Scaling IT Operations During a Mission-Critical ERP Transformation

The client’s internal help desk was being pulled in two directions at once.

Supporting day-to-day IT incidents across 20+ sites while managing the surge in tickets driven by the Oracle Fusion ERP rollout. Responsiveness slowed, frustration grew, and IT leaders faced an impossible tradeoff: keep the business running, or protect the ERP go-live. Hiring full-time staff wasn’t practical as the spike was temporary and the need was flexibility.

ATG partnered with the client using a co-managed IT model.

Stabilizing operations without disrupting internal ownership. Flexible by design: scale up or down without touching headcount.

Key Enhancements

160 hours/month of ticket triage and frontline support

Private dedicated number via Microsoft Teams Voice

All service operated under ATG’s 3|29 Response Standard:
