One internal hire covers a remarkable amount — until they're on holiday, or a server dies mid-project, or something breaks at 2am, or the company suddenly needs security expertise nobody was hired for. Co-managed IT means they keep the relationship and the context, and we take the parts that don't fit inside one person's week.

Overnight monitoring and out-of-hours response aren't a staffing problem you can solve by hiring harder. Somebody has to sleep.
Being excellent at keeping a company running day to day is not the same skill as threat detection, incident response and compliance. Very few people are genuinely both.
A migration, an office move or a security rollout consumes weeks — and while it does, everything routine quietly stops happening.
Good IT people want someone to sanity-check an architecture decision before it's live. Working alone, there is no second opinion.
The setup one person built and maintains by hand stops scaling well before the headcount does.
It's the first thing anyone thinks when management brings in an MSP. So we say it early and directly: co-managed exists because you want to keep them. Most internal IT people end up glad of the backup — it's the on-call phone they get to stop carrying alone.
Before anything starts, we agree in writing which side handles what, and how escalation runs. Ambiguity is what makes co-managed arrangements fail.
Then co-managed isn't your model — fully managed IT is.
