Fractional CIO Reduces IT Costs by $200K for  Consulting Firm

The Challenge: Downsizing Without Compromising Efficiency

As a result of COVID-19, a Fortune 100 consulting firm faced an urgent reality: they had to swiftly downsize from 400 employees to 35. The imperative was to cut costs and streamline workflows, but their outdated, expensive IT systems stood in the way. Inefficient remote access and a reliance on physical servers frustrated staff, slowed productivity and drained resources they could no longer afford.

A Modern Workplace with Fractional CIO Leadership

When their leadership turned to us for help, our Fractional CIO led a complete IT transformation. We transitioned them to a modern workplace, streamlining workflows, eliminating remote access issues, reducing overhead costs of maintaining physical servers and slashing other IT costs. The impact was immediate:

• Downsized office space from 400 to 10 people

• Reduced IT costs by over $200,000 annually

• Successfully replicated these results in their European location, allowing leadership to consolidate duplicate roles

The leadership's courage to embrace change, even without knowing all the answers or end goals, paved the way for their business transformation. Their trust in us led to a more efficient, scalable and secure operation, proving that the right IT strategy can turn a crisis into an opportunity for growth.
