The Challenge

Horizon Management Consulting Group needed to address escalating voice and data costs while simultaneously upgrading their cybersecurity infrastructure to meet California's rigorous healthcare compliance standards. The high operational expenses limited their capacity to invest in essential security technologies and governance, putting both regulatory standing and sensitive client data at risk.

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, Horizon Management Consulting Group engaged Get IT Sense to conduct a thorough technology audit. By identifying inefficiencies and leveraging a distributor business model, Get IT Sense guided Horizon through transitioning to new providers, reducing costs and enabling strategic reinvestment. As Jay Payne, IT Director at Horizon, noted: "Get IT Sense made the audit process so easy to understand what we needed to add from a security perspective, and the implementation was so smooth for me as the internal Director of Technology. It's a relief to have a partner that can simplify complex technology transitions." This partnership provided Horizon a clear path to modernizing their IT infrastructure while ensuring a seamless operational transition.

The Results

Following the implementation of Get IT Sense's recommendations, Horizon achieved a $7,000 monthly reduction in voice and data expenses, dropping from $19,000 to $12,000. The realized savings funded $9,000 in advanced cybersecurity applications and CISO services, meeting compliance mandates and improving the organization's overall security framework. Horizon's leadership highlighted the efficiency and ease of the entire process, underscoring the value of working with a partner who delivers both cost optimization and elevated security outcomes.
