![Unilever-FCU_Logo_300px](https://www.cbts.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Unilever-FCU_Logo_300px.png.webp)
Unilever Federal Credit Union (FCU) is a full-service, single-sponsor, non-profit financial institution. The credit union is member-owned and has a member-elected board of directors.
Problem
With their talented but often overtaxed IT staff, Unilever FCU needed an alternative option to deploy and maintain secure network infrastructure, a high-availability production environment, and data protection for backup and disaster recovery.
CBTS solution
CBTS assessed Unilever FCU’s current environment and proposed a fully managed hybrid data center and network solution. CBTS designed a high-availability cloud for production, data protection services for backup and disaster recovery, and managed services for remote network monitoring and management.
Outcome
Unilever FCU’s continued growth comes from leveraging a due diligence framework and all the supporting documentation as the foundation for addressing credit union compliance and regulatory standards. “With CBTS, the attention to detail really stood out to us,” said Jim Kopfensteiner, CEO of Unilever FCU. “They were able to advise us on many topics, from real-time input during auditor exams to IT information security policies.”
![Family-Owned-Greenhouse_Logo_300px_case_study](https://www.cbts.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Family-Owned-Greenhouse_Logo_300px_case_study.png.webp)
A leading family-owned greenhouse producer in business for over 60 years, this client has become 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 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 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-FCU_Logo_300px_case_study](https://www.cbts.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Deepwater-FCU_Logo_300px_case_study.png.webp)
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
CBTS created a holistic solution that included migrating IT operations to a secure CBTS cloud environment, including their core processing application running on IBM Power Systems. Additionally, we created an offsite backup system up to a secondary location to address regulatory requirements and implemented an active directory to improve security, data protection, and compliance. Enterprise-class backups and antivirus-strengthened security posture along with network and firewalls provided and managed by CBTS at the data center and branch locations rounded out our solution.
Outcome
Deepwater’s IT staff is no longer wasting resources and time 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.
