It begins with understanding the client requirements and current infrastructure, then planning and designing the implementation. Once reviewed and approved, the actual implementation occurs which includes setup and configuration of the O365 environment. Once configured, it is tested to verify the functionality and all results are captured for review. Once the testing is finalized, the environment is turned over to the client with knowledge transfers.

Server Host Refresh & Desktop Support for Manufacturing Firm
“I also appreciate that they treat you like their only customer, even when they have other clients.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the IT manager of a company that manufactures gloves and other custom moldable parts. We create some interesting niche-market items.
What challenge were you trying to address with Managed Solution?
I’m the sole IT manager of a multimillion-dollar business. I was managing various software platforms, custom applications, and hardware systems. We needed to keep us running 24/7 but doing it alone was becoming more and more difficult.
What was the scope of their involvement?
I approached Managed Solution for a complete server host refresh. I told them what server I wanted and some general requirements. They then went into planning and hardware acquisition, which was followed by a pre-configuration setup where they got the Hyper-V cluster hosts running.
Working both remotely and onsite, they poured over our data and converted everything from ESXI to Hyper-V. They prioritized minimizing downtime as much as possible.
What is the team composition?
I worked with around 6 different people at different points in the project. The team consisted of an account manager, project manager, and technicians.
How did you come to work with Managed Solution?
I also work as a professor at a university, where I heard some students saying that they were a good IT management company. I did some research and liked what they had to say. I chose them because they’re a Dell partner that has a no-nonsense attitude. I also liked that they were local to us; we didn’t want to risk an out-of-state provider in case we had an emergency requiring onsite support.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent somewhere around $64,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began the engagement in early February 2020 and wrapped up by the end of March, before the pandemic kicked in. It was a 60-day project.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I’d like to hold off on much of my feedback since I’m currently working on another project with them. That being said, the fact that I hired them again is indicative of their quality performance; they’ve done a great job so far. They were able to get us live in three weeks, which was fantastic.
I also appreciate that they treat you like their only customer, even when they have other clients. I always enjoy my phone calls with them.
How did Managed Solution perform from a project management standpoint?
They nailed that without a question. They were extremely responsive and timely in their execution. We were facing a strict deadline due to external circumstances, but they were able to meet it without a problem. We held weekly meetings.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re fantastic at general IT knowledge. Fortunately, the company lets their employees specialize so their employees are experts in different fields.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could improve their knowledge bases for their customers. So far, I’ve seen that what they’ve built isn’t really concise. Having said that, I’m anticipating their work to evolve over the years. We’ll have to see.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
It’s important to figure out what kind of IT model your company needs.
