A prominent gaming company renowned for its iconic intellectual property faced a critical resource gap in its IT department. The organization required an expert in advanced Jamf mobile device management with a robust IT infrastructure background to manage and troubleshoot time-sensitive issues on-site. Security was paramount, given the sensitive nature of their intellectual property. Their internal HR team struggled for months to find a candidate who fit the required skill set, budget constraints, and availability for a full-time, 40-hour-per-week workload. This prolonged search began to impact the efficiency of their IT operations and heightened the risk of potential disruptions.

Recognizing the urgency, the company turned to us for staff augmentation services. Within just two days, we identified and placed a highly skilled resource who not only possessed advanced expertise in Jamf but also had a comprehensive understanding of IT infrastructure. Our rigorous vetting process ensured the candidate met all security, skill, and cultural fit requirements, particularly important for working in a highly secure environment like a gaming studio. The resource was seamlessly integrated into the team and started contributing immediately. Benefits The impact was immediate and profound. The IT operations team experienced a significant reduction in downtime due to the resource’s ability to handle complex issues efficiently. Originally brought on for a three-month engagement, the candidate exceeded expectations, earning the trust of the organization and remaining in the role for over two years.

A large-scale nationwide client with multiple architects requested support in establishing and configuring their ManageEngine environment from the ground up. With a variety of IT requirements encompassing IT Service Management (ITSM), Mobile Device Management (MDM), Change Management, Project Management, and OKTA integration, the task involved tailoring the ManageEngine suite to fit their specific business workflows, guaranteeing smooth integration, and promoting user acceptance.

Aspire Live, a trusted IT solutions provider, developed a comprehensive deployment strategy for ManageEngine solutions, integrating asset management, change management, project management, and MDM implementation. We executed the successful conversion and implementation of ManageEngine products, including seamlessly migrating ticket histories from previous ITSM tools, establishing robust change management procedures, configuring project boards, and optimising asset management capabilities with seamless OKTA integration. Additionally, Aspire Live provided post-project support with dedicated hours for addressing ongoing issues, providing additional training, and facilitating the integration of new modules within the ManageEngine suite. We extended support services for six months post-go-live to ensure operational efficiency and user satisfaction.

The prominent hospital in southern California, operating across two locations, identified the imperative to revamp and streamline IT service management processes for heightened efficiency and effectiveness. Seeking to implement ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM) for a robust ticketing system and enhanced incident resolution capabilities, the challenge resided in configuring ServiceNow minimally while guaranteeing a seamless migration of ticket history from their current third-party vendor.

Our team initiated a thorough implementation process to address the challenge of implementing ServiceNow ITSM at the hospital. We opted for a base, vanilla installation of ServiceNow, focusing on essential functionalities without custom workflows or automation initiatives. This involved setting up 7-10 IT queues customised to meet specific requirements and configuring the default portal for user ticket submissions. Additionally, we integrated email (SMTP) services for streamlined communication and basic reporting capabilities for incident tracking and analysis. Our team meticulously managed the migration process, utilising available tools to preserve historical data and uninterrupted service continuity. Furthermore, we conducted tailored training sessions for the IT team, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to leverage the ServiceNow platform effectively.
