Case Study

Challenges

The first step was finding a new reliable and responsive Managed IT services that could support future growth and transformation.

 

Solution

 

Following an internal review and strategic planning aligned with their five-year ambition, MDFA identified the need for a new Managed IT service provider.

“I wanted more than just a service provider, I was looking for a business partner. It was clear from the start that Myrtec could be that for us. Their team feels like an extension of ours. They are always friendly, capable, and nothing is ever too much trouble.”
