When Springfield Mechanical Services set out to transition from G Suite to Microsoft 365, they knew it wasn't going to be a simple switch. With a growing workforce and a heavy reliance on mobile access, the IT team needed a partner to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and build internal capability.  

They turned to Mobile Mentor to guide them through a complex transformation, and to equip their team with lasting knowledge through the Mentoring Service.

The Challenge

Springfield Mechanical was facing several pressing IT challenges:

  • Password fatigue among users and a strong desire for SSO (Single Sign-On) 

  • Overreliance on G Suite, which no longer aligned with their strategic direction

  • A desire to implement Intune to manage all endpoints centrally 

  • A workforce with varying levels of technical proficiency

  • A high volume of users and mobile devices needing to be migrated carefully

They needed a structured, low-risk path forward and a partner who could provide more than a lift-and-shift migration. The team at Springfield Mechanical needed to build internal capability and ramp-up the skills of the IT for long-term success on the Microsoft platform. 

The Solution: Mentoring with Microsoft 365 Deployment

Mobile Mentor delivered their signature Mentoring service, which provided side-by-side enablement of Microsoft 365, with best practices for process automation while building the confidence and capability of the Springfield IT team. 

“We had an immediate challenge that needed solving, but we were also thinking long term. Mentoring gave us the best of both worlds; quick support up front, and lasting impact. My team got the initial training they needed, and they came away with a much deeper level of knowledge and capability.”
