Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?Dyrand’s overall project management has been structured and reliable. From the outset, they assigned a dedicated project manager and clearly mapped out milestones, timelines, and deliverables. We received regular status updates (via email and scheduled check-in calls), and any changes in scope or priorities were documented and discussed before implementation. This gave us good visibility into what was happening and when.In terms of timelines, key deliverables were generally completed on or before the agreed dates. On the few occasions where tasks took longer than planned (for example, when dependencies on third-party vendors or internal approvals caused delays), Dyrand flagged the risk early, explained the impact, and provided revised timelines. As a result, there were no unexpected or unmanaged delays on critical items.Dyrand has been responsive to our needs, particularly when urgent issues arose. Day-to-day requests logged through their ticketing system typically receive a timely acknowledgement and follow-up, and more complex or strategic needs are escalated quickly to senior engineers or leadership. They have also shown flexibility—adjusting priorities to accommodate BlackNorth’s event timelines, board meetings, and other time-sensitive initiatives, and providing clear, non-technical explanations so our team can make informed decisions.What was your primary form of communication with Dyrand Systems?Virtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?What stood out most about Dyrand is that they feel less like a vendor and more like a true partner.We’ve been especially impressed by how quickly they understood our mission, constraints, and pace as a nonprofit, and then tailored their approach accordingly. They don’t just “keep the lights on” technically—they think about how technology supports our board, our programs, our events, and our broader commitment to equity, and they adjust their recommendations with that in mind.A few things we found most impressive or unique:Proactive, not reactive:They don’t wait for things to break. We consistently see them flagging risks early, proposing improvements, and scheduling upgrades or changes before they become urgent issues.Clear, accessible communication:They are very good at translating complex technical topics into plain language. That makes it much easier for our leadership team to make informed decisions without getting bogged down in jargon.Sensitivity to cost and capacity:As a nonprofit, we have to be thoughtful with every dollar. Dyrand has been deliberate about recommending solutions that balance security, reliability, and cost, rather than pushing the most expensive option by default.Event- and mission-aware support:They understand that critical moments for us—summits, galas, board meetings—cannot fail. We’ve seen them adjust priorities and provide extra support around those key dates, which has been invaluable.Consistency of service and people:Having a stable team that knows our environment and history has made interactions smoother and built trust over time. We’re not re-explaining who we are and what we do every time we need help.Overall, what we find most impressive is Dyrand’s combination of technical competence, proactive mindset, and genuine alignment with our mission and way of working.Are there any areas for improvement or something Dyrand Systems could have done differently?Overall, Dyrand Systems has been a strong partner, with a few clear opportunities to improve:More structured roadmap & ownership:A formal 12–24 month technology roadmap, with clearer timelines, responsibilities, and escalation paths (especially when third parties are involved), would help us plan and coordinate more effectively.Stronger user enablement:Short trainings and simple how-to guides (especially on security and Microsoft 365 tools) would empower staff, reduce repeat tickets, and help us get more value from our systems.Richer reporting & executive framing:More standardized quarterly reporting (tickets, uptime, security, backup health) with clear business impact and recommendations would make it easier for leadership and the board to see performance and make informed decisions. --- #### Managed IT Services & Servers Migration for Recruiting Co **The Project** - Services: Cloud Consulting & SI, IT Managed Services, Other IT Consulting and SI - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Apr. 2014 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Dyrand Systems provides managed IT services for a recruiting company.
