Real IT: A network with room for growth

An employee of a small business involved in charity recruitment suggested their boss talk to us. The company needed to move from stand alone PCs to a fully networked office and wanted to make sure they did this in the right way.

In two weeks, we:

• Reviewed the software the company was using and their plans for growth
• Talked to software providers about what to install and how
• Recommended hardware and a network set up that met immediate needs and left room for growth
• Set up the network and worked with software providers to coordinate installation
• Trained staff to use the new system.

‘I wasn’t confident I could make the right choices when it came to setting up our network on my own’ the boss said. ‘I also didn’t want to commit us to something that left no room for manoeuvre later on. Real gave me excellent value for money and I feel absolutely comfortable with the network they helped put in place.’
