Case studies

When the decision gets complex, the operating model matters.

These published examples show how Sidekick IT helps internal teams standardize, integrate, consolidate and move forward with more control.

Physical Security Company

Standardizing technology after rapid acquisition

Rapid growth had created shadow IT, inconsistent technology and security gaps. Sidekick IT helped the CIO audit acquired companies, define uniform technology and security controls, select delivery partners and establish a flexible single operating model.

Residential Services Company

A technology foundation built for growth

An acquisitive services platform needed to standardize a scattered environment without overloading a lean IT staff. Sidekick IT helped establish hardware standards, source recurring cloud and software services, and access specialist expertise across the stack.

Global SaaS Company

Repeatable integration for a fast-moving acquirer

With 5-6 software acquisitions each year, the integration team needed a predictable model. Sidekick IT analyzed inherited environments, defined standard network and security hardware, and supplied consulting and staff augmentation to accelerate integration.

Partner case study

Consolidating security tools and lowering MDR cost by about 60%.

A leading media and technology services company turned to Sidekick IT and AVANT when it needed a new managed detection and response provider. The work centered on consolidating tools, maximizing Microsoft E5 and improving protection across key risk points.

The published case reports an approximately 60% reduction in MDR costs after the team selected eSentire and aligned the solution with the customer’s Microsoft strategy.
