As Karen McGonigal, the IT Manager for First Heritage FCU notes, there is a close relationship between the two companies.
Much of First Heritage’s satisfaction is grounded within the legacy aspect of its relationship with Mike and the other technicians at Micro Solutions. She stated “that legacy knowledge is important as well as…the trust factor and familiarity with the organization. [These] really are huge benefits to a smaller organization.” When First Heritage ramps up for a new project, Micro Solutions is already aware of the basis of their IT system so downtime is limited and integration is seamless.

Kicking IT Security Up a Notch
First Heritage FCU has certain servers that are required in order to be able to deliver the necessary services to their customers. However, they needed to find a better solution for replication and data recovery.
After a planning session with Micro Solutions with the goal of hammering out a plan to best use their budget when it came to data recovery, the IT company brought a very attractive solution to the table. This solution utilized a combination of cloud services and existing hardware that allowed First Heritage to save money without compromising its goals.
During this phase, Mike identified a component that was currently being presented as part of the solution that could be found at a better price and offering more robust features. This move not only save First Heritage money but positioned them for a more workable solution in the future.
