Challenge
Stevens had deeply invested in their IT and Security and was highly focused on innovation and delivering enhanced services through data-driven decisions.
The strategic team at Stevens had planned for a long time to partner with a Managed IT and Cybersecurity services provider that will not only be responsible for maintaining their IT and Cybersecurity operations, but also help them re-visit existing security structure and re-envision the strategic goals.
