Transforming a Client’s IT Landscape: From Outdated Systems to a Modern Managed Services.

In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, outdated technology can pose serious challenges for organisations. From compliance risks to skyrocketing support costs, older systems often become burdensome, inefficient, and, ultimately, a barrier to productivity. Recently, we worked with a client in the real estate sector to transform their technology environment, helping them navigate these challenges and bring their IT up to a modern standard.

Our client had been relying on an antiquated IT system, which exposed them to various operational and compliance issues. Their outdated infrastructure lacked essential security features, putting their business data at risk and failing to meet modern regulatory standards. This added a layer of vulnerability, with potential risks of data breaches and compliance penalties.

To make matters more challenging, the client had previously been billed per hour for support services, leading to unpredictable costs that exceeded $400 an hour. This billing structure was not only costly but also impacted their ability to plan for IT expenses and allocate resources effectively. With each support issue translating into a substantial cost, managing technology became an expensive and frustrating ordeal.

We took a comprehensive approach to revitalise the client’s technology landscape. The first step was to clean up their existing environment by resolving legacy system issues and strengthening their security posture. This foundational work helped eliminate inefficiencies and address the compliance gaps that had previously exposed their business to unnecessary risks.

After stabilising their systems, we transitioned the client to our Vital Care Managed Services Agreement, which provides unlimited support at a predictable monthly rate. This solution eliminated the hourly billing model, replacing it with a more flexible and budget-friendly arrangement. Our team’s proactive monitoring and support ensured that the client’s IT infrastructure stayed secure and efficient, all while keeping their IT costs under control.

One of the most significant benefits of this transition was the enhanced efficiency around employee onboarding and offboarding processes. By managing these processes directly, we helped streamline IT operations, reducing the time and cost associated with these tasks and minimising downtime for employees.

The client experienced improved system performance, more reliable support, and greater peace of mind knowing that their technology was being managed by professionals committed to their success. Our Vital Care approach helped improve their productivity, while also mitigating compliance and security risks—a vital advantage in today’s digital landscape.
