The Problem

A global specialty chemicals company based in Maryland, with a long history producing high-performance science-based solutions for industrial applications, faced growing challenges. Serving petrochemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture markets across 30 countries, their teams operated across diverse touchpoints, including consultation, research, manufacturing, and support. Despite massive growth, inefficiencies within their fragmented technology infrastructure were causing frustration. The prior provider's use of multiple vendors had led to performance issues and service gaps.

The Solution

Recognizing systemic inefficiencies, the company partnered with Advizex to streamline the delivery and support of technology solutions. The goal was to obtain reliable 24/7 support, reduce operational costs, improve response times, and simplify security management. Advizex delivered a 36-month turnkey managed services solution featuring proactive monitoring and remediation for existing CheckPoint and Palo Alto Prisma environments. The new services were seamlessly integrated across on-premises and cloud systems, aligning with global operations to reduce operational burdens and enhance visibility.

The Implementation

Advizex deployed a team of solutions architects and a project manager to guide phased adoption in line with the company's evolving security needs. With thorough planning and proactive risk mitigation, the implementation overcame challenges while maintaining business continuity.

The Impact

Advizex delivered an integrated, efficient technology solution that transformed business operations:

• Reduced operating costs: Vendor consolidation reduced costs without sacrificing performance.

• Faster response times: 24/7 monitoring enabled real-time responses to security incidents.

• SLA adherence: Operations were guided by a robust service-level agreement.

• Enhanced security posture: Proactive threat detection and remediation were provided both on-premises and in the cloud.

• Integrated support structures: Unified systems improved efficiency, uptime, and visibility.

‍The Conclusion

Advizex modernized the company’s IT infrastructure with expert deployment of CheckPoint and Palo Alto Prisma. Through 24/7 managed services, the organization reduced operating risks and enhanced business continuity. This transformation improved operations, built confidence, and freed internal teams to focus on long-term strategic growth.
