We Found Out Why Their Employees Were Losing 30 Minutes Every Day

A construction firm called us about slow logins and missing files. Standard IT complaints.

When we audited their system, we found the real problem: they were paying for solutions that were creating the problems.

Over the years, they'd worked with multiple IT providers. Each one added their own policies and configurations. Nobody ever removed what came before.

The result? Years of conflicting rules:

• Employees got different settings depending on which computer they used

• Files disappeared because multiple policies fought over where things should live

• Login times unpredictable—sometimes fast, usually slow

• New hires took three days to get access

• Network drives worked for some people but not others

Every "fix" was just another patch on top of the mess.

Do the math: 25 employees losing 30 minutes daily equals 3,000 hours annually. At average billing rates, that's six figures gone. Plus projects delayed, client deadlines missed, and your best people fighting computers instead of doing their jobs.

What We Did

We audited everything—every Group Policy, folder redirection setting, and network drive mapping. Then presented two options: retire legacy policies or migrate to Microsoft's modern OneDrive standard.

We migrated every file with full backups and validation. Tested with pilot users. Rolled it out company-wide.

Zero data lost. Zero disruption.

Login times dropped from minutes to seconds. Files stopped disappearing. New employee onboarding went from three days to two hours. Support tickets essentially stopped.

The leadership team said their IT finally felt like an asset instead of an obstacle.

Three Signs You Have This Problem

1. Inconsistent experiences - Different results on different computers

2. Slow logins - What should take seconds takes minutes

3. Recurring issues - Same problems keep coming back after being "fixed"

Sound familiar? You're probably sitting on years of conflicting IT decisions.

What To Do Next

Get a real audit. Not a sales pitch. An actual technical review of your Group Policies and configurations.

Ask the hard question. Are your IT solutions fixing root causes or patching symptoms?

Calculate the real cost. What does your team actually lose to IT friction daily?

Demand documentation. If your provider can't explain what policies are active and why, that's a red flag.

Modern IT should be predictable, stable, and invisible. If it's not, you're paying twice—once for the service, again in lost productivity.

This is one more reason why finding the right IT partner is crucial for your company’s success.

Until next week,
