Company Profile:

Our client provides quality adoption services to birth parents and adoptive parents nationwide. Their caring staff is dedicated to guiding clients through the adoption process with integrity and complete support.

The adoption services organization helps pregnant women through crises while assisting soon-to-be parents in achieving their ultimate goal to adopt a child.

Our client offers the following services to adoptive parents:

  • Adoption services to help them legally adopt a newborn baby.
  • Outreach to birth mothers to quickly present soon-to-be parents with an adoption opportunity.
  • Law services for complete protection and peace of mind.

Challenge:

Since the adoption services organization is continuing to grow, data storage, security, and network availability are critical. Reggie Gonzalez, Chief Technical Officer for SwiftTech Solutions, stated, “In the situation of [our client], you are dealing with children’s lives; we simply cannot risk any security breach or system downtime.”

During their recent period of strategic growth, our client experienced growing pains with their IT infrastructure. As their office footprint, staff, customer base, web services, and transaction volume grew, their storage environment could no longer meet the needs of the organization. Our client's internal IT department was overwhelmed with satisfying day to day needs, which consisted of implementing and managing the full technology front end of the business. Therefore, they were unable to focus on strategic infrastructure projects. They needed a strategic IT partner to continue system maintenance, desktop support, and emergencies. They partnered with SwiftTech Solutions.
