Case Study: Charleston Stevedoring Company regains IT control and agility with eGroup

Charleston Stevedoring Company cuts VM spin-up time from a week to 20 minutes with eGroup

Charleston Stevedoring Company (CSC), a cargo port operator, was frustrated by an IT environment fully controlled by a previous managed service provider, which created bottlenecks and limited their ability to innovate. Vulnerable to cyber threats and unable to make simple changes, they turned to eGroup Enabling Technologies for a strategic partnership to regain control.

eGroup migrated CSC to a new Microsoft 365 tenant and fully to Azure, regaining IT control and agility. They implemented a Meraki network, managed security with ThreatDefender, and deployed Teams Phone with custom scripting for safety. The results included a dramatically faster process for spinning up new virtual machines (from a week to 20 minutes), proactive cybersecurity that prevented attacks, and overall greater operational efficiency at a similar cost to their previous provider.
