Tasks
The company approached us to replace the full-time IT department and outsource the IT infrastructure. The second time the company approached us again after a year-and-a-half pause. Newly hired full-time specialists could not ensure uninterrupted operation of production as the server worked slowly, and 1C and shipments stopped working.
Outcome
We provide IT services for the entire company: the main office, main production facilities (2 large factories in Almaty), oil and fat plant, all branches in 17 regions, the entire network, server and mail infrastructure; messaging and folder exchange and 1C with the help of our partner, Avitim company. We provide support for about 500 users.

Tasks
The entire infrastructure went down when their full-time IT specialist wanted to do server mirroring. As a result, they lost half of their data including all backups. Production stopped for 200 users. They contacted us to help restore servers and IT infrastructure.
Outcome
First of all, we tried to recover the data, and sent the hard drives to Moscow for recovery. They couldn’t recover the data, but within 2 days we reinstated the servers and the accounting system from scratch and their shipment started again (it was the biggest task and we completed it only in a day and a half). We examined the entire server infrastructure from scratch and configured it to be fault-tolerant. We hired their former IT specialist and trained him. After that he joined Imstalcon.

Production company
Years of cooperation
Since 2017 to date
Tasks
It’s a huge holding that has 4.5 thousand employees. It consists of several factories, and construction and assembly companies. We managed to help them in a difficult economic situation when their IT infrastructure got stuck in the late 90s and there were no servers, a unified accounting system, standards and modern computer technologies. We had to help them catch up with modern IT state of art.
Outcome
In 4 months we took over the management, and in 3 months we introduced a single infrastructure to the head office with unified OS, software, mail client and file hosting. Over the next year, we built a server infrastructure so that the accounting system was placed on a single server owned by Imstalcon. We restored all their data (they used to be owned by the company serving the holding on 1C), so now the head office is a modern business with a modern infrastructure, and the data is under the control of the company, and properly secured. Now we are engaged in servicing servers; the company also has hired its own IT specialists. In order for us to modernize their infrastructure, we took over 1C maintenance (this task took a whole year). The most important achievement is that the company now doesn’t depend on any subcontractor.

At the time company had 900 users. Their CIO asked us to help build the IT infrastructure. At first, 2 outstaffers were provided. Then we added 2 more users instead of the regular ones. As a result, the entire IT staff (server and network specialists) left and we replaced them with 10 ITSG specialists.
Outcome
We introduced unified standards for computers, changed the fleet of computers, and implemented a project on moving to a new unified standard with all-in-one computers and Office 365 as well. We were able to provide work without purchasing new servers. We served both the head office and the plant in Aksengir. Over the years of cooperation, we introduced a unified registration system for accepting request, and reduced the number of requests from thousands per month to several hundred. We conduct the survey on satisfaction with the work of IT department, and the satisfaction level went from 1.5 to 4.1 points. Even after we have ended the cooperation, some of their employees continue to contact us.
