Overview
Client: Ronald McDonald House of Greater Washington, D.C. (RMHC DC) A mid-sized nonprofit, RMHC DC is a vital part of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area, providing support and housing for families with critically ill children. However, before partnering with Network Depot, their compassionate mission was hindered by a chaotic IT environment that threatened operational efficiency and their ability to serve families effectively.
The Challenge
RMHC DC was struggling with a poorly managed IT infrastructure that created significant roadblocks for their staff. The environment was characterized by:
- Over 32 support tickets per month, ranging from minor glitches to critical system failures.
- Frequent downtime, leading to user frustration and lost productivity.
- A disorganized and outdated network with minimal documentation.
- A reactive IT support model, lacking a proactive strategy.
- Dissatisfaction with their previous IT provider due to slow response times and a lack of accountability.
This disarray not only impacted staff productivity but also diverted valuable time and focus away from their core mission—supporting families in their most critical moments.

Recognizing the need for a strategic partner, RMHC DC made the decision to transition their IT services to Network Depot.
