What a Chicago engagement typically looks like.
Trading desk refresh
A typical engagement: a proprietary trading firm needs diverse fiber entries, failover engineered and tested against its co-location setup, and an on-call rotation that understands how a desk fails over.
Manufacturer OT split
A typical engagement: an industrial manufacturer separates OT from IT across its plants, with segmentation designed remotely and physical work delivered through vetted local partners around production schedules.
Law firm DMS migration
A typical engagement: a litigation firm migrates its document management system, ethical walls included, over a scheduled weekend window so attorneys open Monday with matters intact.
