Case Studies

Real results for real businesses

From reducing downtime to enabling remote workforces, here's how we've helped SMEs across Dorset and the UK get more from their technology.

Managed IT

Dorset Logistics Co.

From reactive firefighting to proactive IT management

A regional logistics firm was losing hours each week to IT outages and ad-hoc support calls. We replaced their break-fix model with a fully managed IT service — cutting unplanned downtime by over 80% within three months.

The challenge

The client had no dedicated IT resource and relied on a local freelancer for reactive support. Recurring server issues and an ageing network were causing weekly disruptions to warehouse operations.

Our approach

We conducted a full infrastructure audit, replaced end-of-life hardware, implemented 24/7 monitoring, and transitioned the team to a proactive managed service model with a dedicated helpdesk.

Key outcomes

80%

Reduction in unplanned downtime

4 hrs

Average weekly time saved on IT issues

3 months

Time to full transition

Bournemouth Accountancy Practice

Migrating a 20-person firm to Microsoft 365 — without a single day of disruption

A growing accountancy practice needed to move away from ageing on-premise servers and enable secure remote working. We planned and executed a full Microsoft 365 migration over a single weekend.

The challenge

The firm's on-premise Exchange server was approaching end-of-life, staff were unable to collaborate effectively from home, and the practice had no disaster recovery plan in place.

Our approach

We designed a phased migration to Microsoft 365, including Exchange Online, SharePoint, and Teams. All data was migrated, tested, and verified before the firm's Monday morning start — with zero data loss.

Key outcomes

0

Days of disruption during migration

100%

Staff enabled for secure remote working

40%

Reduction in IT infrastructure costs

Cybersecurity

South Coast Recruitment Agency

Protecting client data after a near-miss phishing attack

After a staff member nearly fell victim to a sophisticated phishing campaign, a recruitment agency engaged us to assess and overhaul their security posture — before a breach could occur.

The challenge

The agency held sensitive candidate and client data but had no formal security policies, no endpoint protection beyond basic antivirus, and staff with little awareness of social engineering threats.

Our approach

We delivered a full vulnerability assessment, deployed endpoint detection and response (EDR) tooling, implemented multi-factor authentication across all systems, and ran a tailored security awareness programme for all staff.

Key outcomes

MFA

Rolled out across all 35 staff accounts

Zero

Security incidents in the 12 months since

GDPR

Compliance gaps identified and resolved

Software Development

Hampshire Property Management Group

A bespoke tenant portal that replaced three disconnected systems

A property management company was juggling maintenance requests, tenancy documents, and rent tracking across three separate tools. We built a unified web portal that brought everything into one place.

The challenge

Staff were manually copying data between a spreadsheet, an email inbox, and a legacy CRM. Tenants had no self-service options, leading to high call volumes and slow response times.

Our approach

We designed and built a custom web application with a tenant-facing portal for maintenance requests and document access, and a staff dashboard for tracking properties, tenancies, and outstanding actions.

Key outcomes

60%

Reduction in inbound tenant calls

3 tools

Replaced by a single integrated platform

2 weeks

Staff onboarding time cut to under two weeks
