### The Challenge

Clark Electric has been growing fast—recognized two years in a row as one of Tampa Bay’s 50 fastest-growing companies. But behind the scenes, their IT and cybersecurity were reactive, inconsistent, and handled in-house by a non-technical team member.

**“We didn’t have any real IT or cybersecurity in place. We were relying on one of our staff members to help when something went wrong.” – Danny Clark, CEO**

As their growth accelerated, so did the risk. They needed real infrastructure, real security, and a real partner.

### The Solution

- Vine stepped in as a scaling and security partner, giving Clark Electric the foundation and support they needed to keep growing—without tech holding them back.
- Seamless transition: from internal management to fully managed IT & cybersecurity
- Security-first systems: real-time monitoring, threat prevention, and compliance alignment
- Cloud transformation: full support through their cloud-based ERP migration
- AI enablement: training and consulting to help them use AI as a daily tool
- Fast, proactive support: so the team stays focused and productive
- Scalable tech stack: built to grow with them, not slow them down

**“Now problems get fixed fast. My team stays productive, and I don’t have to think about IT anymore.”**

### The Impact

With Vine, Clark Electric now operates on a secure, modern foundation that supports their explosive growth. They’ve stopped firefighting and started scaling—confident their systems are protected and their team supported.

**“They’re responsive, they follow through, and they do what they say they’ll do.”**

“They’re responsive, they follow through, and they do what they say they’ll do.”
