APN Specialty Coatings, an Oshkosh-based industrial paints and coatings manufacturer, needed accessible on-site tech support, but many managed IT service providers only provided remote support. That’s when APN turned to Computer Corner for responsive, in-person support for its growing IT needs.
The APN team wanted to get a better understanding of their IT infrastructure. With multiple locations, it was hard to see the full picture of what technology was in place, as well as who had access and who was in charge of managing each piece of technology.
Using a thorough audit, our Computer Corner team created a robust inventory of APN’s current IT environment, which led to the creation of a continuous IT support and lifecycle management strategy to plan for hardware upgrades, as well as identified opportunities to consolidate and standardize technology investments.
Computer Corner facilitated APN’s ERP migration to ensure a secure move to the cloud, implemented Microsoft SharePoint and Teams for increased company communication and collaboration, and provided support for infrastructure change management.
For APN, success was measured through increased efficiency and productivity as a result of Computer Corner’s services. When APN’s multiple locations started using consistent software, it further enhanced productivity and engagement. In addition, managed services negotiations resulted in a more cost-effective structure, making IT spending more efficient and predictable.
“Computer Corner’s ability to grow with us and support multi-site operations was key. Their consultative approach aided in transitioning from per-service payments to a managed contract, providing fixed costs and budgeting certainty. This approach supported our growth, whether physical/geographic or business strategy-wise.”
