Meeting Specific Needs of a Large Start Up Manufacturer
- Posted 2 months ago
Client Profile
A large start-up manufacturer was relying on a local Managed Service Provider (MSP) for IT services. However, the MSP’s offerings were misaligned with the manufacturer’s actual needs, leading to high costs and underutilized services.
Challenges
The manufacturer was spending approximately $27,000 per month on outsourced IT services without fully understanding their operational needs or optimizing their spend. The goal was to reduce expenses while enhancing functionality and aligning services with the core requirements.
Solution
D.E. Bottom Line Consulting conducted a thorough analysis to identify the manufacturer’s specific needs and operational goals.
Pinpoint Specific Needs and Goals
D.E. Bottom Line Consulting provided several tailored options, ultimately securing a new contract for $15,700 per month.
- Trim services that were not utilized
- Focus on services that were pivotal
- Increase bandwidth for future growth
Results
This new arrangement included essential functionalities and excluded unnecessary services. The savings of $11,300 per month, or roughly 42%, were immediately realized. The cost reduction allowed the manufacturer to invest in additional IT infrastructure, including SD-WAN and extra internet circuits for redundancy across all three facilities, as well as integrate a VOIP phone system. The improvements enhanced operational efficiency, ensured better connectivity, and provided robust support for the company’s growing needs.
