Engineering-Led Companies Have IT Needs Engineers Don’t Want to Handle
Your engineers can build distributed systems but shouldn’t spend time provisioning M365 licenses or managing SOC 2 evidence. Co-managed IT for tech companies is a different engagement.
Engineering doesn’t want to do IT
Engineers writing product code are expensive. They shouldn’t spend time on Office 365 license management, MDM rollouts, or compliance evidence.
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 prep
Enterprise customers demand SOC 2 (or ISO 27001) before signing contracts. Audit prep is a multi-month effort that distracts from product work.
Cloud cost sprawl
AWS, GCP, Azure, plus dozens of SaaS subscriptions — cloud and SaaS spending grows fast and rarely gets optimized without dedicated attention.
Hiring SRE / DevOps talent is hard
Senior SRE/DevOps in Chicago is expensive and competitive. Co-managed IT augments your in-house team without the full hire cost.
M365 / SaaS integration
Identity, SSO, MFA across M365, GitHub, Slack, AWS, dozens of other tools — identity management at modern tech-company scale is its own discipline.
Customer data security
B2B SaaS companies hold customer data. Customer security questionnaires, vendor risk reviews, and contractual security commitments are an ongoing operational burden.
Co-Managed IT for Engineering-Led Companies
Six core capabilities — designed to take operational IT off your engineering team’s plate while preserving the engineer-friendly tools and workflows they’ve built.
Co-Managed IT Model

Learn more →One Hire vs. an Entire Bench.
Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.
