overview-icon2 The Challenge

Stoneguard Projects required an upgrade to their IT systems in order to facilitate an office move, and improve security and compliance throughout the company. Site-based workers struggled with access to office-based data sources, and needed a more modern approach to making project data available when working on-site. The transition of IT services needed to be smooth and seamless, with upgrades to office infrastructure and a migration to cloud-based data storage, to improve operational continuity whilst ensuring excellent security standards.
