Vendor Failure → Stability Restored

Rapid stabilization and clear ownership after a support breakdown.

A healthcare and financial services company whose IT vendor's response times became unpredictable regained stable operations in six weeks. Pure Source stabilized Microsoft 365 administration, implemented change discipline and a documented access-control baseline, and established operational reporting - replacing daily fire drills with a predictable support rhythm.
