Listen "IT Planning for 2026: Managed IT or Co-Managed IT?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Shift Change: The Idaho Manufacturing Podcast, I dive into the critical topic of IT planning for 2026, exploring the differences between fully managed IT and co-managed IT. As manufacturing operations evolve, understanding when to transition from a reactive IT model—often characterized by "Chuck in the Truck" support—to a more proactive approach is essential for growth. I discuss the strategic advantages of outsourcing versus supplementing your internal IT staff with managed services, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity, compliance, and operational efficiency. With insights tailored for Idaho's manufacturing sector, I aim to help executives make informed decisions about their IT investments to drive future competitiveness. Join me for this essential conversation on navigating the complexities of modern technology support.
