To serve as a trusted advisor to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in-person training from these suppliers. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
A financial investment firm was having problems with their managed service provider (MSP). After struggling with slow responses, delays in ticket resolution, incomplete projects involving Microsoft Azure migration and data loss prevention (DLP), and SLAs not being met, the company decided to switch to a new MSP, one of our trusted partners.
Our partner has extensive experience with the financial industry and in-depth expertise in cloud services and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). They rapidly implemented a suite of managed IT and cybersecurity solutions – including managed servers, data backup and recovery, managed Microsoft 365, end user support, and managed network and IT security services. After outsourcing IT support to our partner, the financial firm experienced significant cloud and network performance improvements and better security. With reliable 24/7 support from their new MSP, the company doesn’t have to stress about complying with financial industry regulations.
That’s just one example of how best-in-class managed services can drive better business outcomes. If you also need reliable IT and cybersecurity services from a forward-thinking partner, you should consider working with the same MSP. Our technology advisors recently met with the provider’s team to discuss their portfolio and how their offerings optimize application performance and future-proof their clients’ operations.
