Scaling from 10 to 80 Employees Without an Internal IT Department

When a boutique financial consultancy in Limassol began growing rapidly, their ad-hoc IT approach quickly became a liability. They needed enterprise-grade infrastructure and support — but hiring a full IT department was neither practical nor cost-effective.

The Challenge

Founded with just 10 employees, the firm relied on a mix of consumer-grade tools and informal tech support. As they began onboarding new team members at an accelerating pace, critical problems emerged: inconsistent security policies, frequent network disruptions, and zero centralised management of endpoints and user accounts.

Key Pain Points

  • No centralised IT management — each employee managed their own device and software
  • Security gaps increasing with each new hire, posing compliance risks
  • Network outages causing 3-4 hours of lost productivity per week
  • No structured onboarding process for new employees' IT needs

The leadership team faced a dilemma: build an internal IT department — which would require at least 2-3 specialised hires, significant overhead, and months of setup — or find an external partner who could serve as their full IT department from day one.

Our solution

Telediexodos was brought on as the firm’s fully outsourced IT department. Rather than simply providing break-fix support, we embedded ourselves as a strategic partner — designing, implementing, and managing the entire IT ecosystem from the ground up.
