The Challenge
When Velocigo took over IT support for an Oklahoma City–area distribution company serving customers across a multi-state region, the technology environment was working against the business. A room full of on-premises servers included an end-of-life Exchange email server, backups were unreliable, and security protections fell short of what a modern distribution operation requires. Worst of all, downtime was a recurring problem — a serious liability for a company whose warehouse, delivery fleet, and ERP-driven order processing depend on systems being available every business day.
The Approach
Velocigo started where it matters most: the people. During the first year, our team focused on responsive, reliable support for every end user, transforming the perception of IT from a source of frustration into a dependable resource.
With trust established, we methodically modernized the environment:
Eliminated unnecessary servers and retired aging on-premises hardware.
Migrated email to Microsoft 365, replacing the end-of-life Exchange server.
Moved remaining server workloads to the cloud, removing the risk and cost of on-premises infrastructure.
Guided SQL Server upgrades supporting the company’s core ERP system — protecting the heart of their distribution operations and positioning them for business intelligence success.
Implemented vMASS, Velocigo’s security framework, hardening the environment against ransomware and business email compromise.
Every migration was scheduled on nights and weekends, and the entire modernization was completed without business downtime. Just as importantly, nearly all of this work was delivered under the standard managed services agreement — no hefty project fees.
The Results
28% reduction in licensing expenses.
Zero downtime throughout the entire migration and modernization effort.
No security incidents in over 24 months since implementing vMASS.
Modern, cloud-based infrastructure with reliable backups and an upgraded ERP database platform ready for business intelligence and reporting.
Three years into the partnership, this distributor’s IT is no longer a source of risk — it’s a foundation for growth. Explore our managed IT services and managed IT services in Oklahoma City.
