Volmar Construction is a general contractor that builds for federal, state, and municipal government agencies. That work sets a high security bar, and it means sensitive information moves in and out of the company every day.
The infrastructure carrying that information had fallen behind. Volmar ran its IT in house, the network was outdated, and attackers found it. The company took a number of attacks against both its email server and its network server.
Peter Volandes had already identified the gap. Then one incident forced the decision.
Volmar evaluated multiple providers. What decided it was which provider understood the nature of Volmar’s business and what its network has to support.
Volmar needed a plan that met the security requirement without interrupting active work.
Peter describes the engagement in four terms. The infrastructure was upgraded for security and connectivity. The solution was efficient. It was cost-effective. It was executed with minimal disruption.
Peter names three changes after two years of working together.
In short, I know that WheelHouse IT has my back.
I would absolutely recommend WheelHouse IT.
WheelHouse IT understood Volmar's business and its infrastructure and software needs incredibly well, and their post-engagement response and support have been exemplary.
