Client Stories

Autotrak Portable Roadways Ltd

Autotrak Portable Roadways Ltd is an established Oxfordshire business. The company had growth potential, yet this was being hindered by inefficient systems and outdated IT infrastructure. They were looking for a flexible IT solution that would evolve with the business.

Favouring a local IT provider, their project manager got in touch. In discussions, we discovered that teams working on-site had no access to internal systems, resulting in inefficiencies. Software and network services needed updating and we identified gaps in data protection and business continuity planning.

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.

    Conclusion

    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.
