The company has met the testing and electronic production supply needs of clients within the automotive, education, medical, aerospace and defense industries for more than 50 years. With an unwavering commitment to quality and customer service, the company has pursued modest growth that has accelerated in recent years with a series of acquisitions.
Insight was first introduced to the client to help it control print functions, costs and equipment across multiple locations with proactive service and supply management through our Managed Print Services offering. This formed the foundation of a trusted partner relationship.
In late 2019, the company presented us with an opportunity based on two factors:
The Insight team discussed options with the client and determined Microsoft® Azure® to be an ideal migration target for all 17 workloads running in the physical data center. Our technical experts and consultants worked with the company to build the Azure environment and perform a secure and seamless cutover from the data center to the cloud — in less than a month’s time.
Over time, and throughout the company’s recent acquisitions, the client has also worked with Insight to simplify purchasing and deployment of workplace devices.
The client proposed the idea of having Insight build a modern data warehouse in a matter of weeks. From start to finish, the Insight team was able to deliver in fewer than eight weeks.
Our work involved:
Each of Insight’s solution areas have demonstrated their capabilities individually and as an integrated answer to the client’s top challenges.
From our first call discussing the client’s data center move, Insight brought every relevant resource to the table to join in on listening to the client’s needs and sharing what Insight’s approach would be given the requirements and timeline. By working in a collaborative and client-focused way, we’ve been extremely successful in meeting a wide variety of the client’s needs, quickly and creatively.
Potential upcoming projects together include those around compliance (PCI and NIST), Device as a Service (DaaS), Insight Managed Office and Insight Cloud Care.
