Fully managed IT
A fully managed model gives one provider defined operational responsibility for agreed technology services. It can work well where the business wants predictable ownership, broader technical coverage and reduced dependency on individual internal staff. Scope, service levels, escalation and governance need to be explicit.
Co-managed IT
Co-managed arrangements keep an internal IT function while adding capacity, specialist skills, tooling or escalation. The model works best when responsibilities are divided by service or activity rather than leaving ambiguous shared ownership.
Project and retained specialist models
Some organisations only need help for architecture, migration, security or complex escalation. A retained specialist or project model can complement existing operations without replacing them. AL Group supports all three patterns and can change the model as the internal team evolves.
AL Group can assess, design, implement and operate the underlying technology rather than stopping at advice.
