Fragmented Support and Reactive IT Operations 

Before partnering with IT Solutions Technology Partners, Canyon State Electric faced ongoing challenges with IT support and service delivery from their MSP. Response times were inconsistent and often delayed, impacting productivity and frustrating end users. 

Project execution was also unreliable, with missed timelines and incomplete deliverables creating additional strain on internal resources. Their internal IT lead spent a significant amount of time managing escalations and troubleshooting recurring issues rather than focusing on strategic initiatives. 

Despite working with a managed service provider, the lack of coordination from the provider created a disconnected experience. From the user’s perspective, IT felt fragmented—lacking accountability, consistency, and collaboration. Over time, this led to declining trust and growing frustration across their organization. 

Building a Unified IT Partnership 

Through Total IT Managed Services, ITS brought a more structured and collaborative approach designed to function as one unified IT team. 

Rather than simply providing support, ITS worked closely with Canyon State Electric to establish clear ownership, accountability, and communication through defined roles and responsibilities. 

Key elements of the approach included: 

• Establishing shared accountability through clearly defined responsibilities (RACI) 

• Improving visibility into tickets, projects, and operational activity 

• Strengthening communication and follow-through across all workstreams 

• Building documentation and processes to support long-term stability 

From the beginning, the engagement emphasized transparency, organization, and proactive management—ensuring IT aligned with both day-to-day needs and long-term business goals.

Improved Visibility, Stability, and User Confidence 

Since partnering with ITS, Canyon State Electric has seen meaningful improvements across its IT operations. 

With greater visibility into support activity, projects, and infrastructure, the organization has shifted from a reactive to a more proactive IT model. Issues are identified earlier, communication has improved, and overall responsiveness is more consistent. 

Internally, IT is able to prioritize other initiatives and plan for future improvements, allowing them to better support business growth. 

For end users, the impact has been immediate, with improved communication, faster support, and a more reliable overall experience. 

Reflecting on the partnership, Canyon State Electric emphasizes the value of having a provider that acts not as a vendor, but as a true extension of their team—bringing structure, accountability, and collaboration to every interaction. 

Canyon State’s Sr. IT Administrator, Dylan Murray, shared: 

What has stood out most is the transparency, collaboration, and accountability. It truly feels like one team working toward the same goals.

The Impact: IT That Works as a Unified Team 

Today, Canyon State Electric operates with a more scalable IT environment. Clear communication, shared ownership, and improved processes have created a stronger foundation for future growth—ensuring IT is no longer a source of frustration, but a reliable function that supports the business. 

The Takeaway: Better IT Starts with Better Partnership 

Canyon State’s experience highlights the importance of alignment between internal IT and external providers. With the right structure, visibility, and collaboration, organizations can move away from reactive support models and build a more stable, scalable IT foundation.
