Situation:
Learning Point Associates needed guidance on right sizing a prospective storage solution and assurance that the selected architecture fully integrated with the organization’s information technology goals. Learning Point Associates was referred to Equilibrium by a local storage technology integrator. Through our initial conversations, it quickly became apparent that storage related questions were only part of the puzzle.
Strategic Approach:
- An IT Business Plan was conducted that produced a 3-5 year strategic IT Infrastructure Plan. The IT Business Plan helped the organization to start making incremental progress towards overall goals while understanding how to phase technologies in at appropriate times to address business needs.
- IT Services Program to develop and support the organization’s environment and talented IT staff.
- Best Practice Administration (BPA) ensures systems are maintained properly by ensuring that routine maintenance is completed on a regular and timely basis.
- Equilibrium Systems Monitoring (ESM) was deployed to systems within the organization instantly providing Equilibrium and Learning Point Associate’s IT staff with a functional tool to more proactively manage the overall environment.
Results:
Learning Point Associates is confidently moving an Infrastructure plan forward that includes major improvements to server, desktop, network, security, storage and data protection.
