How We Transformed ‘Eclipse Digital's’ IT and Security to support their work within Defence.

 

Introduction

They were tired of reactive support that left them constantly firefighting, with no strategic direction for their technology investments. Their team was dealing with security vulnerabilities, productivity issues, and no clear vision of how technology could actually support their business growth.

Here's how we transformed their entire IT landscape.

The Problem

  • Reactive IT Support

    Their previous provider only responded when things broke. No prevention, no planning, just endless firefighting that disrupted business operations.

  • Security

    Their Microsoft environment had significant security gaps

  • No Strategic Direction

    Technology decisions were made in isolation without considering business goals. They had no road map for future growth or technology investments.

  • Productivity Barriers

    The team was struggling with inefficient systems and processes. Technology was hindering rather than helping their work.

  • Lack Of Expertise

    No access to consultancy or recommendations. They were making technology decisions without proper guidance or best practice knowledge.

Our Solution

We delivered a complete IT transformation built on strategic partnership rather than just technical support.

The approach: conduct comprehensive audits to understand their current state, implement security and productivity improvements, then establish ongoing proactive management aligned with their business objectives.

Everything designed to turn technology from a business constraint into a growth enabler.

Client Testimonial

"Having managed the process between MSP providers several times over the last few years, I can't say I've had a better experience than with labdesk. The guys kicked off the process by providing a detailed work breakdown of the steps involved, we set up a simple and clear communication channel and had weekly updates to discuss progress, upcoming items for the week ahead and potential user disruption allowing us to communicate this to the users ahead of time. The labdesk team has genuinely become an extension of the business and we're looking forward to the continued development of our environment alongside them."
