Manufacturing · Lee's Summit, MO · 145 employees

Cutting downtime by 78% with a hybrid Azure migration

Challenge

A second-generation precision-machining shop was running production scheduling on aging Hyper-V hosts in a closet. Two unplanned outages in 2023 cost an estimated $94,000 in lost production.

Approach

Anutech designed a hybrid Azure landing zone, migrated their ERP and file shares to a paired East/Central US region, and kept latency-sensitive workloads on a refreshed on-prem cluster. We documented every system in a runbook.

Results

78% reduction in unplanned downtime over 12 months
$72k saved in projected hardware spend over 3 years
RPO improved from 24 hours to 15 minutes
Successful disaster-recovery tabletop completed in Q1 2024

Healthcare · Overland Park, KS · 38 employees

Passing a HIPAA audit with zero findings

Challenge

A multi-specialty clinic faced an OCR-style audit triggered by a vendor breach. Their previous IT provider had never produced a written risk assessment, and MFA was inconsistent across providers.

Approach

We performed a full HIPAA risk assessment, deployed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, enforced Conditional Access with MFA on every account, segmented the medical-device VLAN and rewrote their security policies — all in 60 days.

Results

Zero findings on the subsequent audit
100% MFA enforcement across 38 staff and 11 providers
Average phishing-test failure rate dropped from 22% to 3%
Documented Business Associate Agreements for all 19 vendors

Legal · Downtown Kansas City, MO · 22 attorneys

Cutting IT spend 31% while doubling productivity

Challenge

A boutique litigation firm was paying three different vendors for email, document management and phones — with no one accountable when something broke. The managing partner described it as 'death by a thousand tickets.'

Approach

We consolidated email, file storage and Teams calling onto Microsoft 365, migrated to NetDocuments with proper matter-centric structure, and put everything under one managed services agreement with a single account engineer.

Results

31% reduction in total IT spend year-over-year
Average ticket resolution time: 4.2 hours → 38 minutes
Document retrieval time per matter cut roughly in half
100% partner satisfaction on the next-quarter survey
