Challenge
A retail furniture and home appliance store was dissatisfied with their managed services provider. They submitted helpdesk tickets and wouldn't receive assistance for weeks, causing significant delays and backlogs issues for the organization. Frustrated by the lack of service and poor response, they began searching for a new managed service solution.
New Era Technology worked with this company in the past to support Dynamics 365 and facilitate their transition to Azure. When they needed support for their immediate transactional IT needs, they reached out to collaborate again.
