The IT Director and his team at Beams International worked alongside ADM Computing to improve their IT strategy and operations.
The pilot and testing phase consisted of investigations, to identify any high risk, unsupported or end of life systems. The next stage was to develop a 3 Phase IT roadmap, focusing on stability, optimisation, and innovation.
Solution:
Phase 1 saw a focus on stabilising systems by moving away from unnecessary risks identified in the initial investigation. This involved replacing end of life infrastructure and conducting a migration of services to a more secure and reliable server environment.
Phase 2 saw the optimisation of business systems as well as a focus on cybersecurity. During this second phase, ADM were able to reduce Beams International’s recurring operational ongoing costs.
This was part of a wider communications plan that included installation and integration of leased lines, robust internet connections and firewalls. ADM also improved Beams’ network stability with a wireless bridge between their two industrial units therefore removing a surplus internet connection. This infrastructure provided a base for future cloud migrations.
Phase 3 sees Beams in a position where they have developed their ERP deployment and now have scalable and secure infrastructure that will enable their continued business growth. ADM continue to support Beams and their business goals.
