Real Estate Investment Firm Achieves Vision Through Infrastructure Optimization

Category: IT Management, Enterprise Applications

Tags: it department, infrastructure, management

Overview Guardian Management LLC had a clear vision for its business: shift its emphasis from real estate management to real estate investment, expand throughout more of the western United States, and do so without adding employees. But Guardian's technology infrastructure didn't support these goals. So, the company embarked on a comprehensive infrastructure optimization. Decentralized systems have been centralized; standard technologies and practices have been deployed; and new solutions have been introduced for collaboration. The infrastructure is more available and reliable - and the IT department saves 40 hours per month in maintenance time, which it invests in designing and deploying solutions that fuel continued business growth.
