Unpredictable IT bills are a challenge for any growing business. When every issue is handled reactively, costs are hard to plan and important data is left exposed.
Calibre Real Estate partnered with Essential Tech to move from fighting IT fires to a planned, managed environment, with protected data, stronger security and predictable monthly costs.
Our assessment: Calibre Real Estate
- IT bills were unpredictable, and issues were dealt with reactively rather than proactively.
- There was no backup service or effective IT plan in place, so valuable business data was at risk of being lost.
How we helped
Safe, reliable backups
Business data is backed up to the cloud automatically, and backups are tested regularly so files can be recovered when they’re needed.
End-to-end security
A managed firewall and real-time protection keep the business protected from security threats and vulnerabilities.
Built for growth
New systems were designed to scale, with infrastructure planned to support up to 100 additional staff.
Managed IT services
Essential Tech maintains and manages the environment and plans for disruption, so the team can focus on what they do best.
Predictable monthly costs
A monthly managed service replaced ad-hoc IT bills, with no large upfront costs.
Virtual CIO services
Quarterly planning meetings set technology priorities and schedule IT improvements.
High availability
Systems are monitored and managed for consistently high availability, with Essential Tech ready to respond quickly if anything goes down.
The result
Calibre’s management team now spends its time on growing the business rather than managing IT. Their data is protected, their environment is secure and planned for growth, and their IT costs are predictable month to month.
