Featured case study
From fragmented IT to a structured managed partnership
How an 18-user veterinary practice replaced reactive
support, fragmented suppliers and unmanaged devices with a
single accountable IT partnership.
THE CHALLENGE
Slow reactive support, three separate IT and
telecoms suppliers, no documented operations
and no strategic input. Leadership had no
visibility of risk or roadmap.
WHAT ATS IMPROVED
Discovery and audit, identify and device
baselining, consolidated helpdesk under named
UK engineers, documented runbooks and
quarterly strategic reviews.
OPERATIONAL OUTCOMES
- Documented Operational standards in place within two weeks.
- Identity, devices and Microsoft 365 hardened under one managed estate.
- Helpdesk consolidated, clearer SLAs and faster resolution.
- Quarterly strategic reviews aligned IT to the firm’s growth roadmap.
