business.
Specialist Depth On Demand
Access Oxana's team of Microsoft specialists when your team needs depth they don't have, from Intune engineers to Business Central consultants to Power Platform developers. No hiring, no delay.
Technology Partner Network
As a Microsoft Cloud Solutions Partner, we give your team access to partner pricing, preview programs, and direct escalation paths that most internal teams can't access on their own.
Built for three people in your organisation
The Decision Maker
Founder, CEO or COO
You've invested in internal IT and you trust your team. But you want certainty that you're not falling behind, on AI, on security, on the tools your competitors are already using.
Oxana gives you an executive-level view of your technology posture and a partner accountable for outcomes, not just support tickets.
I need to know we're not three years behind on technology without realising it.
The IT Leader
IT Manager or Head of Technology
You're across everything, helpdesk, infrastructure, projects, vendor management, security. You need a partner who works with your team, not over the top of them.
Oxana becomes your specialist bench. We deliver what you don't have capacity or depth for, and we make you look good doing it.
I need experts I can call on without having to justify another headcount request.
The IT Team Member
Sysadmin, Engineer or Analyst
You want to grow, into cloud, into AI, into modern security. But day-to-day operations don't leave room to upskill, experiment, or work on the projects that actually excite you.
Working alongside Oxana is how good IT people get great. We share knowledge, involve your team in delivery, and help you build skills in the areas that matter.
I don't want to just keep the lights on. I want to actually build something modern.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about co-managed IT and switching IT providers.
What is co-managed IT?
Co-managed IT is a model where an external IT partner like Oxana works alongside your existing internal IT team, filling skill gaps, providing specialist depth, and delivering projects your team doesn't have capacity for. You retain full control of your IT environment while gaining enterprise-grade expertise on demand.
How does Oxana support internal IT teams?
Oxana supports internal IT teams across six areas: strategic advisory and new tech guidance, security and compliance uplift, project delivery, AI and automation adoption, specialist depth on demand (Microsoft 365, Intune, Dynamics 365), and access to Microsoft partner benefits including direct escalation paths.
Does Oxana replace our internal IT team?
No. Oxana works alongside your internal IT team, not instead of them. We act as a senior partner and specialist bench, delivering what your team doesn't have time or depth for, while keeping your team across every decision.
Which businesses benefit most from co-managed IT?
Co-managed IT is ideal for mid-sized businesses in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane that already have one or more internal IT staff but need specialist support for security hardening, AI adoption, cloud migrations, ERP implementations, or Microsoft 365 and Copilot deployments.
What Microsoft services does Oxana specialise in for co-managed IT?
Oxana specialises in Microsoft 365, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Copilot, Entra ID, Defender, Purview, Power Platform, Power Automate, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Azure cloud architecture, all delivered in partnership with your internal IT team.
How is co-managed IT priced?
Co-managed IT engagements with Oxana are tailored to your team's needs. They can be structured as ongoing advisory retainers, project-based engagements, or specialist on-demand support. Contact Oxana to discuss a model that fits your team and budget.
How do I know when it's time to switch IT providers?
Common signs you need a new IT provider include slow or unresponsive support, recurring unresolved issues, a provider stuck in the past with no AI or cloud strategy, surprise bills, and no proactive recommendations. Oxana provides a structured MSP transition checklist that covers environment discovery, credential and licensing handover, security review, and a smooth cutover.
How do I exit an IT support contract?
Start by reviewing your notice period and termination clauses, then request a full handover of admin credentials, documentation, and licensing. Oxana helps Sydney and Australian businesses leave an outdated provider with a managed transition, recovering control of your tenant and DNS, auditing what your previous provider left behind, and onboarding you with zero downtime.
Can you support our internal IT team without taking over completely?
Yes. That is the defining feature of co-managed IT. Oxana works alongside your internal IT team, not instead of them. We handle the heavy lifting your team does not have capacity for, take on escalations that need specialist depth, and lead strategic projects like cloud migrations and security uplift. Your internal team keeps full ownership of the environment, the relationships, and the day to day decisions. We plug in wherever you need us and step back when you do not.
