The challenge

The company was growing fast and had outgrown its previous IT provider. Each location had grown its own setup, core systems ran from an office server room, and IT was struggling to keep up with the business. Leadership needed a partner who could build a foundation for growth and move IT forward in step with the company’s plans.

Before

  • Each location ran its own setup
  • Core systems in an office server room
  • IT working to keep pace with growth

After

  • One standard across all 8 locations
  • Core systems in a resilient data center
  • IT ready ahead of each new site and acquisition

What we did

We fully manage the company’s IT infrastructure and support, and we rebuilt it around one standard, so every new site, acquisition, and service plugs into a proven design.

  • Engineered for scale. We modernized the core infrastructure and moved it into a colocation data center with redundant power, cooling, and connectivity.
  • Standardized everything. One system architecture and one set of IT processes now run across every location, which makes the environment predictable to support and simple to expand.
  • Moved the administrative team to a new building. We planned and delivered the IT for the company’s move into a new administrative office, built on the same standard from day one.
  • Connected the growth strategy. We integrated the company’s new cloud services partners with its existing systems as part of the expansion.
  • Kept IT aligned with the business. 24/7 security monitoring and monthly planning meetings with leadership keep priorities, budget, and risk visible.

The result

  • One accountable partner for infrastructure, support, and security through five years of growth.
  • Grew from 4 locations to 8, including acquired companies brought onto the same environment.
  • A repeatable blueprint, so each new site or acquisition gets up and running faster.
  • Core systems in a resilient data center instead of an office server room.
  • An IT roadmap that leadership reviews and steers every month.
