Executive summary

Modernizing KPMG International Limited with a managed network platform.

KPMG is a global professional services firm that provides audit, tax, and advisory services to a wide range of clients. They approached us to provide managed service provider (MSP) services to manage their IT infrastructure and support their internal IT team. They were experiencing issues related to network security, data backup, and server maintenance.

At KPMG International Limited, technical decisions were evaluated against client service, compliance-sensitive workflows and operational continuity. The resulting plan integrated network, managed IT and backup and recovery, with attention to service continuity, implementation quality and the team's ability to support the environment over time.

The challenge

The technology risks standing between KPMG International Limited and consistent service.

MicroAntix evaluated KPMG International Limited's technology against the daily realities of client service, compliance-sensitive workflows and operational continuity, identifying where network and managed IT created avoidable disruption or support risk. The project brief needed to address reliability, serviceability and future change together, while keeping implementation practical for the site, users and operating schedule.

Network reliability

Core connectivity needed to support users, applications and connected systems without becoming an operational bottleneck. At KPMG International Limited, the assessment examined switching, routing, equipment organization and dependable access to core services to define the source and operational impact of the gap. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

Support accountability

Technology issues needed a clear response path, proactive maintenance and less disruption to day-to-day work. The risk to KPMG International Limited's operations was evaluated through monitoring, escalation, maintenance ownership and responsive user support before the solution was specified. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

Continuity risk

Critical information and services needed recoverability measures appropriate to the organization's operating priorities. The risk to KPMG International Limited's operations was evaluated through critical data, recovery priorities, retention and restoration readiness before the solution was specified. This made a measured, supportable response more important than an isolated component replacement.

The MicroAntix solution

Engineering KPMG International Limited's network environment for reliable daily use.

Rather than treat each component in isolation, MicroAntix connected network with managed IT for KPMG International Limited. We provided a range of MSP services to KPMG, including: Network security management: We implemented security protocols and software to ensure that the network was protected from cyber threats. We monitored the network 24/7 to detect any potential threats and responded promptly to any incidents. Data backup and disaster recovery: We implemented a data backup and disaster recovery solution to ensure that KPMG's critical data was safe in the event of a disaster. We tested the backup regularly to ensure that it was working correctly. Server maintenance and updates: We provided server maintenance services to ensure that KPMG's servers were running efficiently and reliably.

Operationalize support

Monitoring, maintenance, documentation and escalation procedures created a practical model for ongoing assistance. This gave the KPMG International Limited team a documented approach to monitoring, escalation, maintenance ownership and responsive user support.

Strengthen continuity

Backup, recovery and maintenance practices were organized around critical systems and acceptable operational disruption. This gave the KPMG International Limited team a documented approach to critical data, recovery priorities, retention and restoration readiness.

04

Apply layered security

MicroAntix aligned network, endpoint and access controls with the organization's operating requirements and risk profile. The KPMG International Limited deployment accounted for network boundaries, endpoint exposure, permissions and incident visibility before final testing and handover.
