Co-Managed IT Services
Higher Education institutions operate in complex environments with unique infrastructure demands, regulatory requirements, and seasonal pressures. Internal IT teams often face a mountain of responsibilities—from managing SIS and LMS platforms to preparing for NIST 800-171 or CMMC audits—yet they rarely have the time, tools, or staff to stay ahead.
NewPush offers a co-managed IT model that provides exactly the support you need, when you need it. Our services are flexible, scalable, and aligned with the systems, culture, and mission of Higher Ed IT departments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Co-Managed IT Services
What are co-managed IT services?
Co-managed IT is a collaborative approach where your internal IT team works alongside an external provider like NewPush to share responsibility for IT operations. It allows institutions to retain control while gaining access to additional expertise, tools, and capacity.
How are co-managed services different from fully outsourced IT?
In a fully outsourced model, an external vendor handles all IT functions. With co-managed services, your internal staff remains in charge, and we support them by filling skill gaps, covering after-hours work, or managing specialized systems—based on your preferences and needs.
Who benefits from co-managed IT services in Higher Education?
Colleges and universities with small or overstretched IT teams, limited cybersecurity expertise, or urgent project deadlines benefit most. We also support institutions facing compliance challenges or looking to modernize their infrastructure without hiring new staff.
Can NewPush integrate with the tools we already use?
Yes. Our platform integrates with your current tools—whether you're using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, VMware, AWS, or on-prem systems. We enhance your environment without requiring costly migrations or retraining.
Do we lose control over our IT if we use co-managed services?
No. You stay in control of all strategic decisions, and we work within your governance structure. We adapt to your workflows, change management processes, and escalation paths to ensure seamless collaboration.
Can you help with compliance frameworks like FERPA or NIST 800-171?
Absolutely. Compliance is a core part of our co-managed offering. We assist with readiness assessments, documentation, control implementation, and ongoing monitoring for frameworks such as FERPA, CMMC, NIST 800-171, and SOX.
What kind of support do you provide during incidents or crises?
Our team can assist with incident triage, containment, forensic analysis, communication protocols, and recovery planning. We act as an extension of your team during high-stress moments—providing both technical execution and strategic calm.
Is your co-managed support available 24/7?
Yes. We provide around-the-clock monitoring and response. Whether you need after-hours help desk coverage, weekend patching, or overnight security monitoring, our team is always available to support your institution.
