FIT Technologies supports a financial client with ambitious growth goals…and a playbook to match. Their strategy? Mergers and acquisitions, executed on a tight 90-day cadence, each one demanding a seamless IT migration under strict timelines and compliance requirements.
Acquisitions came quickly and consistently, with every new entity needing secure, efficient onboarding that wouldn’t disrupt business operations, all within a highly regulated industry.
“What’s special about the financial sector is the heightened security need, given that they are a prime target for bad actors today. And with that comes the compliance and regulatory needs — the “always-on” from an audit perspective,” says Jason Collins, Chief Information Security Officer at FIT Technologies.
To keep pace, FIT needed more than extra hands. They needed a partner who could plug into their process and deliver repeatable, compliant migrations, without overwhelming the team.
That’s when they turned to Pax8 Professional Services.
How Pax8 Helped
Pax8 Professional Services showed up with intention. They asked the right questions, embedded with the FIT team and got to work building a migration framework tailored to the financial client’s aggressive growth strategy.
Together, FIT and Pax8 developed an approach that mirrored the client’s acquisition cadence. They standardized technical workflows, clarified roles across teams and built a rhythm that balanced speed with control — all while ensuring regulatory and security requirements were fully met.
“Resource contention is a real thing. So the biggest challenge for us is the timing at which they want things executed and being able to flex up to meet those requirements or those needs,” Jason explained. The outcome was more than just operational efficiency. Pax8 helped transform a high-pressure process into one that delivered predictable, high-quality results with every merger and acquisition.
By fitting seamlessly into FIT’s process and priorities, Pax8 enabled growth without disruption and helped set a new standard for how M&A migrations could be done.
