Success Stories

Our client’s success in meeting their goals is our most important objective.

Simultaneous IT Upgrade and Physical Relocation

Simultaneous IT Upgrade and Physical Relocation

Trillium simultaneously coordinated a production upgrade and infrastructure relocation for a leading retail technology company. This client provides retailers with in-store customer behavior tracking devices. To improve its services, the client embarked on a major system upgrade. At the same time, it scheduled a relocation of its physical IT infrastructure. The company planned to move its development server, new Oracle portal server and primary backup server to one locations, while other servers would be moved to the client’s new office space.

Even a typical technology infrastructure transition is an exhaustive test of an IT organization’s ability to re-establish its computing services to a new location with minimal impact to business operations. The client acknowledged that its project was far too complex for its internal resources to handle, so management called Trillium.

How We Solved It

Trillium employed its IT Transitions® methodology to reduce downtime and ensure business continuity during the move

Results

  • Reduced system downtime from a planned 48 hours to just 4 hours
  • Mitigated risk through Trillium’s hour- by-hour planning and communication
  • Streamlined move to new VOIP phone system for a 20 percent cost reduction

Managing Intellectual Assets

Managing Intellectual Assets

For this full-service U.S. venture capital firm on the West Coast, our challenge was to protect the firm’s competitive edge by capturing the intellectual capital generated by its IT staff. Like other knowledge-based businesses, the firm’s greatest asset is the human intellectual capital in its IT department – long-term employees whose experience with internal IT projects was filed away in disparate systems and networks across the company.

“Our assets walk out the door every night,” says a senior executive at the firm. “While our employees’ knowledge gives our company an incredible competitive advantage, we could lose that advantage quickly if key employees quit or were somehow incapacitated. It’s impossible to fully replicate a person’s insight and experience.”

How We Solved It

Trillium developed an IT knowledge management system to capture intellectual assets, provide business continuity, and standardize IT integration strategies

Results

  • Productivity boost with easier access to the firm’s IT knowledge base
  • Mitigated risk with a formal disaster recovery and business continuity plan
  • Standardized IT integration strategies and staffing to support rapid company growth
