    How tca SynerTech helped a local non-profit organization

    About the Non-Profit Organization

    This non-profit organization provides beds to at-risk families across Southwest Michigan. They support families as they look for stable housing and connect their children with teachers to help build their skills.

    The non-profit uses IT to operate their services as well as connect with those at risk of homelessness.

    The Challenges

    The non-profit office was struggling to keep their IT, and as a result, their office operational. There was a complete lack of cybersecurity, leaving the non-profit vulnerable to a potentially devastating attack.

    They did not have a dedicated IT person, instead that role was being filled by someone with basic computer knowledge. That individual was becoming overwhelmed with the regular IT issues in addition to their full-time position at the organization.

    IT issues such as:

    • Unreliable internet service that went down frequently, including during bad weather
    • Unreliable phone service
    • Network outages
    • Wi-Fi instability
    • Computers running old or unsupported operating systems
    The Solution

    The non-profit organization engaged tca SynerTech to solve their issues, update their IT, establish cybersecurity, and ultimately keep them operational to serve the community effectively.

    TCA worked within their budget and updated the IT, including:

    • Installed a dedicated fiber internet connection
    • Unified communications using the Microsoft Teams platform
    • Installed new, reliable Teams phones
    • Installed a new network infrastructure that is secure, easy to use, and quick to update
    • Updated computers to work with new system
    • Installed new cybersecurity – firewall, antivirus, and consistent security structure on all machines
    Benefits and Outcomes

    The non-profit now has a secure, reliable, and up-to-date network. The many benefits include:

    • Reliable internet service
    • Reliable phone service with increased capability
    • 50%+ cost savings on phone service
    • Cybersecurity to help prevent an attack
    • Unlimited tech support
    • Time they can now dedicated to serving the community rather than IT issues
