Challenge

The client hoped for a solution to include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Security, without the need for onsite database-specific experts or hardware management. Their outdated equipment was creating many challenges for the organization and was costing them both time and money.

ARG recommended a company with one of the highest customer satisfaction rates, and the client was extremely satisfied with the results.
