Case Study: Johnson Investment Counsel achieves seamless remote work during COVID-19 with Evolve IP’s Work Anywhere™ OneCloud™

Johnson Investment Counsel - Customer Case study

Johnson Investment Counsel (JIC) is a Midwest asset management firm overseeing $13 billion for 3,500 clients across 49 states. Wanting to “get out of the server business” and enable secure, compliant remote work, JIC deployed Evolve IP’s OneCloud platform (phones, virtual desktops, DR, apps and networking) and even ran a pandemic practice test in October 2019—preparing them for the COVID-19 shutdown that soon followed.

When offices closed, Evolve IP’s Work Anywhere™ Offices let JIC transition to full-time remote work with almost no disruption: advisors continued client calls and trades, IT maintained security and regulatory controls with encrypted data center storage, and overhead for managing regional offices dropped. The result was uninterrupted client service, heightened security and compliance, and an IT team that enabled employees to stay productive and mobile throughout the crisis.
