Customer: A vertically-integrated, multi-state Cannabis operator in North America Profile: The client plans to become the most important company in the cannabis industry by combining the most strategic geographic footprint with one of the leading distribution platforms in North America.
Industry: Consumer Goods
Services: Managed IT Services

Business Challenges

Being a part of a highly regulated industry, this multi-state, vertically integrated cannabis operator was struggling to respond to volatile changes in the market. Although a small managed IT services provider was supporting their environment, all it could do was keep the lights on. The client needed to focus on growing their business and did not have the IT Infrastructure, technical expertise, or partner to grow and scale at the necessary pace. The client was looking for an experienced IT Services provider who could single-handedly manage their IT ecosystem, ensure high availability of platforms and systems, and, most importantly, ensure that technology would not slow their exponential growth.

Synoptek’s Solution

As an experienced and proficient Managed Services Provider, Synoptek completely transformed the client’s IT environment and enabled technology as a driver for growth and success. In addition to managing all their IT platforms – including operating systems and applications within the O365 stack – Synoptek also provided a dedicated, 24×7 Service Desk facility supporting all locations within the US. In addition, we implemented a unique instance of a ticketing platform leveraging Synoptek’s Consulting arm and delivered ongoing IT Management and Support Services – so the client could focus on growing the business and not worry about the day-to-day hassles of complex IT management.

Services Provided

A complete suite of ITaaS including End-to-end IT Management and Support, Application Support, Service Desk Support, and ITSM Ticketing Platform Implementation.
