Northern Michigan-Based MSP With Ticket Management Issues

Our client is a Northern Michigan-based managed service provider serving small and medium-sized businesses (10 to 250 users). The MSP was growing its client base quickly, which increased the workload on its in-house team. Also, the client lacked in-house engineers to manage all the support requests.
