Warren Lenard, CIO of Byrider, sits down with Jeff Ton to take a deep dive into the six areas of focus he believes are key for CIOs as they enter into a new role and develop their 90 day plan.
InterVision worked closely with MSJC and AWS to determine the most appropriate autoscaling policies to both limit cost and ensure necessary resources were continually available. Within two days, we had completed a production environment deployment of their five initial applications on AppStream 2.0. MSJC subsequently trained more than 300 employees in the following two days, thereby allowing their staff and faculty access to the critical enterprise applications.
InterVision provisioned an AWS cloud architecture that included AWS WorkSpaces Desktop, Identity Management via Microsoft Active Directory, and AWS Transit Gateway using Palo Alto Networks firewalls for their complex networking and routing needs. In the end, most projects of this scale take approximately 3 months but COVID-19 brought the best out in both teams and our strong 24×7 collaboration, deep bench, and systemic automation allowed us to complete this project in one week.
InterVision’s depth of expertise in remote workforce enablement made us a good fit for their project’s objective. We worked closely with their IT team to provision a new VPN with Cisco’s AnyConnect that not only connected employees to their IT systems remotely, but also emphasized the necessary security and compliance standards they needed.
InterVision’s team migrated their colocation virtual machines (VMs) to our IaaS platform for improved capacity and reliability, a configuration and approach that was designed overnight and completed in a day.
The firm engaged InterVision to design and implement a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution that satisfied their board that, in the event of a disaster, they would be able to bring critical systems back online. They satisfied their client audit, as well as proof for other clients, without significant budgetary investment because they leveraged InterVision’s expertise and technology. In addition, the IT team was freed up to focus on 80 other competing IT projects because they outsourced disaster recovery to InterVision.
As a result, the firm established a successful DR testing strategy to ensure systems availability across multiple threats. They also gained the ability to meet regulatory requirements for their financial service clients and increased partner confidence in their firm’s recovery capability. With InterVision managing the full solution, the IT team was able to focus on other priorities within the firm.
The IT leader reached out to InterVision and discussed how fill the skills gap on the IT team. As a result of selecting our staff augmentation, they increased firewalls deployments and configurations substantially.

By turning such complex data into simplified visualizations and actionable insights, The Shop was able better understand the “why” and “how” behind the way pilot users interacted with their product, and what they could do to improve the experience.
InterVision’s analysis revealed that “parking” was one of the most mentioned issues in the survey comments. These insights have allowed the baseball team to proactively prepare for next year’s season. The River Cats’ renewal rate in 2018 was 9% higher than in 2017, and the team attributes some of that improvement to understanding the fans a little better.
As a result of choosing InterVision, the company gained a more transparent show-back of their network utilization, which was helpful to measure the effectiveness of their streaming service and content production; cost savings through rightsizing their network and storage; reduced need to hire additional full-time IT staff; and a consolidated vendor suite for hardware and managed IT services under InterVision’s deep bench of expertise.
