Case Study

BARNARDOS

WLAN Connectivity Project for Barnardos

We’ve worked with INNOVATE for more than a year now. They’ve been involved in supporting us through necessary infrastructural upgrades, improving our communications, network security, encryption, and a variety of other tasks. A lot of the work has involved the possibility of interruption to service, but INNOVATE has been really instrumental in ensuring that everything went seamlessly and was always really well communicated. They have been (and are) a real pleasure to work with and we believe we have benefitted hugely from their professionalism and ready availability.

With 36 branches nationwide, there were inconsistencies in terms of Barnardos’ equipment, security policies and on premise LAN firewall management on each remote site.
