overview-icon Client Overview

Neogene Paints, based in Watford, supplies high performance coatings to industries around the world. Innovation has been their hallmark ever since their 1934 beginning, developing innovative solutions for glass, ceramics, and plastic substrates. Decades of experience and a customer-centric approach means Neogene Paints operations needed a robust IT infrastructure to support manufacturing and global supply chain processes.

Older IT infrastructure, including workstations and an end-of-life physical server, was becoming unreliable and posed a real challenge for Neogene Paints. Key hardware and software reaching the end of their supported lifespan, coupled with the ever-present risk of ransomware and cyberattacks, highlighted the need for investment in new solutions. Unique technical demands complicated their IT renewal and upgrade process, which required a customised and cost-effective solution.

Impact and Results

A big thank you...

I would like to say a big thank you to you guys for all the work you did to convert Neogene over to our new computer system, I know it was often frustrating for you both, but we can’t thank you enough. Everyone here is amazed at how well the transfer went, with little disruption to our operation during the process, you handled it so well. The performance upgrade is unbelievable, and our Access system is a joy to use. Atif and Viral really helped us plan the system, a big thank you to them.Thanks again, we really appreciate all your efforts.

Director, Paul Brown
