The challenge

Growing MSP operations required greater efficiency and scale

As IT.ie expanded its customer base, managing Microsoft environments, licensing, billing, security assessments, and operational workflows became increasingly complex.

The company needed a way to simplify day-to-day operations while creating a scalable platform capable of supporting future growth. Vendor sprawl, manual processes, and fragmented systems created unnecessary administrative overhead that limited efficiency.

Operational complexity

Multiple systems and vendors increased management overhead.

Manual billing processes

Administrative work consumed valuable staff resources.

Scaling challenges

Growth required more efficient workflows.

Security management demands

Monitoring and improving customer security posture required significant effort.

The OpenText approach

Simplifying operations through consolidation and automation

OpenText focused on helping IT.ie streamline operations from the beginning of the relationship. Rather than concentrating solely on products, the partnership focused on simplifying how the MSP operated through vendor consolidation, automation, and process improvements.

By consolidating services and introducing integrated operational workflows, IT.ie reduced manual effort and created a more scalable service delivery model.

The biggest fundamental way OpenText helped us very early on in the relationship was vendor consolidation and automation. They helped make things operationally simple.

Automation that scales

Automated billing reduced administrative overhead

One of the most impactful improvements came through automation. OpenText introduced a third-party integration that enabled IT.ie to fully automate its billing processes.

This eliminated significant manual effort, reduced the need for additional administrative staff, and created ongoing operational efficiencies across the business.

OpenText Secure Cloud

One platform supporting multiple business functions

OpenText Secure Cloud became a platform used across multiple departments within IT.ie. Rather than serving only technical teams, the platform supports accounting, ordering, service delivery, and support functions.

This broad adoption helped create operational consistency while giving teams access to the information they need to serve customers efficiently.

Accounting teams

Support teams

Partner support that feels personal

Enterprise-scale resources with direct access to experts

For many MSPs, working with a large vendor can create barriers to support. IT.ie experienced the opposite.

OpenText provided direct access to account managers, technical resources, and Microsoft specialists who helped with customer opportunities, technical challenges, and pre-sales engagements.

The biggest surprise to us with using such a large company like OpenText was access to people.

assistance

Improving Microsoft security posture

Helping customers strengthen Microsoft Secure Score

Security remains a core objective for both Microsoft and IT.ie. Through OpenText tools and guidance, IT.ie is helping customers improve their Microsoft Secure Score and strengthen their overall security posture.

OpenText provides reporting, visibility, and training that helps engineers identify security gaps and prioritize improvements across customer environments.

Audit reporting that saves time

Reducing assessment effort across hundreds of Microsoft tenants

One of the most valuable capabilities for IT.ie is the OpenText security audit reporting functionality.

Instead of requiring engineers to manually investigate individual tenants, automated reporting provides rapid visibility into security gaps and recommended actions.

For an MSP managing hundreds of Microsoft environments, the time savings are substantial.

The Secure audit report is invaluable. It’s knocking probably a half day or a day worth of man hours per tenant.

Up to one day saved per tenant

Reduced manual investigation and assessment work.

200–250+ tenants managed

Centralized reporting at scale.
