A national apartment developer and property management firm needed a cost-predictable and efficient way to protect their Microsoft environment.

IT leadership wanted ready-access to data for KPIs like end user adoption and license utilization. IT staff wanted a new way to keep their environment healthy and stable. Both groups wanted to drive return on their Microsoft investments and find innovative ways to optimize their workloads.

So, they turned to Blue Chip.

Leveraging previous knowledge of firm's Microsoft environment, and requirements gathered from the firm, Blue Chip developed an operational support solution that was tailor-made for their business.

Through Blue Chip's Managed Services team, Blue Chip would provide the firm with full operational support for their Microsoft workloads. This would allow the firm's technical team to focus on strategic project and business initiatives, not day-to-day IT services. This service model would also be delivered in a fixed-price manner, giving the firm cost predictability.

Today, Blue Chip provides proactive monitoring, maintenance, and support for the firm's Microsoft workloads.

Blue Chip's team of Microsoft-certified consultant manage multiple environments and technologies across multiple services lines including application services, datacenter, and security. Through a number of tools and dashboards, Blue Chip does everything from manage endpoint protection to Office 365 utilization.

But it does not stop there.

As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, Blue Chip acts as the firm's licensing advisor, providing Microsoft subscriptions and ongoing licensing optimization services. Through reporting and quarterly reviews, Blue Chip ensures that the firm right-sizes their licenses and that end users experience full adoption and utilization.

Additionally, Blue Chip provides operational enhancement services, helping the firm deploy new Microsoft technology and complete small projects. Whether it's enabling Advanced Threat Protection or implementing automation, Blue Chip ensures the firm is maximizing their investment in Microsoft.
