Challenge
Many businesses depend heavily on their IT systems to run efficiently and securely. Express Vending became aware that they needed an infrastructure review to see if they could refresh some of their systems to run more efficiently.
Solution
Our technical consultancy team carried out an infrastructure review for Express, concluding that their onsite servers should be decommissioned, and moved to Azure. Moving to the cloud would give them increased up-time of their business-critical applications, and better value on their spending, because reducing servers on site by half would reduce running costs and save physical space in their office.
To deliver the Azure migration, our experts ran a project that consisted of
- An Active Directory clean-up
- Pulse multi-factor authentication
- Network segregation
- Migrating to Azure
- Decommissioning of old and legacy servers
- Maintenance and patching
- Communications and project management
This was all carried out without any impact to end users.
Outcome
The project was a success and Express are now using Azure, keeping them at the forefront of technological advancements.
As technology develops the Azure service will enable Express Vending continued access to the latest technologies and innovations.
Coupled with T-Tech’s alliance with Microsoft and in-house skills, Express Vending have every opportunity to lead their market with the services they provide.
