Case Study: How OnPoint Group Strengthened IT Security and Simplified Cloud Migrations with DMC Technology Group

Client Background

OnPoint Group is the only national material handling and facility services organization, proudly ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies. With 2,000 employees across more than 50 locations, OnPoint supports clients nationwide with unmatched expertise in maintaining mission-critical operations.

As the organization expanded rapidly through acquisitions, its IT team faced mounting challenges in managing integrations and ensuring a secure, unified digital environment. Key team members involved in driving IT initiatives turned to DMC to help navigate these transitions.

The Challenge

Rapid growth brought technical hurdles that OnPoint’s internal IT staff couldn’t fully address:

• Complex O365 Migrations: OnPoint needed a reliable process to migrate new acquisitions into its Office 365 tenant, including email, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
  
• Cybersecurity Gaps: Without around-the-clock monitoring, potential threats could go undetected—posing catastrophic risks.
  
• Exchange Server Risk: Upgrading their hybrid Exchange server came with the possibility of downtime or failures, but they lacked in-house experts.
  

If these issues weren’t solved, OnPoint risked data loss, increased IT complexity, undetected cyber threats, and business disruptions.

Why DMC Technology Group

OnPoint turned to DMC Technology Group based on a trusted referral. Unlike larger technology providers, DMC offered specialized expertise with a personal, hands-on approach.

“DMC is a key partner with our IT strategy. They're more than just a partner, they're an extension of our team.”

OnPoint engaged DMC for cybersecurity, cloud solutions, professional services, and value-added reseller (VAR) support—services that would form the backbone of their IT transformation.

The Solution

Starting in 2016, DMC became a long-term strategic partner for OnPoint’s IT team. Together, they implemented solutions designed for both immediate challenges and future scalability:

• Seamless M&A Cloud Migrations: Using tools like BitTitan and ShareGate, DMC ensured that data from newly acquired companies was smoothly migrated into OnPoint’s O365 tenant.
  
• Enhanced Cybersecurity Monitoring: With Arctic Wolf 24/7/365 monitoring, OnPoint gained visibility and proactive protection against cyber threats.
  
• Reliable Exchange Upgrades: DMC provided expert guidance and execution to safely upgrade OnPoint’s hybrid Exchange environment.
  

DMC team members worked side by side with OnPoint’s IT staff to implement these solutions.

The Results

Partnering with DMC Technology Group delivered measurable improvements:

• Reduced Environment Footprint & Lower Costs: Consolidating systems simplified management and cut unnecessary expenses.
  
• Stronger Security Posture: With continuous monitoring, OnPoint gained peace of mind knowing threats are caught before they escalate.
  
• Improved Compliance & Insurance Savings: Their enhanced security environment directly led to reduced cybersecurity insurance costs.
  
• Operational Ease: IT upgrades and migrations became streamlined, reliable, and stress-free.

“DMC gives you the wealth of knowledge you’d expect from the biggest partners in the space all while giving you that personalized feel.”

OnPoint continues to partner with DMC for O365 migrations, ongoing Arctic Wolf monitoring, and strategic IT initiatives. Whenever new technology needs arise, DMC is their first call.
