A leading, family-owned greenhouse producer in business for over 60 years and one of North America’s largest greenhouse vegetable companies.
Problem
This greenhouse produce company partnered with a small technology service provider and recognized they needed more help to keep up with growth. The client required a team with more flexibility, better responsiveness, and the breadth of capabilities to meet the demands of their ever-expanding market.
CBTS solution
The CBTS team listened to the client’s business challenges and presented a plan based on the client’s requests. Additionally, the team introduced the greenhouse producer to CBTS security, communications, and professional services the client had yet to consider. The client recognized that CBTS had the value and expertise to be a trusted partner for all their information technology needs. CBTS presented a plan that included:
• A private, dedicated cloud in a CBTS data center facility.
• Managed offsite data backup.
• Secondary mirrored site for managed disaster recovery.
• Network terminal services.
• Full security information and event management (SIEM) solutions.
Outcome
From consulting through implementation to ongoing optimization, CBTS managed the transition from a legacy model to a new, efficient, cloud-enabled solution that helped the company achieve its business goals.
Deepwater Industries Federal Credit Union serves 9,000 members working for more than 125 companies and organizations near the community along the Delaware River in western New Jersey.
Problem
The company needed a single, end-to-end IT provider to implement, manage, and monitor its systems.
CBTS solution
• Migrated IT operations to a secure CBTS cloud environment, including their core processing application running on IBM Power Systems.
• Offsite data backed up to a secondary location to address regulatory requirements.
• Implemented active directory to improve security, data protection, and compliance.
• Enterprise-class backups and antivirus strengthened security posture.
• Network and firewalls provided and managed by CBTS at the data center and branch locations.
Outcome
Deepwater’s IT staff isn’t tied up patching infrastructure software and managing hardware. Built-in security and compliance solutions address regulatory standards and requirements for protecting data. Switching from CapEx to OpEx reduces costs and gives the credit union a predictable monthly fee. Now, it’s easier for Deepwater to expand into new markets and enroll new members.
“We’ve worked on implementations of a lot of different services in three years, and this one with CBTS was by far the most professionally done. The project manager was right there on top of things every step of the way and was a great resource throughout.”
Ida Bowen, CEO and President, Deepwater Industries Federal Credit Union
