CUSTOMER STORIES
Trusted by Mission‑Critical Organisations
Strengthening Cyber Security & IT Support for IEEFA
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) is a global, not‑for‑profit research organisation producing high‑impact analysis on energy markets, policy and economics. Operating as a fully remote organisation, IEEFA relies on secure, reliable technology to support analysts and researchers across APAC, North America, Europe and South Asia.
As the organisation expanded rapidly in the APAC region, its existing US‑based managed service provider was no longer able to deliver real‑time IT support across time zones, creating delays and operational friction for staff working to tight research deadlines.
The Challenge
IEEFA needed an IT partner that could:
- Provide real‑time IT support for APAC‑based staff
- Support a globally distributed, fully remote workforce
- Strengthen cyber security controls to protect sensitive research data
- Deliver consistent, scalable managed services aligned to the organisation’s growth
With almost half of its workforce operating in APAC, delays in system access and issue resolution were directly impacting productivity and collaboration.
The KMTech Solution
KMT partnered with IEEFA to deliver managed IT services and cyber security support tailored to a global, remote operating model.
KMT provided:
- Dedicated APAC‑aligned managed IT support
- Proactive system monitoring and issue resolution
- Strengthened cyber security controls to support a remote workforce
- Ongoing IT management designed to scale with IEEFA’s global operations
By acting as a trusted extension of IEEFA’s technology function, KMT enabled the organisation to maintain secure, reliable access to critical systems across regions and time zones.
The Outcome
With KMT as its managed IT services partner, IEEFA gained:
- Reliable, real‑time IT support for APAC staff
- Improved stability across collaboration and research platforms
- Stronger cyber security to protect sensitive research and data
- Confidence that IT could support the organisation’s global mission
“We are an entirely remote organisation now, and supporting that across so many time zones is a real IT challenge.”
— Sarah Johnston, IT Manager, IEEFA
