BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

MCHA is a corporate housing company located in The Woodlands, TX. The company has been in business for +18 years with approx 35 employees. I am a project manager.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Chrysalis MSP?

Our legacy IT infrastructure was struggling to keep up with demand, and the file server we were using was no longer supported. When we considered options for replacement or upgrade we considered converting to cloud-based computing to support remote and in-house work.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

ChrysalisMSP is our current managed IT provider. We elected to go with cloud-based computing because of the scalability and because we could stay within budget.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We held a meeting to discuss our needs, future plans, after which ChrysalisMSP recommended several alternatives. We selected the cloud-based option both for cost and scalability. ChrysalisMSP devoted resources to the planning and migration of our data to the new cloud-based provider. From beginning to end the project took about 2-mo and was seamless for us.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

3 members from Chysalis' Customer Success Team took care of us, I'm sure involving other members of the Chrysalis team as necessary.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We were able to fully migrate from an in-house server to a cloud-based solution. We've had a few minor glitches with non-responsiveness that they're helping us chase down with Microsoft. The migration was successful and painless from our perspective.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Chrysalis has a reliable team that has been very responsive to our inquiries.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The team drew from their past experiences to recommend helpful Microsoft solutions. It was an easy choice.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

We can't think of anything that we'd do differently at this time.
