Case Study: Commercial Laundry Services Provider

Transforming IT Operations with Microsoft Cloud and Modern Device Management

Overview

This long-standing commercial laundry and linen services provider has served hotels, restaurants, and healthcare organizations across Southern California for decades. Since 2017, the company has relied on L3 Networks as its complete IT department. With no internal IT staff, the organization depends on L3 Networks to manage every aspect of its technology environment, including infrastructure, connectivity, cloud services, cybersecurity, and user support.

The Challenge

Preparing for Growth While Reducing Complexity and Cost

Over time, the company's legacy on-premises systems began to limit performance, accessibility, and scalability. Local file servers required constant maintenance, remote access was inconsistent, and device setup was time-consuming. Leadership recognized the need for a modern Microsoft-based environment that would simplify management, improve collaboration, and reduce overall IT costs.

The Solution

Modernizing Infrastructure and Devices Through Microsoft Cloud Services

L3 Networks designed and implemented a phased modernization strategy built on Microsoft's cloud and management ecosystem. The approach focuses on delivering greater security, efficiency, and long-term value from the organization's Microsoft investment.

Key initiatives include:

• Azure Migration – To improve availability, scalability, and cost predictability

• OneDrive Implementation – For secure access to company data from any location

• Intune and Autopilot Deployment – For modern device provisioning and centralized management

• Microsoft 365 Optimization – To align licensing and improve value

• Comprehensive Managed IT Services – Across networking, cloud, and user support

The Results

Increased Efficiency, Lower Overhead, and a Cloud-Ready Future

The ongoing migration to Microsoft Azure and OneDrive is transforming how the company operates. Employees are experiencing faster, more reliable access to company data, and new devices are provisioned in a fraction of the time using Intune and Autopilot. Operational overhead has decreased, security has improved, and the organization now has a scalable cloud platform that supports continued growth and cost transparency.

This project aligns with the Elevate pillars of Cloud and Data Protection, User and Endpoint Services, and Network Infrastructure and Connectivity, helping the company build a stronger and more efficient foundation for the future.
