Baron Drawn Steel
Situation: A declining economy led a cold-finished bar processing, Baron Drawn Steel, into a search for more ways to save dollars. The company was heavily dependent on their IT department to keep business flowing smoothly; they never considered cuts in that area as a possible solution.
Resolution: Rather than continue supporting technology needs with in-house staff, Baron hired The I.T. Management Group to take over. The I.T. Management Group in turn acquired the existing IT employees that were on site at Baron. Following a training and transition period, The I.T. Management Group put their newly acquired employees right back on the Baron site to serve as IT support. Since the employees already understood the practices of Baron, it was effective to have individuals in the IT department with a thorough knowledge of the steel business. Because The I.T. Management Group worked closely inside the internal structures of Baron, they were able to provide services that may not have been identifiable by an outside source.
Today: Today, The I.T. Management Group continues to provide IT Management and Services to Baron Steel. Baron uses a warehouse management system that was tailor-made for them by The I.T. Management Group. This system reduces the amount of work that the shipping department has to complete, provides flexibility to the crew on the warehouse floor, and leaves Baron confident that in the event of a system error, the seasoned professionals in the IT department will address the situation with speed and efficiency. Through the efforts of The I.T. Management Group, Baron has reduced its overall IT department costs by over 50%.

Dynalectric of Ohio (Dyna)
Situation: The subsidiary of a Fortune 500 Company, Dynalectric of Ohio (Dyna) needed to maintain cost effective and professional standards in its IT department. Previously staffed by a full-time IT technician who remained on-site, Dyna made the decision to outsource its IT needs.
Resolution: Dyna’s IT services were turned over to The I.T. Management Group. The I.T. Management Group took immediate action to hone department productivity, and designed an important system to track Dyna’s tools and assets in the field. This custom designed system saved Dyna $15,000, because they did not have to purchase the existing industry-standard system. Since The I.T. Management Group is local and provides on-site services, Dyna was able to free itself and focus more on important revenue generating factors in their business.
Today: Overall, Dyna has seen a 28% drop in total IT costs. Due to the computer-asset inventory process, as well as a network access paper trail implemented by The I.T. Management Group, Dyna now experiences excellent results from its IT audits.

A Non-Profit Organization
Situation: Lack of quality service from part-time IT support staff led a large non-profit organization in the Midwest to the drawing board with The I.T. Management Group. The organization was dedicated to channeling as much money as possible to their primary mission, and was hesitant about spending excessive dollars on operational expenses.
Resolution: The I.T. Management Group evaluated the needs and expenses of the non-profit organization. A more effective IT plan was implemented which helped to stabilize the technical infrastructure within. The organization saved $650 monthly in web hosting fees by applying The I.T. Management Group’s new website design and recommendation for a new web host. Leaders inside the organization found themselves more capable of focusing energy on the goals of the primary mission.
Today: The I.T. Management Group continues to work both on-site and remotely in order to support the technology needs of the organization. Project management as well as maintenance of equipment are the primary services The I.T. Management Group provides to the organization.
