About the Client
The digital first world demands agility and seamless collaboration. This midsize software company based in Manchester, UK, had been wrestling with outdated hardware systems that choked its potential. In addition, their limited inhouse IT team was overburdened due to multiple client project implementations. The solution? Transitioning to an all-encompassing enterprise mobility solution: Microsoft 365.
The Challenge
The rapidly changing tech landscape survives on agility, scalability and airtight security.

Multiple, disparate tools resulted in inefficient communication, leading to project delays.
The workforce, especially remote teams, found it challenging to access vital resources on the go.
