Integris

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of IT at Mid Kansas Pediatric Associates, a private pediatric group in Kansas. I have a nursing background and handle all of our clinical software. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

We were looking for a new IT service provider to help us quote and implement new servers. We wanted a local provider who could be quick on-site and reliable to address any downtime and our day-to-day needs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris has replaced the servers we needed then and taken over as our managed service provider. They help us with networking, printing, and application and software needs.

What is the team composition?

We work with 4–6 teammates from Integris, including Doug and Stephen.

How did you come to work with Integris?

Our electronic medical records vendor referred us to them. We had been looking at several companies, and Integris’ pricing was accommodating and reasonable. They came in with the best bid, especially for the servers we needed to replace, so we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $100,000–$250,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2019, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We don’t have any issues with their work. Their timeliness is excellent; when we submit a ticket, it’s usually completed within the same or the next day.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris ensures that they utilize a project manager for every project, which is helpful for keeping everyone aware of the steps we’re taking. They also hold weekly or biweekly meetings with everyone on the team. We communicate via Zoom and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their attention to detail is great, and they ensure we’re satisfied. If there’s an issue, they follow up to ensure it’s not recurring and has been fully resolved. We also like their team approach; we’re always getting the same people, so we’re used to the technicians and engineers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The quote process could be a little faster.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Work with Integris as your vCIO so they know your environment, needs, and future needs. The better they know you, the better they can work with you.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the production director at an oil and gas trade publication that has been in business for over 60 years.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

We needed to install a new server.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris has been our MSP for several years. The team addresses our service tickets regarding issues with our computers, and the latest project we've worked on was replacing our server, which was out of warranty. 

Integris has gone through the process of calling us a new server and getting it installed. After reviewing and approving the quote, Integris' project manager contacted me to do an onboarding. We had an introductory call, and he laid out in an email the process of who would be doing each of the project's different steps. The team managed backend work apart from me, which took a couple of weeks. Then, two teammates came on-site to install the server's machine.

Integris provides on-site and remote services, and the next project we'll work on is installing new hardware for our users. We've just approved the quote.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with five teammates from Integris: a project coordinator, an engineer who has worked on the technical backend, an infrastructure administrator who came on-site to install the server, another technician, and our virtual CIO.

How did you come to work with Integris?

We've been a client of Integris for many years. We've worked with the team through many iterations of their company.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent $20,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our engagement with Integris is ongoing, and we worked on our last project from June–August 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The success of the server replacement project is that we're still up and running, and we haven't had the need to call Integris. Things are running smoothly, which I expect from the team because they do such a good job with their preparation and processes.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris' project management is great. The team's project manager contacted us two days after I approved the quote to get going on the project; that was a good response time. Integris' project manager has laid out the steps and prepared the timeline, which went pretty well. I'm happy with the process. Integris has a quick response time, which is why we've worked with them for so long. We primarily communicate through email and have had a couple of phone calls and Zoom meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Integris' response time to issues has been impressive. I appreciate the team has laid out the process and let me know what to expect. We've had such a long relationship with Integris that we know who our team is. We know who will work with and who to expect to hear from. We've seen Integris' growth over the years, and it's been great to watch and see how they've transitioned.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Integris can improve on. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I suggest giving Integris a try. Give the team a call and let them know your issues to see how they can work through them. We put a lot of trust in Integris and what they can do for us.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Sunlight Children’s Services, a small to mid-size nonprofit.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

We had never previously had a contracted IT provider, and we needed to consolidate our multiple locations under one entity to help us send information easily and organize everything in one place.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris provides all of our IT support. Most of the time, they work remotely, but if we have a problem, they’ll come on-site. Usually, we can submit a ticket, and 90% of the time, they can remote in and help us fix our problem. They also manage our network.

We recently transitioned from a network server to an online cloud-based server, and Integris managed that transition for us. Additionally, they provide all of our AV support, including our security cameras and door access. They’ve also assisted with the installation and wiring of all of our new systems for security and building access.

What is the team composition?

We have an account manager, Douglas (vCIO), and I speak with him whenever there’s a larger concern. We also have a dedicated IT individual who helps us handle more complex issues. When we submit tickets, whoever picks up those tickets helps us. We work with 4–5 individuals whom we've gotten to know.

How did you come to work with Integris?

Integris selected us as the nonprofit of the year in 2018. We collaborated with them because they wanted to be in the community and give back to nonprofits in the area.

How much have you invested with them?

Our payment is in kind. We don’t pay for the support services, but we do pay for AV and equipment. Since the beginning, we’ve contributed around $50,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in the third or fourth quarter of 2018, and the project is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Integris has definitely changed the way we’re able to collaborate on our two programs and share information because we’re in two different locations. Before working with Integris, we didn’t have a shared network or access to the same files. We also didn’t have the security measures we do now to protect our information. 

This project has definitely been a game changer for us in the way we’re able to do our day-to-day work. Moreover, everyone on Integris' team does a fantastic job. It doesn't matter who we call; everyone provides good service.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve always been very responsive. Integris performs at a very high level and is able to solve any problems that come up quickly. If they don’t have an answer that day, it’s normally something that’s resolved within the week. We have a customer portal with a ticketing system, so we can recall tickets. They track that information and give it to me once a year during our annual reviews.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Our point of contact for complex issues always does a fabulous job and is very knowledgeable when we have a problem.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Integris' wide range of services and knowledge of the IT realm is impressive. We previously struggled to find somebody who could solve all of our problems, so it’s nice to have a team who can help with our scanners, printers, security features, and emails. We don’t have to work with multiple providers on those different services.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only thing we’ve ever struggled with is deploying new devices. When we get new computers, sometimes the deployment of those takes a little bit longer than anything else we normally do, and we’ve had a few more problems with that. Integris knows about this challenge and has given me some tools to try to help streamline getting new devices set up.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend having Integris do a thorough assessment of all your current services to see if there’s a more efficient way to have them all covered. I wish we had done that sooner.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the administrator of a healthcare clinic. Our organization provides multiple medically-related services, including pain management, workers' compensation for injuries, physical searches for pilots, and physical therapy.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?
We needed help managing our complete internet systems, including our servers and computer systems.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
Integris helps us manage our internet systems, from servers to computer systems. They’re responsible for installing computers and other equipment and troubleshooting when our systems experience a delay, whether because of an outside source or a problem within our system. They can do this remotely, which makes it convenient not only for them but also for us. They also come on-site as needed or when an issue cannot be solved remotely.

What is the team composition?
We work with 4–5 people from Integris daily, including their concierge staff.

How did you come to work with Integris?
We’ve been working with Integris since we were just a startup company. Our relationship with Integris was one of the many developed by the company executives at that time, and it grew from there. We’ve never considered changing IT partners or discussed going anywhere else.

What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working with Integris for more than 20 years now.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Integris’ resources have had the most significant impact on our business. Our partnership with Integris provides us access to resources that we, an independently-owned business, wouldn’t have otherwise, such as our computer systems and applications.

As a clinic, our revenue is reliant on our internet and computer systems being always up and running because we lose money otherwise. Integris availability, responsiveness to our requests, and hands-on support allow us to keep our systems up and running and our work completed on time.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?
Integris has performed well in terms of project management. They’re always available to us through phone calls and emails and can quickly come on-site whenever we need them.

We primarily communicate with them through emails and phone calls. I have a more direct line of access with them, which is by design, so I can dial them directly whenever I need immediate support.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
I would like to give a shout-out to their IT Support Specialist, who is the most knowledgeable about our systems. He knows where all the trouble spots are and can trace them out efficiently. We’ve never had a problem that he couldn’t get his hands on and fix. He has also trained several people about our clinic, and they do a pretty good job whenever he's unavailable.

What did you find most impressive about them?
We’ve been working with Integris for more than 20 years, so they know our system incredibly well. We still work with the same team that we started with. We appreciate how they prioritize our needs, always listen to our concerns and input, and provide appropriate solutions.

Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I can’t think of anything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Make sure Integris matches your culture before working with them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CFO at Intrinsic Therapeutics, Inc.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

We needed an outsourced IT services provider to manage various projects and our entire IT infrastructure. Our previous managed services provider wasn't providing the services we needed. The help desk support was lacking, and the response time was bad. I joined my company right at the time they were considering changing their IT provider and recommended Integris since I had previously worked with them.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris manages our entire IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, mainly hardware and network. The team reviews our infrastructure and helps us manage it. As things start to age and need to be replaced, Integris helps us think through the most efficient way of doing that. We don't have an in-house IT teammate, although we have a very capable office manager with extensive experience in this area. Integris manages the entire process with the help of our internal office manager. 

The majority of Integris' services are remote since we're located in Boston, and they're in Atlanta. The team has come to our office only a few times. 

What is the team composition?

Our primary contact is Jeanine (Solutions Architect), and we meet with her on a quarterly basis. She oversees our needs. Before, we worked with Anita (Director, Strategic Solutions), with whom I've worked through different companies. We work with a handful of other teammates as needs come up.

How did you come to work with Integris?

I've worked with Integris for more than 10 years. This is the third company I've worked at that I've used Integris' services. I initially found out about the team through a mail letter, and we were looking to change our IT provider. I interviewed Integris and ended up hiring them, and I've engaged with the team at every company I've worked at since then.
How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Integris around January 2023, and our engagement is ongoing. The team provides services on a monthly basis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We've seen an increase in the help desk response time compared to the previous service provider we had. Integris' work quality meets our expectations.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris delivers work on time and on budget and has great communication with us via email and Zoom. We recently had a project kick-off call on Zoom with project managers and other teammates responsible. We receive routine updates through email and calls if needed.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Integris has quickly gotten up to speed on our business; they understand the IT environment and infrastructure much better than I do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of any improvement areas for Integris; they’ve done great work.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest maintaining an open dialogue with Integris and a good relationship.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of IT and development for PACE.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

 We needed their team’s development expertise.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris is our full-service managed services provider (MSP), so they basically help us maintain our IT infrastructure. Their work also includes cybersecurity. Integris' support is a hybrid between on-site and remote support. For example, they've helped us purchase and maintain all of our laptops and hardware equipment. Their team also offers hosting services, and although we use some of those services, we mostly manage hosting on our own.

What is the team composition?

We essentially have a full IT team from Integris at our disposal, depending on the needs. We have a vCIO and a senior-level technician, as well as various engineers who help us with anything, from installing software to repairing our laptops.

How did you come to work with Integris?

Although I wasn't part of the initial onboarding, I believe they were recommended to us.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working together since June 2018.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We didn't have an MSP before Integris, so I can't compare their level of service or improvements achieved. Still, the quality of their work has met our expectations.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris delivers on time and on budget, and they communicate well with us. Whenever we need something, we send an email to their provided addresses, which then goes into a ticketing system on their end. Everything is communicated through email and phone calls, but it's tracked through that system.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Integris' knowledge base is impressive. They're well-versed in current technologies and excellent at managing expectations. Overall, they're very solid in everything that has to do with technology.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Integris could improve on.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Have a clear idea about what you need and expect the best from them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of IT at Miner's Inc., a grocery retail chain. We offer Super One Foods as our grocery banner and Super Liquor as our liquor banner. We also have a Miner's distribution center of 200,000ft². In total, we have 31 grocery stores and 12 liquor stores. I've been in the company for 30 years.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

In recent years, one of our goals and objectives included performing a big project to transition from on-premise servers to Microsoft 365 in the cloud. As there was fear of the unknown regarding what it took to get us there, we decided to hire Integris to manage that project for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris has helped us migrate from on-premise servers to Microsoft 365 — they're the brains behind the solution. Recently, their team also worked with us on a warehouse management system upgrade, helping us transition to a new cloud-based solution.

We're doing voice picking in our warehouse. Integris has helped us manage the wireless setup in the warehouse, getting everything honed in and heat-mapped to achieve full coverage. Currently, we're about to get into a project using Microsoft Intune to manage desktop computers. Moreover, one of Integris' biggest initiatives has been cybersecurity implementation.

Integris also manages our servers. We used to have physical servers in Iraq at the data center that we leased from Integris. Since then, we've moved into an IaaS solution that they offer. This is a managed service, so instead of purchasing hardware, we now simply rent a space in their servers.

Most of Integris' work is done remotely. However, some of their leadership works on-premise. For example, we have a vCIO and customer success person who comes on-premise and manages all of our projects. Still, we have a 90-person staff who does all of the physical lifting.

What is the team composition?

In addition to the vCIO, there are more teammates working for us behind the scenes. For example, there's a systems engineer with whom I touch base at least once per week. We also have a secondary vCIO as a backup. Therefore, if I need to scale something and my vCIO is not available, I can reach out to my backup.

Additionally, I have access to other resources, such as the director of operations and the CEO, who make themselves available if needed. For example, I email their CEO once in a while, and in fact, we're going to have lunch in New York soon.

How did you come to work with Integris?

We were partners with one of the managed service providers (MSPs) that joined in the last couple of years. We were partners with this other company in the 90s. However, when this MSP joined Integirs, we challenged them and looked around for other companies to compare them.

During this process, I did my research, talked with other like-minded IT directors in the retail grocery space, and heard a lot of failure and success points. However, we didn't see the benefit of transitioning away from them because we had a very good partnership.

Anytime we had a challenge during the transition process, such as a very big invoicing issue, Integris did everything they could to help us out and get us through that. They honored their business and were willing to do what it took to ensure our success. Since then, we've maintained relationships with many personnel who are now part of Integris.

How much have you invested with them?

We invest around $1.2 million per year.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've been working with them since November 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Integris has been a good partner for us on all of our projects. They've been a great asset resource for solutions, whether they provide direct solutions for us or collaborate with third parties as a part of our team. Our voice-picking operations weren't very good before, but after Integris' intervention, everything has turned out very well. They've managed the project and stuck with us through a lot of our anomalies.

We originally implemented a warehouse management system in 2006, but in 2023, Integirs helped us move from on-premise servers to the cloud. Moving this warehouse management system to the cloud was a challenge, and I felt like our productivity would decrease.

Nonetheless, Integris went the extra mile, worked with us, and did an on-site survey about our warehouse to realign everything and make it more efficient and effective. Integris has also helped us design a whole server environment and put the access point in place. Thanks to these solutions, the productivity of our warehouse has increased immensely.

Labor is always a challenge for everyone, but thanks to Integris, we've even achieved labor savings. Our warehouse manager is very happy and has told our operations director that this new system is excellent. These results have everything to do with the system's architecture and how Integris designed it. They did all that for us with our blessing.

One of our most impactful projects has to do with disaster recovery. Thanks to Integris, we feel in a good posture regarding our cybersecurity vulnerability. We sell groceries to make money, so we rely on our servers to put prices down in the stores and charge the right price for the items we sell.

With Integris' help, we've created an environment where we have a data center in Duluth, Minnesota, and a secondary, identical data center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where our mission-critical servers are located. We've reached the point where if something happens that corrupts our primary server, we can be operating again from our backup servers within an hour. This environment helps me sleep at night knowing that we're secure.

Now, we're looking forward to implementing Microsoft Intune on our computers to have a standard design. We've purchased 80 computers, so we're going to start deploying that solution soon with one of my new employees. We're very confident that this would be a good adventure.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris has always delivered on budget; we've never had a challenge in that regard. Moreover, they've always met their timelines, although we sometimes don't meet them on our end. Still, they've never called and pressured us.

We ultimately use tickets, but we also communicate verbally a lot. If something is urgent, I go directly to my vCIO for help. Then, she creates a ticket to help me manage the issue or complete the task, no matter if it's an evening, a weekday, or a weekend—she's always there.

Usually, I don't use project management tools. However, one time, we were running a project, and the expectations and timelines were getting a little unclear. Therefore, I asked Integris to use a project management tool. I believe they selected Microsoft Project. They delivered a Gantt chart for that project.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Integris has gone above and beyond, and the level of engagement from their leadership has been outstanding. For example, we've had their CEO have lunch with us and go through some of the open items, demonstrating that they're invested in me as a customer.

Moreover, Integris understands well how my company makes money, and our success is their success. Therefore, they strive to ensure that we're making money. Overall, they understand their customers and what makes them successful very well.

Other more traditional MSPs we worked with in the past were usually knowledgeable, but they had teammates knowing three different topics at once. However, Integris is really deep and granular regarding their expertise. They have a lot more to offer when it comes to their knowledge in different fields and areas. Their knowledge encompasses disaster recovery, cybersecurity, server environment, and storage. There's a lot of strength and depth in what they do.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Integris is continuously listening to their customers, understanding their talent, and making transitions, which is a double-edged sword. Whenever there's a challenge, they realign their employee structure.

The only downside of this practice is that we can get used to working with one teammate and suddenly get a different teammate assigned. It is not that the new teammate is the wrong person for the project, but we can't get familiar with someone because they change their team once in a while. Still, they get projects across the line.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Get their permission to talk to another of their customers in your same industry about their experience, and get the customer reference based on tenure, which is very important to me. For example, if they have a customer who has been working with Integris for 30 years, I want to talk to them and get an honest opinion.

I've actually done this for Integris myself. I've talked to other companies and told them the good and bad things, as well as some of the challenges we've had in the past. Therefore, I recommend getting a like-minded customer reference.

Additionally, challenge Integris and ask them about their opinion on other MSPs. I'm not a fan of badmouthing competition, so if a potential service provider talks badly about their competitors, it indicates to me that they're negative people with whom I don't want to work.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm a director at New Hope Baptist Church, located in Fayetteville, Georgia.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

We're a church, so we're not known for our corporate IT. Although we tried to manage our IT ourselves for years, we recently asked Integris to do that for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Integris provides us with managed IT and cloud services. Their main services include help desk support, network management, device management, software services, and cybersecurity services. Their team ensures that our firewalls and network are up to speed and protect our church.

Integris also handles special projects. For example, they've migrated us from older technologies to newer technologies and helped us move to the cloud. Their team has also purchased and installed different types of wireless devices, network endpoints, and firewalls.

For every special project, Integris looks at our requirements because everything needs to be the right size for us. After assessing our needs and understanding our budgets, they select the proper equipment for us. Their work also includes maintenance.

What is the team composition?

At the start of every project, I'm usually in contact with 2–3 teammates from Integris, including the executive account manager. From there, their team broadens into subject matter engineers or network analysts, depending on our needs.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over $5,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our latest project started in February 2024 and ended in July 2024. Still, our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Integris has done a fantastic job. The team focuses on what we need rather than on what they're trying to accomplish. when they look at us, they hit the bullseye every time.

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris' communication is wonderful to our staff and to me as well. Moreover, their timeliness and follow-through are excellent. Our staff appreciates the layman's mentality they bring to the table to communicate with us.

Integris is always on time. If they use project management tools, they use them internally, so we don't have visibility. Still, they lay out a project plan for every project, and we have the opportunity to review it and agree on it. Overall, their on-time performance is excellent.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I would like to give a shout-out to Anita (Director of Strategic Solutions). She leads the portion of Integris' team that supports our projects.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Based on past experience, other service providers appear and act like they don't have time for us. We're a relatively small customer, so we're probably not a huge revenue generator. Therefore, other companies treat us as if we were a nuisance. However, Integris doesn't do that. They always treat us like we're very important and the only customer they have.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Something Integris could improve on is knowing us better as a customer. They're dealing with ministers, pastors, and children's workers who aren't steeped in technology and don't understand the terms. They're dealing with very simple users who need simple explanations on how to solve problems.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Firstly, look at Integris' past customers and background to understand where they came from, where they are today, and how they got there. Secondly, pay attention when you do a strategic plan review with them. That plan is very important and sets the direction for the upcoming projects, so you need to understand the roadmap and the strategic plan to ensure it's very well-thought-out. If you want to get the most value for your money, those are the two things you should focus on.

BACKGROUND

I'm the administrator of a healthcare clinic.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?
We needed managed IT services since we don't have an IT department.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
Integris attends to all of our IT needs, including buying and installing software and hardware, managing our network and hosting, and backing up data. The team also provides help desk services and does all of our IT work, providing off-site services.

What is the team composition?

I work with a lot of people there. I collaborate with a sales representative, a virtual CIO, their networking and security teams, and a group that helps us with day-to-day things. I regularly work with around 15 teammates.

How did you come to work with Integris?
Integris' engagement with my company precedes my time working here, and I don't know how we initially found them. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We've worked with Integris for more than 11 years since 2011, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We carefully monitor healthcare and have a lot of metrics to ensure that our information is kept highly confidential. Integris has done a great job of keeping our data secure. The team has conducted assessments to test our security when another company has tried to hack into our system. Integris also understands we can't have downtime because it means our patients don't get healthcare. Integris' team has a lot of good professionals. 

How did Integris perform from a project management standpoint?

Integris delivers work on time and is very responsive. I have never been unhappy with a request's outcome. Depending on the priority of my request, I can open a ticket via phone or email. If I have an urgent request, I call the team, and if it's something that can wait, I send an email. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Integris has done an excellent job in relationship management. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I let Integris know case by case when there is room for improvement, and the team has done a good job responding to my feedback. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

You can trust Integris to take care of your IT needs.

I'm the operations manager of NewDay Services for Children and Families.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Integris?

We needed support with keeping our cybersecurity, setting up new computers, and troubleshooting services. We used to manage our IT needs in-house but decided to seek support from an external provider. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?
