Mark Anthony Group: Strengthening Digital Foundations Through a Three-Year Partnership

Mark Anthony Group (MAG) is one of North America's fastest-growing beverage companies, with a diverse portfolio and a strong growth trajectory. As their operations scaled rapidly across teams and geographies, the need for a more resilient and secure IT foundation became mission-critical.

‍

Device onboarding processes were inconsistent, leading to delays in getting users fully operational. Endpoint management lacked the automation and scalability needed to support a growing, mobile workforce. Gaps in security left the environment vulnerable to emerging threats, and compliance requirements were becoming harder to meet and sustain.

Beyond the immediate technical challenges, MAG’s internal IT teams also needed to plan for future growth and scale. They needed better tools to manage a rapidly expanding ecosystem of devices, stronger visibility into system health, and governance frameworks that could keep pace with the company’s evolving regulatory landscape.

To continue scaling without disruption, MAG required a technology partner that could move quickly, deliver lasting improvements across every layer of their environment, and position them for secure, sustainable growth in the years ahead.

‍

Working closely with Mark Anthony Group’s IT and leadership teams, BITSUMMIT delivered a comprehensive, phased modernization program designed to strengthen the company’s digital foundation:

• Building scalable, secure systems
• Automating and streamlining endpoint management
• Embedding compliance from the ground up
• Empowering internal teams for long-term independence

Device Management & Modernization: BITSUMMIT standardized device provisioning with Windows Autopilot, helping MAG onboard Windows and Apple devices faster and more securely. We also improved Azure Active Directory hygiene to strengthen identity management, creating a scalable and compliant authentication environment.

Security & Compliance Frameworks: We worked with MAG’s IT team to deploy modern BYOD policies, strengthen endpoint protection by removing vulnerable software, and integrate Okta with Intune for tighter access control. BITSUMMIT also helped streamline compliance by embedding proactive patching standards, simplifying audit processes, and reinforcing governance frameworks to meet evolving regulatory needs.

Automation & Reporting: To boost operational efficiency, BITSUMMIT automated OS updates with Windows Update Auto-Patch and deployed real-time dashboards for proactive endpoint monitoring. We also secured Microsoft Endpoint Manager environments with regular configuration backups to maintain disaster recovery readiness.

Application Lifecycle Management: We improved user productivity by packaging and deploying over 30 critical applications, while building knowledge bases that empowered MAG’s IT teams to independently manage and evolve their environments.

Patch Management as a Service: Through our Patch Management as a Service offering, BITSUMMIT deployed consistent server patching, vulnerability assessment, and compliance reporting, helping Mark Anthony Group reduce security risks and maintain an audit-ready infrastructure.

Endpoint Manager Managed Services: BITSUMMIT designed, maintained, and optimized MAG’s Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Azure Active Directory environments, aligning with best practices to strengthen device and identity management across the organization.

Today, Mark Anthony Group operates on a stronger, smarter digital foundation built for resilience and growth. Across every layer of their IT environment, BITSUMMIT’s modernization efforts have delivered measurable impact:

• Faster device onboarding across Windows and Apple platforms, enabling employees to stay productive from day one.
• Strengthened security baselines, reducing risk exposure and better protecting MAG's expanding digital footprint.
• Streamlined compliance processes, turning audit preparation into a proactive, manageable operation.
• Automated patching and system monitoring, freeing internal IT teams from manual overhead and enabling a focus on innovation.
• Empowered IT teams with knowledge bases and governance frameworks to confidently scale and adapt to evolving business needs.
• Reduced operational risk and downtime through consistent system health monitoring and disaster recovery readiness.

Through hundreds of service engagements, BITSUMMIT’s focus on outcomes has helped MAG increase agility, enhance cybersecurity, and unlock new levels of operational flexibility. As we proudly enter the third year of our partnership, the foundation we’ve built together continues to drive real business value and sets the stage for even greater innovation ahead.

The BITSUMMIT Approach

‍

Modernizing IT environments isn’t just about deploying new tools. It’s about building systems that are resilient, secure, and scalable. When you work with BITSUMMIT, here’s what changes:

• We assess with business outcomes in mind. Before making recommendations, we map your current infrastructure, risk posture, and operational bottlenecks to ensure every action drives measurable improvement.
• We design for resilience, not rework. Every device, identity system, and governance control is built to scale cleanly, survive audits, and reduce operational overhead.
• We operationalize quickly and with precision. From device provisioning to endpoint protection and compliance frameworks, we deliver structured sprints that accelerate readiness without disruption.
• We build self-sufficiency into your teams. No black boxes, no mysteries. We document, train, and transfer knowledge so your IT teams can manage and evolve with confidence.
• We stay engaged after launch. Governance, system health, cost control—we continue monitoring and optimizing your environment as it grows and changes.
