A diversified organization supporting 175+ end users across multiple portfolio companies needed a turnkey Managed Service Provider to operate like an internal IT team under the CIO, with high satisfaction and consistent security across onsite and remote staff. PTP delivered Tier 1–3 white-glove desktop support for Windows and macOS, proactive endpoint management and patch compliance, standardized onboarding and offboarding, and centralized Microsoft 365 license and SaaS support.
