Success Stories
Infrastructure Support for a Major Retail Company
A major retail company wanted to move parts of its infrastructure and network operations back in-house to increase flexibility and help prepare for a cloud infrastructure migration.
We created a recruiting task force and process focused on quickly sourcing and onboarding consultants with niche retail operational experience in areas such as network engineering and support, server administration, desktop support, cloud architecture, development, telecommunications engineering, and others. Throughout the process we worked closely with the client’s teams to understand their requirements and objectives for each of the roles.
In less than 6 months we provided 42 consultants, with over half of those starting in the first 2 months.
Data Center Consolidation and Continued Operations
A large telecommunication company was faced with a data center consolidation effort because of a merger with a similar sized company.
We worked closely with the client’s IT Operations leadership to staff a dedicated PMO to provide oversight for the consolidation while ensuring operational stability and support for continued business growth. Additionally, we provided 30 DBA’s and System Administrators to support consolidation activities and fill gaps left by the recent merger.
Required staffing levels were achieved very quickly, and as needed throughout and after the consolidation, key resources were given the opportunity to become permanent employees for the client.
