Left in the lurch
As part of a cost-cutting exercise, a mining consumables company was told their IT department was to be significantly downsized and they were to fully outsource their IT management.
The timing couldn’t have been worse, as the company had a number of IT projects they were part of the way through and no longer had the internal expertise to complete.
CPS stepped in and scoped a managed service contract which covered 24/7 support of their LAN/WAN and firewall; network monitoring, alerting and supplier management, as well as provision for completion of outstanding projects and a number of new projects to be delivered during the first year. We suggested service improvements of virtualisation, retiring out of support hardware, upgrading of software and other enhancements.
Following its first year, the staff and management team were very happy and the managed service was deemed a success for both parties. The contract was subsequently renewed with only minor alterations being required.
