Flex-IT approach

Project
To develop server & network services capable of supporting efficiency, security & growth -
Timeframe
We liaised with stakeholders and managers on a phased approach to minimise disruption.
In this project, addressing data security was a priority. We provided cloud Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and updated the existing firewall version and subscriptions.
The provision of laptops and mobile devices, along with Microsoft 360 installation and migration, enabled the team to operate remotely. This flexibility was an essential requirement for Autotrack’s future expansion.

Our solutions transformed the ICT infrastructure. The increasing efficiencies, capacity and security were a critical step-change in Autotrack’s growth. The new systems and configuration offer the flexibility to expand in harmony with the future user and business needs.
