Innovative Solutions
Office1 managed the nonprofit’s copier fleet in San Diego for years. During this time, the nonprofit faced issues with outdated, sluggish, donated computers, causing operational delays. Despite utilizing a discounted IT service for non-profits, modern solutions weren't provided. The systems the online IT service was providing were outdated and unable to function as intended. These antiquated systems forced the nonprofit to invest more resources into something that was hindering their work and not meeting operational standards.
Key Initiatives
- Update to entire IT stack including wireless access, firewalls, and switches
- Proactive maintenance and monitoring of patches, software, and hardware issues from Office1’s remote help desk to ensure uptime
- Hassle-free, immutable, and off-site data backups
- A cohesive and constant cybersecurity strategy
- IT consultation
- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for video calls
- Supplies management
- Concierge-level service, with Office1 driving the project from start to finish
- Responsive customer service available to the entire team

They will truly give you peace of mind when it comes to your technology and that allows for your day-to-day operations to ultimately run better.”
“Office1’s technical support and leadership team have always quickly and diligently responded to our tech concerns, malfunctions, and requests.”
Affordable, Robust IT Services
Office1 equipped the nonprofit with new computers designed to operate on the latest systems and ensure the rigors of daily use. This upgrade proved highly successful, prompting them to bring Office1 on board as their full-time managed service provider.
Office1 diligently assessed the nonprofit’s IT situation and implemented necessary updates to the IT infrastructure including a robust cybersecurity strategy. Moreover, the integration of a better equipped video calling system significantly enhanced connectivity for employees situated in Central and South America and streamlined workflow for the team. Office1 also continues to maintain management of printers, copiers, scanners, and fax machines while bolstering network security against potential breaches or cyber-attacks.
