Watch how Pivotal West Engineering revolutionized their IT infrastructure with the help of Continuum.

Project Overview:

While the benefits of moving certain business applications to the cloud are widely understood, many organisations can be reticent to make the change – often for fear of disrupting their day-to-day processes, making an existing technology investment redundant, or risking the security of their data. With Taylor Lewis, however, the opposite was the case.

Challenge:

Like many businesses today, the management team at a Taylor Lewis struggled with their IT systems. During the company’s start -up phase, they inherited several old computers as part of a sublease agreement on their new office space. What seemed like a bargain for this brand new company turned out to be a major headache. With old equipment patched together by nothing more than a part-time computer handyman, they were having connectivity issues and problems with data access, file sharing and backup, along with virus and security concerns.

Solution:

Internal and remote users can now easily collaborate and share documents, printers and other important system resources. Appropriate e-mail retention and virtually unlimited storage could now be implemented to facilitate proper reporting and data retention compliance. Also, as a result of centralized file sharing, the number of e-mail attachments was greatly reduced and substantially reduced the individual mailbox folder size.
