Manual provisioning can just barely work when your team is small and local. But once New Relic’s headcount ballooned and teams spread globally, their in-house IT model collapsed under the weight.
Provisioning, imaging, shipping, tracking, returning — repeat. “We were spending entire days imaging laptops, creating accounts, coordinating with FedEx.”
Global growth introduced customs headaches, regional compliance laws, and local vendor gaps. New Relic couldn’t hire IT in every country, and their tools weren’t built for global coordination.
“We needed every device to come back clean, certified, and accounted for — with no gaps.” Without tight lifecycle control, risk becomes exponential — and so does liability.
“Without Firstbase, we wouldn’t have been able to scale while reducing our IT team. They’ve become a strategic lever for New Relic.”
– Thomas Olson, IT Program Manager @ New Relic
