Case Study: Guarantee Electrical achieves faster, cloud-based operations and 30% storage reduction with Viewpoint Vista and Team

Guarantee Electrical Moves to the Cloud with Viewpoint To Modernize Operations

Guarantee Electrical, a St. Louis–based design‑build electrical contractor founded in 1902 with operations in four states and roughly 600 field professionals at peak, faced growing IT and operational strain from on‑premise servers, manual workflows, limited remote access and rapidly filling storage. As projects and data needs accelerated, the company needed faster processing, better document and project collaboration, and cloud‑delivered features to modernize operations.

Guarantee migrated its Vista construction management system to the cloud and rolled out Viewpoint Team, executing a carefully planned migration in under 36 hours with focused staff training. The move relieved IT overhead, cut disaster‑recovery storage needs by about 30%, sped key processes (e.g., a truck‑stock import from over an hour to under 15 minutes) and improved real‑time access and flexibility for project teams, boosting productivity and reducing manual work.
