Comprehensive Review

Pre-engagement, Oh-Tech conducted a comprehensive review of the OAG business structure, values, goals, and pain points. This in-depth analysis allowed the team to pinpoint areas where their services could significantly benefit OAG. They identified opportunities for cost and time savings through strategic improvements.

Ocean Automotive Group (OAG) needed comprehensive IT support to optimise their dealership operations. Relying at the time on a third-party provider, the company faced limitations as well as high costs, and initially sought Oh-Tech’s support to supplement its in-house provision. Soon after OAG engaged Oh-Tech, the inhouse team member left the company, and Oh-Tech assumed full responsibility for IT, putting one of its team members on-site, and backing this with its service desk.

“Oh-Tech’s deep understanding of dealerships was evident in their network redesign, which has delivered significant cost-savings year after year. Their fully managed IT system proved more cost effective than previous solutions, and provided us with a team of multiple IT engineers. This robust support has virtually eliminated our IT headaches.”
