The Business

Site Audits
As in all businesses IT systems have become essential in the automotive trade and support for these services across multiple locations was becoming difficult. The organisation was looking to standardise the on-site infrastructure and to enable remote support. ICTn conducted audits at all sites and a comprehensive solution proposed. The solution looked to cover all aspects of the infrastructure:
- Broadband
- Firewall
- Comms Cabinets
- Switches
- Data Point Provision
- WiFi
- Security
- Backup
- Telecoms
Solution
Following the audits a detailed proposition was put to the directors with expected costs and timescales.
Following the installs each site has high speed broadband with a Fortinet firewall. Switching and Wi-Fi services are done through Aruba devices and security is covered using Heimdal. Many of the old data points were installed piecemeal and so new cat 6 cable was installed to central cabinets with clear labelling. Desktop productivity is provided through subscription to MS 365. This standardisation has given stability to all sites and allows for easier on-site and remote support.
Testimonial
“We have been using ICTn for IT and telecommunication services for several years. The support team is extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful and supportive both on the phone and in person. They have provided us with a secure networking solution to ensure our operations run smoothly and efficiently.
They are excellent at providing transparent solutions with sensible costs without the worry of lengthy contracts and ongoing expenses which many IT companies adopt.
I would recommend ICTn to any company who wants a no fuss professional IT solution.”
