An outdated SharePoint system can fade into obscurity. But when upgraded correctly with a proper user adoption program, it can return to stardom. It’s that kind of turnaround that was led by Israel Class, the Director of IT at GateWay Community College. He shared his story after working with Enabling Technologies.
Our relationship with Armtec Defense Technologies began in 2014, with a Lync project. “Enabling came to the rescue,” said Muscarella. “They assessed our situation, looked at our design, made some strong recommendations that would best fit our network model, and provided a great foundation. Enabling has been by our side the whole time through this migration process.”

Enabling Technologies worked with Gardner-Webb University to successfully overhaul policies and procedures with SharePoint as well as get them to rest easy with our Managed Services solutions. “Troubleshooting and crisis management occupied 80% of our support team’s time.

We enabled PhishHunter at exactly the right time. Otherwise, we were going to have a potential catastrophe on our hands. In early 2018, I noted a much more realistic quality of phishing emails. The login pages that came after the click were also very realistic. If a user didn’t happen to notice the odd URL, there’d be no way they could resist logging in. We quickly made the decision to use PhishHunter to automatically disable compromised accounts.”
All the up-front effort is paying off with user satisfaction and business results. “Teams is really helpful on projects with stakeholders across the organization,” said Namvar. “It’s more efficient to have channels to organize conversations than a lot of emails. When we’re reviewing and making lots of changes on a file, not having to manage the replies and edits is helpful.”
