Context
The client is a US-based Managed IT Services Provider delivering end-to-end IT support and infrastructure management to mid-market enterprises. To scale their service offerings without inflating their cost base, the client engaged Netoyed under a dedicated helpdesk and specialist resource augmentation model. The scope covered L1/L2 support, server administration, Intune MDM, and project-based delivery across a portfolio of 700+ managed Windows endpoints.
Challenges
The client needed more than a single-skill partner. Their requirements spanned multiple capability layers simultaneously: L1/L2 helpdesk engineers for day-to-day client support, after-hours engineers to cover overnight and weekend periods, and server administrators for infrastructure management.
On top of this, they needed Intune specialists to manage device compliance at scale and project resources for client transformation initiatives.
The core challenge was finding a single partner capable of delivering all of these at a cost point that preserved the client's margins, without compromising the service quality their enterprise customers expected.
Our Approach
- Deployed a multi-tiered support structure with L1 engineers for first-contact resolution, L2 specialists for escalated issues, and dedicated server and Intune engineers for infrastructure and device management
- Established after-hours support operations aligned to AEST business hours (6 PM to 8 AM), providing full overnight and weekend coverage across the client's entire customer base
- Provided Intune specialists who designed and deployed MDM policies across 700+ Windows devices, covering application inventory, compliance policies, Windows Hello for Business, Wi-Fi profiles, certificate-based authentication, and zero-touch deployment
- Developed a comprehensive Intune discovery questionnaire covering 18 critical areas including GPO migration paths, security baselines, update rings, and conditional access to ensure structured rollouts
- Supplied project resources for client transformation initiatives on a time-and-materials basis, integrating directly into client-facing delivery teams
Netoyed Edge
- Operates as an extension of the client's own team, with customers receiving consistent support and no indication that delivery is offshore
- Consolidated all capability layers under a single engagement, removing the need to manage multiple vendors
- Enabled the client to offer 24x7 managed services and specialist capabilities without maintaining Australian-based night-shift staff or hiring expensive onshore specialists
The Results
- Achieved 50-60% cost reduction compared to equivalent onshore resourcing in Australia
- Exceeded 70% first-contact resolution rate at the L1 helpdesk layer
- Delivered full overnight and weekend coverage, enabling the client to meet 24x7 SLAs across their customer base
- Completed Intune rollout across 700+ managed Windows devices with 95%+ policy compliance achieved
- Embedded project resources into client-facing delivery teams with zero onboarding friction
