Summer is here, and your team deserves a well-earned break. But what happens when your IT person heads off for that long-awaited vacation? Or when multiple team members are out enjoying their PTO at the same time? 

If you’re like most businesses, the thought of IT issues arising while key personnel are away can keep you up at night. Outages, user issues and cybersecurity threats certainly don’t take a summer break, and when key IT personnel are out of office, even small problems can quickly escalate. 

That’s where Rea’s Co-Managed IT Services step in to keep things on track and running smoothly. 

The Hidden Cost of Vacation Coverage Gaps

When your IT team is stretched thin or completely absent, your business faces real risks: system downtime that kills revenue, security vulnerabilities that multiply without 24/7 monitoring, delayed projects that create weeks of backlog, and frustrated employees forced into risky workarounds. 

It’s not about stretching your team thin or cutting into their vacations—it’s about keeping your IT operations steady while they are away. 

Enter Co-Managed IT: Your Summer Safety Net

Co-managed IT services provide the perfect solution for businesses that want to give their IT team a real break without leaving their organization exposed. Think of it as having a skilled backup crew ready to step in whenever you need them.

Strategic Project Support – Those critical IT projects on the back burner? Co-managed IT can help move them forward even when your team is unavailable.
