The Challenge
There are few things more important than high speed and performance for large, industrial companies, especially if you’re Earnest Machine. However, the company’s small and mighty IT department was stretched too thin, supporting dozens of users across an expansive network of distribution centers in the U.S. and U.K. With big goals to fulfill, they knew it was time to shift from working in the business to working on the business. To do that, they needed an IT partner that would eliminate the everyday headaches and bottlenecks so they could refocus on transformation and growth.

Fortunately, they discovered that Calyx was able to bring together everything they looking for, plus even more.
