DecisionWise Enhances IT Reliability and Efficiency
DecisionWise
After frustrating experiences with two prior IT providers, DecisionWise partnered with i.t.NOW in 2019 for honest, tailored IT management — gaining reliable infrastructure, trustworthy advice, and efficient issue resolution across ~300 projects a year.
The Challenge
DecisionWise, headquartered in Springville, Utah, specializes in helping organizations collect and analyze employee feedback to create positive and successful company cultures. With a global client base, DecisionWise facilitates employee experience surveys using software platforms like Medallia and ConfirmIt. Additionally, they process physical surveys, converting them into digital data for deeper analysis using business intelligence tools.
Managing around 300 projects annually and maintaining between 300 and 400 clients at a time, DecisionWise required a robust and reliable IT infrastructure to support their operations. However, after unsatisfactory experiences with two different IT providers, DecisionWise was left frustrated and in need of a reliable partner who could offer the technical expertise and support necessary to keep their operations running smoothly.
In 2019, under the leadership of Dr. Tracy Maylett, CEO, and Matthew Wride, who oversees day-to-day operations, DecisionWise partnered with ITNOW to resolve these challenges.
The Solution
i.t.NOW was brought in to manage DecisionWise's IT needs, including network administration, help desk support, and general technical assistance. One of the initial projects involved evaluating DecisionWise's interest in moving to a completely cloud-based Active Directory through Azure. After a thorough assessment, i.t.NOW advised against this approach, offering a more suitable alternative.

Their level of employee skill and professionalism outpaces anything else we've experienced. They track things really well. Our tickets don't just go into the ether—stuff always gets solved. At the end of the day, I really liked their answer because they told us what we could and couldn't do, and I felt confident that I was getting the right answer.
