CHALLENGES
RTD Financial’s MSP Struggles and Search for Change
RTD Financial sought a new IT solutions provider familiar with their industry and capable of providing both strategic and technical direction for the firm. Thus began the search for a new technology partner.
RTD Financial focused on improving their IT service experience – addressing lingering pain points such as unresolved support requests and delayed ticket response time. They sought a partner who could become intimately familiar with their specific environment, the needs of the financial sector, and solutions that decreased incident recurrence and user headache.
Familiar with Managed Service Providers from past IT partnerships, RTD Financial sought an MSP that understood the need for high availability, responsiveness, and adequate support. Skills that sat atop the list of expectations included effective communication, subject matter expertise, and industry knowledge. The goal was to align with a partner who allowed them to focus less on IT issues and far more on broadening their business.
