The Challenge
A 75-person international education nonprofit was spending $180,000 annually on aging on-premises servers across 3 offices, with no centralized IT management. Field staff in 8 countries had no secure way to access organizational systems, and multiple data loss incidents had occurred due to inconsistent backups.
Our Solution
CloudTechForce migrated all infrastructure to Microsoft 365 and Azure, deployed Intune for device management across all global staff, implemented Azure Virtual Desktop for secure remote access, established managed backup with Azure Backup, and set up 24/7 monitoring with a dedicated help desk — all at nonprofit-discounted licensing through our Microsoft CSP program.
Results
55% reduction in annual IT costs ($180K to $81K)
100% of staff connected securely from 8 countries
Zero data loss incidents (previously 3 per year)
Microsoft nonprofit licensing saved $42K annually
Full IT management with 4-hour response SLA
"As a nonprofit, every dollar matters. CloudTechForce gave us enterprise IT at nonprofit pricing. Our field teams in Africa and Southeast Asia now have the same secure access as our US headquarters — something we thought was years away."
Maria Santos — Executive Director, Global Education Foundation
