Co-Management involves sharing the responsibility for the configuration, management and operation of a particular device or offering.

I first started using the term in 2002 to talk about firewall management. Co-Management represents a hybrid between a managed service (where the service provider provides all of the functions defined above) and an internal solution (where no service provider is involved).
