Your IT Team, Amplified
You’re not failing at your job. You’re one person — or a small team — being asked to do the work of four. Security operations, compliance documentation, after-hours coverage, patch management, and the specialized projects that keep getting pushed to next quarter. Lewis IT steps in alongside you, handles what you don’t have bandwidth for, and stays out of what you do.
We Fill the Gaps, You Keep Control

What Does It Cost?
Co-managed pricing is based on which services you need and how many users and devices are in scope. Typical engagements for Southern Maryland businesses range from $800 to $3,500 per month — a fraction of what it would cost to hire the specialized headcount to cover the same gaps.
Common Questions
Will you try to replace our IT staff?
No. Co-managed IT is designed to augment your team, not replace them. Your staff keeps control of day-to-day operations. We handle the specialized work they don’t have time or tools for.
How does billing work?
You pay for the services in scope — no bundled packages you don’t need, no long-term contracts after onboarding. Scale up or down as your needs change. Typical engagements range from $800 to $3,500 per month depending on scope.
Can our team see what you’re doing?
Full transparency. Shared dashboards, shared ticketing, shared documentation. Your team sees everything we do and we see everything they do. One unified view.
What if we want to move to fully managed later?
Easy transition. Since we’re already in your environment with shared documentation, moving to fully managed IT is seamless — no re-onboarding, no gaps.
