Case Studies
Abussi – the Birmingham IT Support Specialists
Bringing Email and Data Together
 |
Abussi implemented a Hosted Exchange service which allowed a PC, laptop and smartphone to work from the same mailbox thus offering fully synchronized email, calendar and contacts across all devices. A DropBox Cloud Storage service was also implemented which allowed data to be shared with external partners. This too was then available on the various devices, resulting in seamless access to vital data and communications regardless of location. |
Creating a Stable Platform for Business
 |
A existing selection of IT hardware was of an age where replacement was being considered and the email system used was an out of date POP3 system. No effective central server was in place to hold vital business data and user information was held on a “per PC‟ basis rather than centrally to aid efficient working practices. Abussi supplied an all new hardware platform with 5 new HP Desktop PC‟s and a new HP server running Microsoft Small Business Server. |
Using the Cloud to do Business.… Anywhere
 |
Originally based in Cambridge, icould was looking to introduce more flexible working arrangements for its staff, which are based all over the Midlands, East Anglia and South East. As the icould team are required to visit many locations and to present with video, a reliable method of accessing this data was needed. icould were using a file storage / email system in Cambridge with VPN links back to each user. However, with the need to support remote working linked with the planned relocation it was not going to be viable going forward. |
‘Cloud’ Storage for Security and Backup
 |
Aspire Sports were using a file storage system, setup some time ago, on an internal network. The system was not meeting the needs of the business in a number of areas and was beginning to suffer from periods of failure, leading to unproductive staff. There had also been a need recently to provide access to data for staff while “n the field” or working from home. A solution was required which provided secure storage, but in multiple locations. |
Using Managed Services to increase reliability
 |
Monteith Scott had grown rapidly as a business, but their IT was still based around sole-trader principles. They needed to consolidate their IT into a single outsourced cost centre, removing the management burden from internal staff and leading to greater reliability and expertise that benefitted the business longer term. |
Flexible working with Citrix and VoIP
 |

As Quantum grew, the need to add new staff would increase and the easier this was the better. The company were also looking to open offices in London and needed a way to work seamlessly in either location on the company’s core database, while communicating via an integrated phone system. |
Branch Office ADSL Failover / Backup & VoIP
 |
This technical Case Study shows how Maguire Jackson link two sites over a single connection. They operate from a head office with 8 staff and a branch office with 5 staff, using two specialist IT systems both hosted at the main office, and require continuous Internet access for all company employees. In addition to the data networking requirement Maguire Jackson wanted to take advantage of VoIP (Voice over IP) to make free calls between the two offices and employee’s homes. |
VoIP and Data for New Business
 |
When setting up a new office, Symmetry PI needed to ensure that it was operational quickly, while retaining a close control over Data and Voice costs.
