The Challenge
Visual Edge had an on-prem Exchange server that served about 175 users. Due to its age and the liability of maintaining it, it had to be retired. The company started a hosted Office 365 push back in October of 2018 and went through an extensive discovery given the scope of the project.
The client first learned of TPx through a referral, who also had a very positive experience. TPx’s specialist scheduled a discovery call. Visual Edge included all of its engineers on the call from the very beginning. They decided to deploy one location and 175 licenses as a proving ground, but signed an MSA on 1,100 more. Step by step, they talked about pain points and they discovered not only that TPx could assist in the long-term objectives of consolidating the numerous versions of Exchange, but they found a cultural alignment as well.
The Solution
The TPx implementation team took over and handled the entire setup, migration, and go-live event.
“I can’t speak highly enough of this team,” says John Sedlak, IT director for Visual Edge Technology. “They did a great job with project planning and handling all the complexities of our migration. They were very patient with us and always came up with a solution to any problem that popped up. Our experience with TPx has been wonderful so far. The people there know their stuff and take good care of their customers. For these reasons, I have decided to migrate several other of our operating companies to O365 through TPx. In the end, we should have 1,300 users in our portal, and I have all the confidence that TPx will make it easy.”
