Case Study: Operational Transformation
A former cryptocurrency mining facility in Georgia struggled with operational efficiency after conversion to AI hosting, resulting in frequent service disruptions and customer dissatisfaction.
Our team implemented a comprehensive operational management solution that included:
- Implementation of PRTG monitoring with custom sensors for AI infrastructure
- Deployment of Zendesk for structured ticket management and customer communication
- Implementation of Ubersmith for resource tracking and automated billing
- Development of comprehensive SOPs and staff training programs
Result: The facility achieved a 99.99% uptime over the following six months, reduced mean time to resolution by 78%, and significantly improved customer satisfaction scores.
