Case Study
McCormack Family Farms'
Transformation with Proactive Managed IT Services
McCormack Family Farms is a second-generation family farm and Ireland’s leading grower of baby salad leaves, herbs, microgreens and edible flowers, renowned for their Honest Leaf ethos. They have experienced significant growth in their business in the last decade. However, they also faced significant IT challenges that had the potential to hinder their productivity and growth. McCormack Family Farms did have an agreement with an existing provider but found that while they were reactive to IT issues, what they required was a proactive IT partner and decided to engage with several other providers and seek recommendations.
McCormack Family Farms decided to partner with IT.ie as their Managed IT Services provider to address their IT challenges.
McCormack Family Farms encountered various obstacles that were impeding their business operations and expansion. To tackle these challenges, they sought the assistance of a proactive Managed IT Services partner who could provide them with a comprehensive solution.
The farm’s existing server was outdated and prone to frequent downtime, resulting in lost productivity and potentially impacting growth and revenue.
With the growing reliance on technology and digital connectivity, the farm faced increased security risks that could potentially compromise sensitive data and impact operations in the event of a cyber security incident. McCormack Family Farms recognised the importance of safeguarding their valuable information and required robust cyber security solutions to protect their business from external threats.
As the business continued to expand, its IT infrastructure needed to be scalable and adaptable to support future growth.
The farm needed a strategic IT partner who could understand their long-term goals and design a tailored solution that would align with their growth objectives
