A large multi-family property management group overseeing 16 properties with plans for rapid growth turned to Miles IT for comprehensive IT support and security.
The client had experienced significant challenges with their previous managed service provider (MSP), including delays, poor communication, and weak security measures. They sought an MSP experienced in property takeovers with a strong focus on proactive cybersecurity, clear project planning, and efficient onboarding processes.

Provide Consistency
Ensure consistent billing per property and offer clear, itemized invoices for IT services.
Communicate Effectively
Provide transparent communication and project planning throughout the takeover and onboarding processes for new properties.
