Almost everything the business ran on had been put in the cloud, at around nine hundred dollars a month. The problem was on the other end: the whole team worked from the office, and the office network could not carry what had been moved.
Work that should have taken five minutes on their machines was taking as long as fifteen. The networking equipment had also been installed incorrectly, which slowed the connections to the machines and to the internet on top of everything else.
We brought a server in house and put the software on it locally, so the applications were no longer traveling over a connection that could not carry them.
Then we cleaned up the internal network faults that had been sitting underneath the whole arrangement since installation.
Once the server and the backups were paid for, the arrangement cost about half of what the previous one did. Productivity across the team rose by at least sixty percent.
The measure that matters to a subcontractor is turnaround, and that is what moved. The same tasks stopped taking three times longer than they should.
“We started our family-owned business in 1995. As we grew, we knew we were vulnerable to costly breaches because we had no employees with true IT expertise. That’s why we hired Renascence in 2018 to manage our computer systems, data and security. Their fraud and phishing training is a real eye opener and has kept us from making expensive mistakes. Organized, detail-oriented and very resourceful, they consider every aspect of our business and are much more than a subcontractor. They are our partner, fully focused on helping us survive and thrive.”
