Written By Matthew Swallop

📍 About the Client

A growing mid-sized organization within Maryland was looking for a trusted partner to manage their increasing IT needs. In 2015, they began working with 1-UP IT Consulting, based in Frederick, MD, seeking expert support and reliable service for their day-to-day technology operations.

🛠 The Challenge

Before partnering with 1-UP, the client handled IT with a mix of internal resources and reactive third-party support. As the organization expanded, they faced:

  • Inconsistent IT performance

  • Security vulnerabilities

  • Increasing downtime and user frustration

  • A lack of long-term IT strategy

  • Growing IT costs

They needed a proactive solution that could scale with their business and provide peace of mind.

💡 The Solution: Managed IT Services by 1-UP

The client made the strategic decision to move forward with 1-UP IT Consulting as their Managed Service Provider (MSP).

Services Provided:

  • 24/7 network monitoring

  • User support & help desk

  • Cybersecurity threat management

  • System patching & updates

  • Cloud backup & disaster recovery

  • Strategic IT planning

  • One call to make for all IT needs

This full-service model gave the client confidence that their IT was not just functional—but secure, scalable, aligned with their business goals, and at a predictable cost.

  • Increased Efficiency: Downtime dropped significantly, and IT issues were resolved faster than ever.

  • Stronger Cybersecurity: 1-UP implemented layers of protection to safeguard data and systems.
