Growth is a defining milestone for every business, but it comes with its own set of challenges — especially when expansion happens through acquisition. From merging new teams with existing ones to introducing new technology, the process can be daunting without the proper IT partner.
At CMIT Solutions, Tempe, we specialize in providing enterprise-class support to businesses of all sizes. By allowing our customers to focus on their core competencies while we handle IT, we give them the confidence to grow. A recent success story highlights how our proactive, managed services made it possible for a customer to not only integrate an acquisition without issue but also build a solid foundation for future growth.
The Challenge: Technical Debt From an Acquisition
When this organization acquired another company, it inherited more than new employees and business opportunities. Along with it came significant technical debt: outdated systems, aging hardware, and a network that could not keep up with the increased demands of the growing organization.
The challenges included:
- Obsolete Infrastructure: 35 older workstations were hindering productivity.
- Underperforming Network: Inadequate capacity to accommodate expanded operations.
- Future Issues: Servers approaching end-of-life, jeopardizing business continuity.
If not addressed at once, these problems would have resulted in downtime, security exposures, and inefficiencies that would have hindered the organization from realizing the full advantages of the acquisition.
The Solution: Enterprise-Class IT Upgrades
As their go-to IT provider, CMIT Solutions, Tempe, intervened to create and implement a solution that met immediate requirements as well as long-term objectives.
- Workstation Modernization: We upgraded 35 aging workstations to new, dependable equipment. This upgrade instantly improved employee productivity and eliminated downtime resulting from slow, failing hardware.
- Network Overhaul: Seeing the value in having a solid foundation, we did a full network upgrade. The new infrastructure was crafted to absorb the added load and offer the scalability required as the business grew.
- Strategic Roadmap for Servers: Instead of providing a short-term fix, we developed with the client a roadmap for server upgrades. This forward-thinking plan will keep the organization ahead of technology issues, with server modernization scheduled for completion before the end of the year.
Our solution extended beyond simply correcting issues — we assisted the client in constructing an IT infrastructure poised for the future.
The Results: A Foundation for Growth
With CMIT Solutions, Tempe, as their managed IT services provider, the organization achieved the following:
- Increased productivity from new workstations that allow employees to operate effectively.
- Better reliability and scalability through an upgraded network infrastructure.
- Lower risk by planning in advance for server upgrades to ensure business continuity.
- A sense of security knowing that their trusted partner is managing IT so leadership can focus on generating business growth.
