Town of Freeport Maine Chooses Winxnet for IT Managed Services

 

MAINE, April 26, 2011 — Municipalities that outsource their IT support gain increased efficiency, a return to focus on municipal business, improved quality, access to talent and innovation, operational expertise, and capacity management. Such is the case with the town of Freeport, Maine, which engaged Winxnet to provide IT support, including the town’s internal network, messaging, IT strategy, and budgeting.

 

Portland-based Winxnet provides complete IT solutions for a wide range of businesses and municipalities. Their discovery and consequent understanding of Freeport’s technology needs resulted in a complete management solution that Winxnet will deliver to the town 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week. Says Abbe Yacoben, Freeport IT Coordinator, “The town of Freeport conducted a thorough RFP process with the neighboring town of Yarmouth, received several qualified bids, and ultimately chose Winxnet because of their reputation for high-quality technical ability, understanding of municipal IT needs, and pricing structure. We are already pleased with the service we have received since awarding the contract.”

 

By choosing Winxnet to provide management for its IT department, Freeport will experience many business benefits, including lower hardware costs and exclusive access to Winxnet’s 24/7/365 remote monitoring system. This system will watch over all of Freeport’s network devices and applications. Winxnet will also perform numerous upgrades for the town’s IT department.
