Challenges
Northland Door Systems has 2 locations and a portfolio of crews serving across the state of Wisconsin. They relied on a centralized server hierarchy and the previous support team had performed minimal documentation and updating, leading to a series of catastrophic IT failures.
How 411 I.T. Group Helped
By implementing full managed services, 411 I.T. Group rewrote poor security practices, advised on best practices, and implemented Northland Door’s new computer policies.
All computer-related processes & backups are now fully documented and that documentation exists in the hands of Northland Doors Administration. With these policies in place, Northland Door Systems has been able to refocus on their core product line, and leave the worries of their IT behind.
