Case Study

Over the years HBP have been able to provide technical solutions in terms of scalability and flexibility as the company have grown, especially in the last 5 years. The business had reached the critical mass to push it to the Cloud, and the most recent project was a full-scale migration of all IT services.

Transforming the way the business works, the Cloud has been seen internally as an intimidating, abstract concept for many, but from a user perspective the benefits that are offered are generally ease of access of information both quickly and securely. Having multiple sites with many remote users, moving to a Cloud solution was the next logical step in the company’s development.

"In terms of the migration itself, it was done really effectively really quickly and with very very little downtime, and in terms of afterwards our users really didn’t see too much difference between what they had before. Ultimately the migration will help us achieve a better customer response."

The project has enabled peace of mind regarding how the business’ core data was stored, so they can now focus resources on developing and growing the business. Data security, which is such an important factor in Ulrick & Short’s industry has been increased to protect their integrity and benefit the trust element of their brand to their customers.

The relationship between Ulrick & Short and their specialist IT Support provider has gone from strength to strength, and this latest project is a testament to that partnership.

The company continue to benefit from on-going proactive IT and structure project services offered by HBP. This enables them to continue to grow the business and get more customers whilst their infrastructure is managed by a group of specialists on their behalf. Ulrick & Short take a very active role in the management of their network and systems, but support is proactive with consultancy, dedicated maintenance and project time built in to the contract.
