CIS

CIS is a single-source IT services provider that builds, manages, supports and optimizes enterprise IT infrastructure under one engagement. Its pitch is that the usual models, an MSP, a field-services provider, an aggregator, a reseller, a trusted advisor, each does one part, and CIS aims to be all of them under one roof, on one bill, with one source of proactive support. It offers field services for national on-site repair, structured cabling and equipment deployments; managed services that run infrastructure, security and support; advisory work to guide network design, procurement, implementation and staffing; and professional services for lifecycle management, project management and compliance. Its engagement model is meant to be flexible, filling the gaps where a customer's own team is short on skills or capacity while leaving them in control where they are strong. For an IT leader tired of coordinating many separate providers, CIS offers one partner across the whole infrastructure lifecycle.
