  • Old computers which were slow

Objectives:

  • Gather requirements
  • Understand current business processes and needs of client
  • Deliver solution to meet requirements within budget and within time deadline

Solution:  Deploy new IT infrastructure

  • Second phase: Order hardware and schedule callout onsite with client to install it. Liaise with third party contractors such as electricians.
  • Third phase: Migrating data
  • Fourth Phase: Guide client through new setup and be on hand to support and answer questions.  Assist client throughout following weeks

Results:

  • Peace of mind for client with quality support from the team at Hybrid
