Parisi House had long been dissatisfied with the service from their IT service provider. As a smaller customer, they often felt like a low priority compared to some of the provider's other clients, thanks to:
It was clear that Parisi House required a better resource. And since they were a nonprofit, they also needed a new provider that could make the most of a challenging budget.
We initially provided Parisi House with their multifunction printer (MFP). However, when our account person learned of their issues, Ricoh IT Services was called in to help find solutions that fit their needs and budget. We worked with their team to find an affordable pricing structure that provided the technology and services to keep their facility running smoothly.
Based off our findings, we implemented solutions that included:
And when cost issues forced Parisi House to postpone plans for a new backup server, we created an interim file backup process until they could afford a permanent solution.
To make up for the delays caused by their previous IT provider, we worked nights and weekends to stay on track and to avoid disrupting Parisi House’s work during the day.
Since slow response time was a major concern, we assigned a specific IT Services engineer to their account. And in the event he wasn’t available, we also conducted a detailed site survey so another engineer could help out.
To address their concerns, we held monthly meetings with the staff during the first three months of the contract, and quarterly reviews thereafter.
