Stax Inc. is a 20 year old global strategy consulting firm. Stax provides clients with fact-based analyses and insights to help executives and their teams make critical business decisions. South Asia office also provides “brain-power” support to the US offices.
Problem statement
Stax South Asia office needed an expert IT support partner to help them transform their IT systems while replacing and managing their inefficient IT infrastructure and outdated connectivity solutions. The obsolete systems in Stax South Asia, coupled with slow and unreliable internet connections, were hindering their capabilities of delivering a premium service to their clients. Matters were made worse by the fact that they were experiencing serious issues with their IT support.
How the issue was impacting the client
Stax’s South Asia office supports the US operations with research, data analytics, data visualization and statistical support. They also provide a wide range of consultancy services. Because of the inefficient systems in place, Stax found it hard to effectively leverage their IT department to deliver customer centric results. This resulted in time and money being spent to solve IT related issues that consistently hindered the completion of their projects.
