20 Years ago, this client's systems consisted of pens and pieces of paper, and a lot of late nights writing out invoices! We helped them with a spreadsheet that gave the owner back around 10 hours per week!

As this client grew, we supported the business, first with additional PCs, a server, more complicated spreadsheets, then with accounting systems, through until they were ready to move onto a specialist Core Business Application. With additional sites being developed, networks were required and server rooms had to be provisioned.

Today, that client has 6 sites throughout the country, has more than 100 seats, and two geo-diverse computer rooms housing their servers and networking equipment, all pro-actively managed by Connect 2 staff.

10 years ago, this Financial Advisor set up shop and we helped fit them out with basic desktops and simple office software for the original 3 staff. The business grew solidly over the next 5 years, adding staff until they needed a centralized server capability. We implemented a Small Business Server (SBS) with MS Exchange for their email, network storage, and domain security.

5 years later, with the SBS out of warranty and a new server being very expensive, we developed a plan to move them totally into the cloud. We migrated the on-premises email into Office 365 Exchange On-Line, and set up Sites and Cloud Storage to replace their network drives. We also delivered increased productivity to their mobile agents.

A fundamental change to the way this client conducted business, was implemented smoothly and safely by the Connect 2 team.

15 years ago, this client set up business with a specialist core business application in the financial services industry. Connect 2 were tasked with setting up their new office, as well as helping implement the core application which required thin clients for all users.

An additional site was added to the business 6 years later, and we developed and implemented the plan to set up this second office, put in the new servers and networks to allow both sites, thin client access, as well as on-premise email, network file storage, firewalls and security.

6 years later, a third site was planned by the client. We developed a new hybrid solution architecture incorporating some cloud based functionality, as well as running their core business application on infrastructure inside our data center.
