Bis Henderson / Case Study

Recruitment specialists Bis Henderson were experiencing issues with existing IT architecture which were impacting productivity. DataCenter on Demand™ technology from Rise enabled the company to focus more on its business, giving them the confidence that their technology Infrastructure would meet and exceed any future needs.

The challenge: greater productivity, lower costs

Bis Henderson is a firm of supply chain recruitment specialists based in Northampton. Senior executives spend much of their time in London, on the road, or at client offices across the country.

The company’s IT facilities were based on a three-Server Infrastructure located at its Northampton base. However, Connectivity was poor between London, Northampton and remote users. Secondly, performance and scalability issues were impacting productivity both in the office and when working at remote locations. Inadequate IT systems were undermining Bis Henderson’s ability to provide a best-in-class service to its customers.

As the need for a more fluid, robust and upgradeable system became apparent, the organisation turned to the IT services supplier Mooncomputers, also based in Northampton.

The solution: bring on Cloud

Following a consultation period, the Mooncomputers produced a full IT analysis report. The report recommended that all three servers be moved to a flexible, Cloud-based platform. This solution offered better flexibility, performance, reliability and scalability, as well as supporting a broad set of capabilities that could be provisioned as the company’s needs evolved.

Using the Rise platform, Mooncomputers was able to migrate Bis Henderson’s existing IT Infrastructure into the Cloud quickly and efficiently.
