Tognetti Auto SA

Informed by its long-standing IT partner that all managed IT services would be discontinued as of 2023, Tognetti Auto faced a major challenge: how to manage its entire IT ecosystem without an internal IT department and without external expert support.

In a context of rapid technological evolution and growing business needs, the absence of a professional and reliable IT solution could have seriously compromised operational continuity and market competitiveness.

Aware of the urgency, Tognetti Auto launched a careful search for a new IT service provider, focusing on local experts capable of fully understanding its specific needs and offering a comprehensive cloud-based managed services portfolio, including:

• Workplace management

• Network management

• Data protection

• Infrastructure management

 

Immediately after the engagement, 4IT Solutions ensured that the new servers, network and client environments were fully operational within just a few days. Throughout the transition, all data remained available and users were supported at every stage.

“From the very first meeting, 4IT impressed us with the modernity and innovation of their approach. The project presentation clearly demonstrated a deep understanding of our needs and of the most advanced solutions to address them. Having a single point of contact was a huge advantage for us, as it made communication and decision-making extremely efficient.”
Alice Tognetti – Founder, Tognetti Auto SA

Through the implementation of the Managed Workplace service and the adoption of Microsoft 365, 4IT Solutions enabled Tognetti Auto to benefit from centralised remote management while creating a modern, efficient and highly productive working environment.

“Microsoft Intune allows us to manage all workstations remotely, keeping full control over device lifecycles, software, BIOS and operating systems. Thanks to a centralised dashboard, we also ensure an excellent user experience, including support for connected Jabra devices.”
Federico Piazza – Project Manager & Solution Architect, 4IT Solutions

To further support modern work practices, 4IT Solutions proposed the migration from the legacy file server to SharePoint, offering a secure, structured and collaborative digital workspace accessible anytime and from anywhere.

“Our goal was to simplify backup processes, enable fast data recovery in case of cyberattacks or human error, and above all ensure that Tognetti Auto’s critical data is always secure and available.”
Francesco Randisi – Project Manager & Solution Architect, 4IT Solutions

This objective was achieved through the Managed Data Protection service, leveraging leading market technologies to protect data within Microsoft 365 and Azure environments.

Historically, Tognetti Auto relied on an on-premise infrastructure that required continuous maintenance and updates, limiting flexibility, scalability and the adoption of new technologies. To support the transition to a modern work environment and ensure data residency in Switzerland, 4IT Solutions migrated all services to Microsoft Azure through the Managed Infrastructure service.

“The current Azure-based infrastructure has clearly enabled Tognetti Auto to operate more efficiently, optimise performance and ensure service continuity compared to the previous hardware-based setup.”
Francesco Randisi – Project Manager & Solution Architect, 4IT Solutions

As a final step, 4IT Solutions redesigned the entire network infrastructure through its Managed Network service, selecting high-performance solutions to increase bandwidth, reliability and security.

“In today’s digital landscape, a well-managed and secure network is essential to support modern working models such as real-time collaboration, remote access and cloud applications. Managed services provide continuous monitoring and expert support, ensuring optimal performance and uninterrupted operations.”
Stefano Santandrea – Project Manager & Solution Architect, 4IT Solutions

“It was a real pleasure working with 4IT on this project. They were incredibly proactive and solution-oriented, making the entire process smooth and seamless. What impressed us the most was their ability to present the project in a simple and engaging way, even for those of us who are not IT experts. They clearly explained complex concepts and allowed us to visualize the benefits and key points from the very beginning. Thanks to them, we were able to make informed decisions and are extremely satisfied with what has been achieved so far. We highly recommend them for their professionalism and empathetic approach.”
