UPSTACK helps a CFO with IT innovation to maintain a competitive edge

Summary

As a Chief Financial Officer, Nathan Davis holds a fiduciary responsibility of maximizing revenues and reducing unnecessary cost and risk. As a leading national manufacturer of pipe products for the waterworks industry, the company was celebrating 50 years of business and considered an innovative leader, with a reputation for high-quality products made in the USA. The company had arrived at a crucial inflection point.

The Approach and Services

UPSTACK’s primary focus was accelerating cloud adoption to reduce labor and equipment costs. Second, UPSTACK’s market intelligence assessment independently evaluated suitable vendors and solutions while keeping the client anonymous.

Services included:

• Cloud enablement – acceleration of services
• Solutions design and architecture validation
• Vendor due diligence
• Network, telephony, and conferencing
• Contact center as a service (CCaaS)

The Outcome

UPSTACK and the CFO worked together to create a consolidated operating model to streamline IT and shift labor resources away from commodity activities and toward strategic outcomes. UPSTACK also designed a better architecture to support their business, and the client’s reputation for superior customer service was maintained.
