Consolidated IT has worked with a wide range of clients. Below are examples of select architecture, public relations, finance and trade association industry case studies -
Dyer Brown Architects
Consolidated IT has provided IT support for Dyer Brown though a range of project implementations and managed services since 2005. CIT initially assisted Dyer Brown’s in house technology manager with key initiatives including the expansion of the network to a satellite suburban office and migration to an entirely new e-mail infrastructure.
When Dyer Brown’s operational strategy evolved Consolidated IT took on a larger role providing management of the full technology picture from network management to end user support. This model has provided Dyer Brown with team coverage of IT delivered by help desk specialists with regular visits, network engineers for project implementations, and executive counsel on long term planning – all at a fraction of the cost of one full time technology director.
Recent implementations include cloud-based disaster recovery backups, enhanced networking to facilitate voice over IP telephony, and high speed WAN acceleration between locations.
“Consolidated IT has provided steadfast management of our technology infrastructure for over 6 years. Their combination of highly responsive support and strategic counsel has enabled us to use technology in both smart and cost-effective ways. They function as a seamless part of our team while allowing us to focus on our core capabilities. The result is working more smoothly and spending less on IT staffing than we used to.”
- Carol Gillen, COO, Dyer Brown Associates
CHEN PR
CHEN PR has relied on Consolidated IT for fully managed IT for seven years. This relationship has provided CHEN with first rate technology for a highly mobile work force specializing in high tech public relations, coupled with extremely responsive support. The deadline driven nature of PR requires complete uptime of messaging, file services, and remote access. CIT has managed this service delivery over time with a focus on rapid response and assistance.
Key projects implemented for CHEN include high speed internet upgrades, low downtime server replacement, and facilities relocation.
“Dan has been keeping our IT infrastructure running like clockwork for the last seven years. He is quite simply the most knowledgeable and professional IT consultant I’ve had the pleasure of working with, including during stints at large multinationals with extensive IT departments. Dan’s responsiveness and attention to our business make us feel like he’s always right there when we need him. Given his skill set, we find this a preferable and more cost-effective approach to hiring a full-time staffer. We think of Dan as a valued and integral member of the CHEN PR team.”
- Barbara Ewen, Principal, CHEN PR
CW Downer & Company
CW Downer, a mid-market investment bank with locations around the world, looks to Consolidated IT for network management and escalated end user support. Since 2007 we’ve provided oversight of servers, networks, and assisted in projects such as appropriate archiving of e-mail for financial regulatory compliance.
Key advantages for CWD have been rapid response to network and workstation outages, whether during business hours or on weekends.
“CIT has handled our network with a flexible support package for many years. We’ve seen them react rapidly and with personal attention when sudden challenges arise. They also assist in taking a long term view of our needs by presenting us with the best options for smart enhancements. In particular, we’ve appreciated their willingness to collaborate with other vendors, ensuring that CRM and accounting projects go smoothly.”
- Patricia H. Allan, Marketing Director, CW Downer
Boston Society of Architects
The Boston Society of Architects has relied on Consolidated IT for a variety of projects during our six year partnership. Key projects include strategic vendor selection and project management of application rollout, facilities planning and relocation and long term general managed IT.
“The BSA partners with Consolidated IT to meet a range of IT challenges, both routine and strategic. To meet the evolving needs of our membership and staff, we need effective management of our network, support for frequent changes, and CIO-level assistance with project management and planning. Dan and his team are extremely professional and responsive, and our relationship with CIT allows us to have the service and depth of a full-time IT team at an affordable cost.”
- Ann Fienman, Deputy Director, BSA
