In the last seven years, baseVISION and LGT have built a strong and long-term partnership focused on improving IT security, endpoint management, and digital transformation. As cyber threats evolved and the demands of the modern workplace changed, LGT relied on baseVISION as a reliable partner and advisor to accompany and support them in numerous important IT initiatives. This long-standing collaboration has led to a more secure, efficient, and modernized IT environment, positioning LGT optimally for future success.
Type of Collaboration
Throughout the partnership, baseVISION and LGT agreed that the IT service provider’s commitment should always be based on the following principles: continuously sharing expertise and insights to empower the internal IT team, quickly training internal staff in new technologies and methods, bringing in industry-leading know-how to optimize implementations and operations, and providing additional expertise and resources as needed to ensure project continuity and success. This approach ensured that LGT not only benefited from the provided solutions but also developed internal capabilities to maintain and expand these improvements in the long term.
Challenge
Over the years, LGT faced various evolving challenges, including the initial use of Windows 10 LTSB, which limited their ability to introduce new security and management features, a fragmented IT workspace landscape with multiple solutions for managing and deploying endpoint configurations, the need to transition from a standard antivirus solution to a more advanced cybersecurity approach, planned cloud adoptions requiring a stable foundation for a seamless transition, and a growing need for modern endpoint management to support hybrid workplaces and remote users.
Solution
In the last seven years, baseVISION has supported LGT in two clearly defined areas: Endpoint Management and Security & Identity Management. In the area of Endpoint Management, baseVISION provided long-term strategic consulting and targeted consultations, supporting LGT in implementing key IT transformations. These included the transition from Windows 10 LTSB to Windows 10 SAC to enable feature updates and security enhancements, the establishment and enforcement of security configurations to enhance protection against cyber threats, support in migrating from Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to Microsoft Intune for modern endpoint management and cloud readiness, support for the rollout strategy for Windows 11 to ensure a seamless transition with optimized configurations, enabling cloud PC solutions via Windows 365 to support flexible work environments and increase employee productivity, and the development of a structured Technology Adoption Framework that allows LGT to efficiently test and introduce new technologies and changes on their endpoints. This framework empowers the endpoint IT team to involve predefined user groups as early adopters for new solutions before a broader rollout.
Beyond endpoint management, baseVISION played a crucial role in supporting LGT in the introduction and optimization of security-related solutions in the areas of SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and Identity Management. This included support in the implementation and optimization of Microsoft Sentinel for enhanced threat detection, security analytics, and incident response, the implementation of Advanced Threat Protection and security monitoring via Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, support in transitioning to Microsoft Entra ID for secure identity management and access control, and the establishment of automated security policies and monitoring frameworks to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize risks.
