The Kaleidoscope Group: Modernizes and Adapts to a Fully Hybrid Workforce with Minimal Disruptions

Professional Services | Global Reach | Hybrid Workforce

Client Overview

The Kaleidoscope Group is a leading consultancy serving Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies, nonprofits, and higher education institutions across the US, Europe, and Asia. With a distributed team of approximately 50 employees and contractors using both Windows and Mac platforms, Kaleidoscope relies heavily on cloud services to deliver results to its clients.

Business Challenge

As Kaleidoscope grew in both headcount and geographic scope, its aging IT infrastructure struggled to support its hybrid, mobile workforce. Leadership needed a technology partner who could modernize their systems, ensure consistent uptime, and support global operations without expanding internal IT headcount.

Office Relocation & Infrastructure Rebuild: 

  • Led the technology transition during the move from Kaleidoscope’s River North office, ensuring zero disruption to client work during relocation.
