The Client
A state agency responsible for managing state lands, helping its citizens recover from natural disasters, providing benefits to its veterans, and managing its vast coastlines.
The Problem
The client had to respond to a natural disaster and required assistance in creating an information technology (IT) support service that can continually adapt to the client’s changing needs.
The Solution
Loblolly implemented a new cloud strategy and infrastructure along with related program operational support processes.
The project scope was delivered in three phases:
- Phase 1 – assess and evaluate infrastructure, systems, processes, resources, services and needs
- Phase 2 – implement new cloud infrastructure, migrate systems and data and support staff and systems
- Phase 3 – manage and maintain systems; evaluate and implement ongoing needs based on business program changes
The Team
Loblolly Staff Roles: Project manager, Cloud administrators, SharePoint architect, security engineers, desktop support

The Results
By Phase:
- Phase 1 – Assessment
- Loblolly assessed and evaluated the infrastructure, systems, processes, resources, services and needs, and provided the client with specifications and a road map to accomplish this goal.
- Phase 2 – Implementation
- Loblolly implemented the new cloud infrastructure, migrated the systems and data to that new infrastructure, and created the structure needed to support the client staff and their systems.
- Phase 3 – Maintenance
- Loblolly continues to manage and maintain the client systems and to evaluate and implement on-going needs based on business program changes.
What's Next
The first two phases are complete and achieved the objectives defined by the client. The third phase is on-going, and Loblolly is adapting the business program changes and implementing solutions to adjust to those changes.
