08 Mar Packaged on-site solution and on-going support for manufacturer
Since its beginnings in the mid-1950’s this client has become one of the leading fabricators within the infrastructure industry, specialising in manufacturing and installing steel bridges and gantries. From their purpose-built site near Folkestone, Kent they fabricate and install structures ranging from 5 metres to over 100 metres. Their aging infrastructure had served them well, but was now starting to show its age. Some of the applications that it hosted were suffering from the underlying equipment being unreliable. With the key software package being the accounts platform, this was causing concern within the management team.
06 Mar Upgrading IT in support of a 5-year business plan
Based in Ashford, Kent, this ISO certified client has been designing and manufacturing high specification security doors for commercial and industrial premises throughout the UK for well over thirty years, and felt that they had outgrown their previous IT provider. The company’s ambitious 5-year growth plan required a streamlined approach, and was heavily reliant on their IT and internal systems being fully reliable, as any downtime had potential for significant repercussions on their rigorous manufacturing and customer care standards.
04 Mar Longer term relationship enables trans-Atlantic support and cost saving
ADM’s relationship with this client, the European arm of a US manufacturer of a portfolio of major FMCG health and beauty brands, goes back to the early 2000s. We’ve delivered numerous projects including a new Cisco LAN and a number of refreshes for back-end infrastructure for servers and storage. We also look after all the firm’s internet communications, and have designed and installed a system in the perimeter security to manage external contractors. Skype for Business for unified communications has also been installed to enable the whole organisation to collaborate irrespective of location, keeping travel costs under control.
