Overview


Fir Tree Partners, a privately owned hedge fund sponsor, needed a fully established IT department but did not have the resources or budget to build a full-scale IT department in-house. Managing all of their technology initiatives was not their core focus or expertise. Fir Tree was seeking a partner with which to truly engage in regards to their Information Technology support. They also required a partner that would build its environment with sound best practices, while helping to leverage technology for their business strategy. Fir Tree had engaged with other Managed Services providers previously but was unable to find a team to be its technology partner.

Highlights


  • Full-scale, end-to-end IT support of environment
  • 24-hour service desk support and daily onsite support
  • CTO planning and strategy services
  • Scaled from $4bn Assets Under Management (AUM) to $8bn AUM
  • Full-scale business continuity plan
  • Implementation of innovative technologies including the full virtualisation of environment and rollout of VDI

“In all, Fir Tree Partners now has a full team of dedicated professionals on whom it can count for the support of its IT environment today and tomorrow.”

Summary


The main advantage afforded to Fir Tree Partners was by leveraging the deep expertise and industry knowledge of PTS. With PTS’ help, Fir Tree Partners was able to implement many innovative technologies including the full virtualisation of its environment and the rollout of VDI. This implementation has yielded an enhanced Business Continuity and has ensured overall integrity of the site.

As a result, Fir Tree Partners has now benefited from a prolonged investment in its IT assets as well as a consolidated footprint with the use of virtualisation.
