Client’s Challenge
One of the business owners reached out to Axxys to discuss their current IT manager’s workload as well as the need for expertise in securing their network environment. We met with the IT Manager to better understand their network environment and discuss areas where he needed Axxys’ help with general tasks and specific areas of specialized expertise. Specifically, the IT Manager requested help with information security for their Microsoft Office 365 environment, migration to a new server environment, and a new data backup and disaster recovery program.
Axxys Solution Selected
We selected our Axxys co-managed IT services to meet the client’s unique needs.
Our Approach
Our approach was to undertake a full client onboarding procedure, document their server and network environment, and take tickets escalated by the IT Manager for documented IT tasks and responsibilities.
The client is billed monthly for a set of block hours that includes any ticket escalations as well as a quarterly meeting to assist with IT planning and strategy. Axxys and the client have formed a relationship that allows the IT Manager to focus more on end user issues as well as strategy planning with Axxys’ assistance.
