How McKenzie Credit transitioned to independent IT (and full remote work).
When McKenzie Credit separated from its parent company, they lost more than just IT support—they lost their entire technology backbone. Suddenly, they had employees spread across three states and no clear path forward for their data or infrastructure. They needed something secure, scalable, and location-independent—fast.
The challenge
Before the split, McKenzie relied entirely on their parent company’s servers and IT support. After the divestment, they faced three big issues:
No existing IT infrastructure: Their shared physical server was gone, leaving no home for their critical data.
Full remote workforce: The pandemic meant their team was distributed across Oregon, Washington, and California, making traditional solutions impractical.
Future growth: They needed flexibility. A system that could easily scale as the company grew, without expensive hardware or constant IT headaches.
The solution
Instead of setting up another physical server, we moved them entirely to Microsoft Azure and Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). Everything runs securely in the cloud, accessible from anywhere.
Here's how it works now:
Fully remote: Employees securely access their desktop and applications from home, office, or anywhere else.
Instant scalability: Azure lets McKenzie add capacity with a click, accommodating future growth effortlessly.
No downtime: Software updates and maintenance happen behind the scenes. No interruptions.
Simplified security: All data is centralized and secure, reducing complexity and risk.
The outcome
McKenzie Credit now has an independent, flexible IT system that supports remote work without limitations. Instead of worrying about technology, they’re free to focus on building their business.
