Launch

Your roadmap to a modern IT environment

We’ve done this enough times to stop improvising. Launch is a structured program to build the modern, managed IT environment that you need based on your business needs.

Where our clients come from

You have no IT function

No IT function, nothing documented, and whoever had the most patience for it ended up owning it. Launch builds the whole thing.

You're switching IT providers

Access, credentials, and documentation sit under somebody else's contract. Launch handles the handover and takes ownership without a coverage gap.

Your IT is in good shape

You don't need rebuilding. You need deeper expertise, standardization, documentation, and ownership by a team that answers for it.

Advanced Compliance

SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS. Readiness assessment, gap analysis, control mapping, evidence gathering, and audit support.

Cloud & Server Management

On-premise servers and cloud infrastructure. Monitoring, patching, virtualization, Active Directory health, certificate lifecycle, and cloud cost advisory.

Advanced Security

Zero trust network access, contractor and third-party access controls, device posture, risk assessments, and security policy beyond the standard set. Scoped to your environment.

next step

Graduate from Launch into Workforce+

Workforce+ is the ongoing managed service covering your users, devices and IT strategy under one program. It flexes around whatever your team already owns, with ownership defined at the start so there are no gaps and no overlap.

Support through the entire lifecycle

Coterie brought Lerner in to support a national team through rapid headcount growth and an evolving office footprint. Process and policy development, cybersecurity compliance, device management, 24/7 help desk, provisioning, on and offboarding, and shipping and receiving. What started as an onboarding turned into five years of running the function.

common questions

Before we talk, here's what most teams want to know.

What's the difference between Launch and Workforce+?

Launch is the program that builds the foundation. Workforce+ is the ongoing service that runs it. Launch graduates into Workforce+ with no gap in coverage. Launch isn't sold on its own.

How long does Launch take?

Capabilities, such as support desk, device management,  & access control, get implemented in a logical sequence. Many of them turn on in weeks 1-3, others in weeks 4-6. By weeks 7+, your environment is running, and we're focused on building your strategy, reporting, & budget.

We have a functioning IT environment already. Do we still need Launch?

It depends. If our scope is narrow & well defined, we can sometimes just dive straight in. But many clients start at Launch, because it doubles as our onboarding. A documented environment with managed devices means less remediation and faster phases.

Can we run add-ons during Launch?

Yes. If your environment needs Location Management or Device Logistics from day one, those get scoped and run alongside, and they carry through into Workforce+ at graduation without restructuring anything.
