Challenge	Delta Diversified Enterprises, Inc., a privately-owned electrical contractor, was facing challenges with the availability and security of their data. The company's EVP and CFO, Brad Berry, was concerned about the potential for their servers to go down in the event of a break-in, fire, or tornado.

Berry realized that he needed to seek an outside vendor to update and refresh the company's technology infrastructure. Read More
About Customer	Delta Diversified Enterprises, Inc. is a privately-owned electrical contractor based in Tempe, Arizona.

Solution	In October 2012, Berry decided to seek an outside vendor to update and refresh the company's technology infrastructure. After touring the 11:11 Systems data center, a system architecture plan was drawn up, and the sales team suggested considering 11:11’s Cloud Services, with 11:11 handling the 24x7x365 management duties. Berry liked the idea of not having to constantly update the company’s technology infrastructure and decided that moving forward with 11:11’s Cloud hosting would be the best fit for Delta Diversified. The transition team at 11:11 Systems, working alongside Consulting Services, helped to scope their requirements. The migration of Delta Diversified’s accounting system, which had a large software program with many moving parts, was handled smoothly by 11:11 Systems in collaboration with Delta Diversified’s accounting software representatives.
