Overview

A rapidly growing, publicly traded biotechnology company needed secure, reliable IT end-user support across research, corporate, and executive teams while meeting strict security and compliance requirements. During rapid growth, onboarding and offboarding volume increased, endpoint security and patch compliance needed tighter control, and white-glove support was difficult to scale with consistent service levels. After implementing PTP’s UserOps, the company achieved consistently high end-user satisfaction, 98%+ SLA response, 99%+ SLA resolution, a 20% improvement in Cynomi-reported Security Risk Score, and 15% faster onboarding and offboarding.

The Challenge

This biotechnology company needed an IT partner that could scale with their growth while meeting strict security, compliance, and service expectations.

Key challenges included:

  • Maintaining endpoint security, patch compliance, and audit readiness
  • Handling frequent onboarding and offboarding during growth phases
  • Managing SaaS access and Microsoft 365 licensing efficiently
  • Providing onsite, white-glove support while meeting strict SLAs

They required a Managed Service Provider (MSP) that could operate as a seamless extension of their internal IT organization.

PTP implemented UserOps services designed to support high-growth, regulated environments.
