The Challenge

Howard & Gay Insurance had relied on a previous IT provider for years. The relationship initially worked well, but over time the level of service began to decline.

Support requests required multiple follow-ups. Employees interacted with less experienced technicians. Simple issues often took more than one attempt to resolve. As the brokerage grew, leadership recognized that the company needed a more responsive and scalable IT partner.

Common frustrations included:

Slow ticket resolution
Repeated troubleshooting cycles
Inconsistent technician quality
Less personalized support
Growing internal reliance on technology
No proactive support model
Why RightClick?

It started with a connection

Early interactions with RightClick’s technical lead demonstrated professionalism and efficiency. After that, it was an easy decision.

Howard & Gay Insurance was introduced to RightClick through an existing relationship. The decision to engage came down to trust, responsiveness, and confidence in the RightClick team’s expertise.

Rather than position itself as a remote help desk vendor, RightClick introduced a hands-on, high-touch partnership model.

What RightClick reviewed:

Infrastructure
Security posture
Licensing utilization
Server environments
Operational workflows
Scalability

What RightClick did:

1. Acted as a Virtual CTO with proactive support & strategy

From quarterly check-ins to proactive tech strategy, RightClick became the vCTO that the client needed, handling everything from IT support to procurement to long-term strategy and guidance.

2. Improved onboarding and device setup

RightClick managed new employee technology setup, hardware purchasing & coordination, Microsoft licensing, device deployment, and employee onboarding/offboarding workflows. 

3. Introduced Preventative Maintenance

The engagement shifted the client away from a reactive model toward proactive monitoring and preventative support. This created a more efficient work environment overall, as well as reducing bottlenecks.

4. Maintained senior-level accessibility

David Goldshore stayed actively involved with the account and checked in on support issues, even when he was not directly included in the ticket conversations.

5. Supported strategic technology planning

As the relationship matured, Howard & Gay Insurance began using RightClick for larger technology initiatives, including planning a potential Microsoft Teams phone system migration.
