Sequentur
Delivering the Power of Microsoft with Improved Cybersecurity

Organizational performance hinges significantly on the power of collaboration. When employees and teams seamlessly collaborate, businesses can tap into a wellspring of creative innovation at every turn.

For decades, organizations have relied on Microsoft tools to connect, collaborate, and boost productivity. However, in the modern business world, where physical IT infrastructure has morphed into cloud-based systems, the freedom of communication comes at a price; greater exposure to cyberthreats.

Sequentur, an agile managed service provider (MSP), brings the capabilities of Microsoft solutions to businesses with an acute specialization in cybersecurity, delivered through its knowledgeable team of engineers.

Microsoft and Cybersecurity—A Recipe for Success

For both seasoned and new users, Microsoft represents freedom in business communications. Its infrastructure and collaboration tools allow employees to communicate effectively with peers and partners and accelerate innovation.

As a professional consultant, Sequentur keeps its clients on the cutting edge of technology while ensuring they make safe investments in IT that offer the best returns in terms of finance and expansion

“However, striking a balance between communicating freely and protecting the IT infrastructure from threats is important,” says Roman Gruzdev, CEO and CTO at Sequentur.

By combining the best of Microsoft technologies with real-life cybersecurity experience, Sequentur ensures clients remain protected from both internal and external risks. It facilitates an ideal environment where employees can safely collaborate and be part of a team that delivers results.

Sequentur, a long-standing Microsoft Gold Partner, routinely showcases cybersecurity capabilities that are not solely limited to implementation. It also considers threats that may emerge in the future and provides disaster recovery solutions and backup measures to protect clients from ransomware, phishing, and other attacks. Sequentur assesses clients’ systems and takes proactive measures to ensure they can continue operating even in the case of a cyberattack or a lockout by ransomware. From simple misconfigurations to targeted attacks and natural disasters, the company’s services facilitate uninterrupted operations in the face of challenges.

A Methodical Approach to Improving IT Infrastructure

In recent years, businesses have had to adapt to a dynamic technology landscape filled with uncertainties. For instance, AI was slowly making its way into business processes a few years ago. Fast forward to the present, applications like ChatGPT have taken the world by storm. Many organizations fail to evolve and adapt to these emerging technologies at the required pace. At the same time, hurried and unplanned adoption of technologies can have a negative impact.

Sequentur addresses these challenges by analyzing the trends and guiding clients on the right path to technology implementation.

“The capabilities of our engineers enable us to analyze existing data sets and correctly make predictions. As a professional consultant, Sequentur keeps its clients on the cutting edge of technology while ensuring they make safe investments in IT that offer the best returns in terms of finance and expansion," says Gruzdev.

Data points from multiple customers are analyzed to identify the elements that drive significant change. Through this, the impact of the change is traced back to the technologies best suited for implementation.

Technologies with the potential to help clients communicate better, grow their business, improve IT functions, or discover potential threats are constantly assessed. Those that rise to the top are implemented for customers across the board.

”Clients need to establish and follow their own policy for different workflows, whether it’s invoice capture reports or payments. We guide them along the process using solutions like Microsoft Dynamics”

During technology implementation, the team performs cybersecurity assessments and ensures every possible data set has been touched upon for evidence of personally identifiable information or any cybersecurity compromise. Security is further guaranteed when the collected data is transferred to Microsoft ecosystems like Azure, SharePoint, or Dynamics 365. These out-of-the-box solutions, combined with continuous security monitoring, keep customer data safe at all times and increase productivity.

At Sequentur, the ultimate solution is to take everything to Microsoft. Once the data is in Microsoft Cloud, the problems cease to exist for customers. To date, native compromises like crypto ransomware or other malware have not been identified in Microsoft tools, guaranteeing unparalleled data safety.

Sequentur also focuses on helping clients stay compliant with various standards, like the cybersecurity maturity model certification and Service Organization Control Type 2 (SOC 2). The required data for SOC 2 compliance is often scattered across systems, making it difficult to certify organizations. By taking the data to Microsoft Cloud, clients are guaranteed to accomplish their compliance requirements.

Touching All Bases Before Implementation

Sequentur understands that while Microsoft may not be the best solution for everyone, instances where it cannot address a client’s pain points are rare.

The team analyzes the requirements of each customer and ensures that the products are the right fit before implementation. In most cases, customers prioritize financial benefits while adopting new technologies. The team takes the initiative to educate them on the additional benefits of Microsoft, like improved security and collaboration.

Over the years, Sequentur has helped companies across different industries meet their objectives, including some of the largest players in finance and robotics manufacturing. More often than not, its clients fall into the bracket of companies that register rapid growth and develop innovative products. The intuitive solutions from its clients need to be introduced to the market as quickly as possible, and Sequentur provides the best avenue to achieve this.

It also helps clients overcome challenges in deploying new technologies, including scaling the software. Lack of standard administration is another obstacle that may hinder the application of new technologies. While these are challenges that need to be solved internally by clients, Sequentur knows how to assist them.

“Clients need to establish and follow their own policy for different workflows, whether it’s invoice capture reports or payments. We guide them along the process using solutions like Microsoft Dynamics,” says Gruzdev.

Passion and Experience—The Key to a Productive Team

At the heart of Sequentur’s success is a highly skilled team of engineers that combine technical expertise with real-world experience to serve its diverse clients. It encourages a culture where the team members complement each other with their talent and expertise. The ample technical resources at its disposal, combined with quick customer service response and the ability to learn and adapt under pressure, create the perfect recipe for remarkable customer service. A 98 percent case resolution rate within the first 24 hours is a testament to its team’s efficiency.

The expertise of its team has been key to the numerous accolades Sequentur has collected over the years. It was recently ranked among the world’s top MSPs in the 2023 Channel Futures MSP 501 rankings. By staying true to its vision of creating a corporate world where IT is an essential tool of continued advancement and efficiency, Sequentur has made a significant leap in the rankings, from 48th in 2022 to 13th this year. It has also been named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies for the second consecutive year.

“We are grateful to be recognized alongside our peers and look forward to continuing our climb in the rankings in the coming years,” says Gruzdev.

Dedicated to helping customers improve and protect their IT infrastructure, the company aims to increase its portfolio of Microsoft services in the coming months. Keeping clients and their data secure and assisting them with compliance certifications remains the priority for Sequentur.
