This Nonprofit Suddenly Lost Access To Their Payroll Software…

This client is a 501(c) nonprofit organization that provides a range of services to support homeless people in their region.

Funded almost entirely through government programs, this client manages a long list of apartment buildings to house those in need of shelter and provides clinical services, crisis response services, and more. With more than 800 employees, this client depends on their accounting software to accurately track staff hours and manage their payroll effectively.

Prior to partnering with Servcom USA, they had worked with a different hosting provider, with whom everything was fine—until it wasn’t. Out of the blue, this client lost access to their accounting software.

When they got in touch with their hosting provider, they were informed nothing could be done, leaving them without a way to track employee timesheets or execute their payroll processes.

This Nonprofit Immediately Began Looking For Help…

Over the course of two weeks, this nonprofit was unable to access their accounting software, which was severely affecting their ability to operate, compensate their staff, and provide their critical services.

In their search for another IT company that was familiar with their specific accounting software, this nonprofit got in touch with one of our clients. They were soon referred to us and quickly explained that they needed immediate assistance in regaining access to their hosted accounting software.

After verifying that we could indeed solve their problem, the Servcom USA team got to work…

How Servcom USA Solved This Nonprofit’s Crisis

Understanding how time-sensitive this project was, our team immediately began working to help this nonprofit rebuild its hosted environment and access its accounting software again.

• We worked with the previous hosting provider to access data backups.
• We spun up three new servers over the course of a single weekend.
• We arranged an hourly IT support contract to ensure they had the assistance they would need over the following few months.

In just a few days, we were able to set up a new, functional and reliable cloud setting for this nonprofit’s accounting software. The client was able to get up and going quickly, enjoying a new degree of speed and reliability.
