Case Study: Stranded Oil Resources Corporation achieves $100K/year savings and IT consolidation with Intermedia

Intermedia Helps Stranded Oil Save $100K Per Year

Stranded Oil Resources Corporation, a 100‑employee oil and gas exploration firm in Golden, Colorado, faced a fragmented IT environment that hampered operations. IT manager Kevin Finnegan was managing eight+ vendors (including separate email domains, multiple Dropbox accounts and VoIP providers), paying more than $18,000/month, and struggling with poor support, limited scalability and no centralized control of email, files or phones.

Intermedia consolidated the company’s email, Cloud PBX, SecuriSync backup/file sharing, cloud servers and archiving, provided responsive support and a 99.999% SLA, and managed the migration. The result: a single vendor model that cut costs by roughly $100,000 per year (about 40%), eliminated redundant services, improved reliability and security, sped up change management and freed IT to focus on higher‑value work.
