Challenges
Spring Footwear, back in 2008, was operating with a single, antiquated IBM server - the cornerstone of their IT infrastructure. This precarious setup was a disaster waiting to happen, and it did. A catastrophic motherboard failure plunged their operations into potential chaos, threatening severe data loss and significant operational downtime, a nightmare for any growing business.
Solution
Tech Group's Backup and Business Continuity services paid off immediately. Within an hour of the server crash, we had Spring Footwear back up and running, avoiding a major crisis. As Spring Footwear grew to a $50M/year enterprise business with over 100 employees, our role evolved from emergency responders to strategic IT partners. We scaled our services in tandem with their growth, ensuring seamless operations.
Another test came in 2020 with the start of the pandemic. Almost overnight, Spring Footwear had to transition 90% of its workforce to work to home. Tech Group worked tirelessly to deploy a secure and efficient work-from-home solution. We didn't just keep their business running; we ensured it thrived by integrating state-of-the-art cloud solutions, setting a new industry standard for remote work.
