An energy company operating across Canada and South America faced IT support challenges due to its wide geographical presence and limited internal staff, with only one main IT person handling both projects and support. To improve operations, a flexible retainer agreement was introduced, allowing scalable IT support aligned with changing needs. Initially focusing on specific projects and infrastructure, the agreement evolved into comprehensive infrastructure support. Eventually, the company adopted a Modern Workplace Partnership, providing a dedicated team for frontline services and co-managing infrastructure. This shift enhanced IT consistency, reduced reliance on a single individual, and allowed the IT manager to concentrate on strategic goals, establishing a resilient and scalable IT support system tailored for a mid-sized oil and gas client.
