Case Studies

The Problem

Ashley Helme approaches Venom IT seeking a better IT solutions provider as they felt that they had outgrown their existing IT solution provider. Ashley Helme due to their success has been growing for several years and this leads to a greater need for a reliable, secure, and high performing IT solution for the business.

Specifics for Ashley Helme Associates

They had a slow and inflexible E-mail solution followed by slow and underperforming broadband service. They were backing up their crucial data to a local server that was underperforming and was becoming a security risk. We also raise these issues with their IT solutions provider on several occasions. It quickly became clear to them that they need to find a more suitable provider. This is where Venom IT came in.

The Solution

Our expert technicians evaluate Ashley Helme’s current IT infrastructure and consequently identify what solutions are necessary.

Next Steps

We then replace their out-of-date POP3 E-mail solution with Microsoft Exchange. In addition, to tackle the slow internet speeds, we upgrade them from their current 10mbits ADSL service to an 80mbits down / 20mbits Up FTTC service. We transfer their data onto a cloud backup solution as well. As a result, this provides a more seamless process that also significantly increases the security of their crucial data. To ensure they receive full support, Venom IT also provides Ashley Helme with around-the-clock IT support solution if anything should go wrong.

The new IT infrastructure and solutions mean that Ashley Helme can, in fact, carry on with focusing their time on their customers. As their business grows, Venom IT can adapt their IT infrastructure to grow and keep delivering for them.

The Outcome

Above all, each Venom IT project takes place while Ashley Helme’s office continues to work, reducing logistical challenges altogether.

On-time, on-budget

Moreover, we delivered the projects on time and to budget. Ultimately, the brand is now more flexible and ready to deliver.
