Maintenance and Management: Keys to Efficient IT

In today’s technology landscape, business dynamism is built on the strength of its IT infrastructure. It is not enough to have advanced systems; resilience is measured in the ability to effectively maintain and restore those systems in the face of any adversity. Agility in response and precision in solutions define success in this area.

Cotresa, a company with more than 25 years in the steel market, faced significant challenges related to the management of its IT infrastructure.
As the company grew, the need to maintain a robust and secure technology environment became paramount.
Cotresa adopted a strategy of outsourcing key IT services, seeking to ensure an efficient and secure operation.
However, prior to our intervention, they faced recurring problems, such as unexpected downtime and complexities in user management, which affected operational efficiency and connectivity between branches.
