How a Suburban Fire Department Gained 24/7 IT Confidence with LeadingIT
Client
Overview
Fire Department | Public Safety
A suburban Fire Department with 28 employees across three stations serves as the first line of defense for its community. From emergency dispatch to inter-station communication, reliable technology is critical to keeping residents safe.
In 2023 the department turned to LeadingIT after struggling with an IT provider that was unresponsive, expensive, and inconsistent. Their office manager—responsible for daily coordination—underscored the stakes: every second matters when public safety is on the line.
Unreliable IT Was a Public-Safety Risk
Before partnering with LeadingIT, the department faced technology problems that directly threatened operational readiness:
- Slow, Unresponsive Support: Critical issues lingered, leaving staff anxious during emergencies.
- Rising Costs, No Added Value: Service fees increased without measurable improvements.
- Low Confidence in Uptime: Leadership worried about system failures during urgent calls.
The fire chief and team needed a trusted 24/7 managed IT partner so they could focus entirely on protecting the community—not troubleshooting computers.
