Case Study: Nationwide Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction Company

Standardizing and Securing IT Across a Rapid Growth Strategy

Overview

This nationwide disaster recovery and reconstruction company operates more than 70 locations with over 2,600 employees. Following its acquisition by a private equity firm, the organization accelerated its growth through multiple strategic acquisitions. To unify IT systems, strengthen security, and support seamless integration across its expanding enterprise, the company relies on L3 Networks as its trusted IT partner.

The Challenge

Integrating and Standardizing IT Environments Across Multiple Acquisitions

As the organization expanded, each newly acquired company brought its own systems, tools, and security standards. The central challenge was to consolidate these diverse environments into a unified and compliant technology framework without disrupting ongoing operations.

The internal IT team needed a partner capable of scaling quickly, maintaining uptime, and enforcing enterprise-grade cybersecurity and compliance across every acquisition.

The Solution

L3 Networks developed a standardized onboarding and integration model for all acquisitions.

Key activities included:

• Full IT Assessments – Conducting comprehensive assessments covering Active Directory, network configuration, backup systems, and endpoint protection.

• Infrastructure Migration – Migrating legacy infrastructure and applications to centralized platforms and security standards.

• Azure Cloud Architecture – Implementing Azure-based cloud architecture and disaster recovery to improve scalability and resilience.

• Collaborative Integration – Collaborating with leadership teams, IT staff, and third-party vendors to coordinate cutovers and minimize downtime.

This repeatable model helps the organization maintain a consistent IT posture that supports growth, compliance, and performance across its nationwide footprint.

The Results

A Scalable, Secure Platform for Continuous Expansion

L3 Networks continues to play a central role in the company's ongoing acquisition strategy by supporting integration, security, and operational continuity for every new location.
