The firm has grown to nine outlets, providing services to general contractors, owners and property managers for industrial, commercial, tenant improvement, and public work projects such as hospitals and schools. Maintaining employee productivity and customer service levels, while protecting vital data assets as it continues to expand,is a prime objective for the company.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BROADBAND COMMUNICATIONS SPAWN INTERNET-BORN THREATST

The need for fast transmission of design plans and component specifications, and the distributed nature of Trim Tech’s job sites led the company to transition to high capacity T1 broadband communications. While the move to broadband brought immediate communications improvements, it also increased Trim Tech’s vulnerability to malware, spam, spyware and other Internet-born threats. With business protection a prime concern, they turned to SonicWALL Gold Medallion partner Lanlogic.
