Typical scenario · Architecture

An architecture firm loses its IT person overnight

The outside contractor who handles all of the firm’s IT disappears from one day to the next. The passwords, the email server and the backups are in that contractor’s hands alone.

  • 5–10employees
  • Bucharesta single office
  • 5RezolvIT services

The situation

What’s the starting point?

For years, the firm has worked with a single outside contractor, who set up everything: the email server, the network, the plotter for drawings. When the contractor stops answering the phone, nobody at the firm knows where the passwords are or what each device does.

  • Email runs on an old server in the office, and syncing to phones has stopped working.
  • Only the former contractor has the administrator passwords and the domain account.
  • Projects are saved to an external hard drive that gets plugged in now and then. Nobody has ever tried to restore anything from it.
  • The owner worries about a cyberattack through a system nobody updates anymore.

What we do

How we work, step by step

The same team coordinates every stage, with a single phone number for the company.

  1. A takeover plan within 24 hours

    We draw up a written plan and recover access: the domain, the router, the server and the accounts. Then we change every password, so nothing depends on a single person anymore.

  2. Audit and inventory

    We record every computer, license and subscription, to see what the firm pays for and what it actually uses.

  3. Email moved to Microsoft 365

    We move the mailboxes and the old archive outside working hours, so the firm works normally the next day. Email and contacts show up on every device.

  4. Automatic, tested backups

    Projects and email are backed up every day, off site. We regularly check that the data can be restored, not just that it was copied.

  5. IT maintenance on a plan

    The computers get regular updates and checks, and the architects call a single number when they have a problem.

The result

What changes for the company?

After the project, IT moves to a monthly plan, with a monthly report and a contact person who knows the company.

  • The firm no longer depends on one person: the access credentials and the documentation are kept by the firm and by us.
  • Email no longer lives on an old server in the office.
  • Projects have an off-site copy, and restoring it is tested.
  • IT costs a fixed monthly fee, known in advance.
