As a growing business, EWO were finding that their key personnel were with clients more than in the office and needed to be able to access both emails and files easily and quickly. In addition, with more staff joining the business, the company needed to be able to scale their IT, whilst minimising the costs normally associated with growth.

Project Brief

• Provide a flexible solution for growth
• Allow consultants to access their e-mails, collaborative working tools and files from a wide range of locations
• Increase the security of their critical business data
• Reduce the overall costs of the IT infrastructure

Implementation

Extrinsica Office Anywhere™ provided EWO with a new, innovative IT solution: virtual IT facilities fully managed for them.

Having the use of Extrinsica Office Anywhere™ meant that EWO’s consultants would be able to access all the company files and their emails from any location where they could get an internet connection – even if it was just via a GPRS mobile telephone network.

Uniquely for EWO, Extrinsica Office Anywhere™ also provided their consultants with the facility to access all of their IT facilities direct from an XDA, giving genuine, mobile access to all of their data not just e-mails. This effectively turned their XDAs into the equivalent of fully functional micro PCs.

Having researched a number of options, EWO decided to opt for a new way of thinking about IT

Business Benefits

• Improved operational flexibility - ability to access to documents while away from the physical office
• Affordable scalability as the company grows
• Reduced cost of IT ownership.
• Increased data security and protection
• Substantially reduced capital expenditure
