Customer Success Story
Empowering Growth and Excellence: The Cloud Solution That Let a Boutique Consultancy Focus on Clients, Not IT Hassles.
We partnered with a fast-growing consulting firm seeking to set themselves up for success with their growing team. Growing from 3-strong to 10+, the team wanted the right tools to coordinate projects across the team.
Challenge
Having started lean, and operating independently, the team found that their way of working created information silos, and made it difficult to track project progress or measure team performance.
The team reached out to SVTech to guide them through a structured selection process for the right suite for their use case, and develop custom dashboards to measure employee productivity, growing business costs, and resource usage.
Solution
The SVTech team dove deep into the company’s operations, upskilled, and guided the founders through the different suite services, enabling them to make a well-informed decision on their solution.
We migrated resources onto the platform, provisioned access for different team members, and onboarded all team members with knowledge transfer and enablement sessions, building reusable content to support onboarding as the customer scaled.
To measure productivity, costs, and resource usage, we developed dashboards integrated with the customers’ workspace environment, providing real-time visibility into project milestones, resource allocations, team communications, and costs of resources used.
Results
The customer achieved streamlined and centralized collaboration across teams and devices. Teams were provisioned varying levels of access, enabling managers to conduct real-time tracking of project KPIs and workload, while ensuring security at all levels.
With integrated analytics, teams could arm themselves with actionable insights for enhanced decision making. As the business grew, they were able to integrate more services to support their workloads.
By combining the right productivity suite with tailored solutions, SVTech enabled the client to focus on growth and client service-turning technology into a true business enabler.
