IT Challenge

Like many other companies, Nystrom was faced with quickly moving employees off-site and setting them up to work successfully from home. To ease the transition, Logically helped the company distribute and set up laptops. “I would say overall it was very seamless. We got people home and set up within a couple of weeks. It was quick and I was pretty impressed,” said Ms. Thomas. Logically managed Nystrom’s physical and cloud servers before the pandemic, enabling them to back up remotely. During the transition to working from home, the ability to connect to these servers became essential.
