CHALLENGES
Rampmaster’s journey with CBIZ CompuData began due to dissatisfaction with their previous Sage 100 partner and the need to tackle IT support challenges within their infrastructure. Dealing with server management issues, backup failures, and limited internal resources, Rampmaster sought a more stable environment to ensure efficient operations. Their heavy reliance on on-premises systems resulted in accessibility challenges across facilities, including power and connectivity issues, highlighting the need for centralized access solutions.
Additionally, Rampmaster encountered typical challenges associated with outdated infrastructure. While functional, their existing setup lacked the scalability needed for the long term and presented obstacles during Sage 100 upgrades.
With their infrastructure aging and cloud technology emerging as a viable solution, Rampmaster faced the task of transitioning to the cloud to modernize their systems and support future growth goals.
