Full Data Centre Migration to Cloud for National Retail Group

National Retail Group500 users across 18 stores

A national retail group with 18 stores across the UK was operating from a single on-premises data centre whose lease was expiring in 6 months. The data centre housed 12 servers running their e-commerce platform, inventory management, POS integration, customer database, and financial systems. They needed to migrate their entire data centre to the cloud within 6 months — with zero disruption to 24/7 e-commerce operations, no data loss, and a clear cost reduction. They also needed to improve their disaster recovery posture, as the single data centre was a single point of failure. The complexity of migrating 12 interdependent servers across 18 retail locations required a migration partner with deep expertise.

Cloud Transformation Unifies 8 Schools for Multi-Academy Trust

South London Multi-Academy Trust1,800 users across 8 schools

A south London multi-academy trust comprising eight primary and secondary schools was operating eight completely separate IT environments — each with its own servers, Microsoft 365 tenant, security policies, and support arrangements. The fragmented infrastructure meant inconsistent safeguarding controls, no central visibility of student data, patching that varied wildly between schools, and support costs that were spiralling as each school maintained its own server hardware. The trust needed a strategic partner to design a unified cloud architecture, centralise identity and device management, implement consistent safeguarding across all schools, and reduce infrastructure costs — all without disrupting teaching during term time.

Cybersecurity Transformation Protects Beneficiary Data for National Charity

Cybersecurity Transformation Protects Beneficiary Data for National Charity

UK National Health Charity85 users across 4 offices

A national health charity supporting vulnerable beneficiaries across the UK was operating with inadequate cybersecurity controls. They held highly sensitive beneficiary data — health information, personal circumstances, and safeguarding records — but had no multi-factor authentication, no centralised device management, unpatched servers, and no tested backup or disaster recovery. A near-miss phishing attack that almost compromised their beneficiary database was the wake-up call. The charity needed a comprehensive cybersecurity transformation, but with a limited budget typical of the non-profit sector. They needed a partner who understood charity pricing, GDPR requirements for special category data, and the unique challenges of protecting vulnerable people's information.

Cloud Transformation Enables 200% Growth for Recruitment Agency

Central London Recruitment Group120 users across 3 offices

A central London recruitment agency with three offices was running on aging on-premises infrastructure that was holding back their growth. Their Bullhorn CRM was slow, email outages were frequent, remote consultants couldn't access systems reliably from client sites, and their server hardware was approaching end of life with replacement quotes exceeding £45,000. They were winning contracts rapidly and needed to scale from 60 to 180 users within 18 months, but their infrastructure couldn't support that growth. They needed a strategic partner to migrate them to the cloud, modernise their IT infrastructure, and provide a scalable platform that would support their ambitious growth plans — without large upfront capital expenditure.

SCCM & Intune Deployment Centralises Device Management for Healthcare Provider

Regional Healthcare Provider420 users across 6 sites

A regional healthcare provider with six sites across the UK had no centralised device management. Each site managed its own devices independently, leading to inconsistent security configurations, patch levels that varied by months, no visibility into the overall device estate, and no way to enforce compliance with NHS DSP Toolkit requirements. With 420 devices across six locations — including clinical workstations, admin laptops, and mobile devices used by clinicians for remote consultations — they needed a centralised device management solution that would work across all sites, support both on-premises and remote devices, and enforce NHS compliance.

Mimecast Email Security Stops Phishing Campaigns Targeting Accounting Firm

Central London Chartered Accountants55 users

A central London accounting firm was receiving increasingly sophisticated phishing emails targeting their finance team — impersonation attacks designed to trick staff into changing client bank details for tax refund payments. Three near-miss incidents in six months had nearly resulted in fraudulent transfers totalling £180,000. Their existing email security (Office 365's built-in protection) was not catching these targeted attacks, and they needed enterprise-grade email security that could detect impersonation, block phishing, and provide continuity during outages — all while meeting ICAEW compliance requirements for email retention and audit trails.

Windows Server Management Eliminates Unplanned Downtime for Precision Manufacturer

UK Precision Engineering Group160 users across 2 factories

A UK precision engineering manufacturer was losing an average of 18 hours per month to unplanned Windows Server downtime — each hour costing approximately £4,200 in lost production time, delayed shipments, and idle staff. Their servers were unpatched, Active Directory was messy with stale accounts and excessive admin rights, Group Policy was inconsistent, and backups had never been tested. Over 12 months, unplanned downtime had cost them £907,000 in lost production. They needed a proactive Windows Server management partner who could stabilise their environment, prevent failures, and keep their 24/7 production lines running.

VMware Virtualization Cuts Infrastructure Costs by 65% for Construction Group

National Construction Group220 users across 5 sites

A national construction group with five regional offices was running 12 physical servers across their sites — many underutilised, aging, and increasingly expensive to maintain. Hardware maintenance contracts cost £38,000 per year, power and cooling bills were spiralling, and four servers were approaching end-of-warranty with replacement quotes exceeding £55,000. They needed a strategic partner to consolidate their infrastructure, reduce costs dramatically, and provide ongoing management — without disrupting their 24/7 project operations or site office connectivity. They also needed to maintain ISO 9001 certification throughout the consolidation.

VMware Virtualization Cuts Infrastructure Costs by 65% for London Architecture Practice

London Architecture Practice25 users

A London architecture practice with 25 staff was running 4 physical servers — each hosting different applications including their CAD software licence server, file server, email server, and a legacy project archive. The servers were 5 years old, hardware maintenance cost £18,000 per year, and two servers were approaching end of warranty with replacement quotes exceeding £35,000. Power and cooling bills were spiralling, and when any server failed, the practice lost access to critical CAD files and project archives. They needed to consolidate their infrastructure, reduce costs, and improve reliability without disrupting active architectural projects.
