Samac Construction
THE ORGANISATION
Samac specialises in the commercial property sector, both refurbishing and maintaining properties across London and the South East. Established in 1995, Samac has an experienced team providing an exceptional standard of service to our growing client base.
THE CHALLENGE
Samac came to Qlic as their server was at the end of its warranty and out of life. Samac was looking to get better business continuity to enable flexible working for their staff.
THE APPROACH
Qlic recommended migration to SharePoint as this offered multiple benefits and improvements to the current setup. For Samac, alongside remote access, the main advantages of SharePoint included:
- Disaster recovery
- Zero Downtime
- Flexible Working across PC, mobile and tablet
- Additional security benefits
THE RESULTS
One of the main benefits that Samac immediately realised was the ability for all staff members to work remotely using Microsoft 365. This has allowed more flexible working and staff members can now access their files on all devices.
Samac also has the added peace of mind that an efficient and robust business continuity plan is now in place.
Anti-Virus and Microsoft 365 subscriptions have improved network security and have helped towards GDPR compliance.
KEY OUTCOMES
TESTIMONIAL
“We have been working with Qlic for the last 15 years and have found the team second to none. The installation of the new server followed the changing of several PC’s within the office a few months before and was worked to our quiet time of the year. The 2 engineers were in over a weekend and completed the install on time and with very little problems. They were in with our team first thing on the Monday after, going over any niggles or problems found and stayed with us for most of the morning explaining the new procedures for accessing our PC’s when we are out of the office. All in all a very successful install.”
