InTechnology’s CLOUD SERVICES…
RETAIL NETWORKING – Vp plc
Multi-site operations and the integration of new acquisitions in a retail environment both bring their own particular IT
challenges, not least when an organisation’s set-up extends to remote areas. This was the situation facing an equipment
rental business with six divisions. Operating in diverse markets, rapid expansion had led to the opening of more than 40 new
sites in two years. The IT challenge ranged from assimilating acquisitions with their own IT suppliers to the need to manage
increasing data volumes to backup. What is more, acquisitions at short notice needed immediate connectivity so new
branches could be up and trading on their first day.
By far the best option to ensure the integrity and security of the company’s infrastructure (said our client!) was our Managed
Hosting, Network and Data Backup Services, available company-wide via a link into our services cloud – around 130 remote
sites linked by an InTechnology provided and managed VPN.
Key benefits:
• A stable, secure network, resulting in more
productive sites.
• Extra capacity as and when needed, allowing
for rapid business expansion.
• IT support under one umbrella with
one helpline number, 24x7x365.
“It has brought terrific
savings to the business.”
Tracy Wilson, Group IT Director, Vp plc.

distributor focuses on data storage, network security, enterprise software and
virtualisation solutions. It’s a fast growing business, employing over 270 people in offices
across three UK locations, and now part of a global group.
With expansion, office moves and acquisitions all on the agenda, in a business that places high
usage and reliance on the company’s phone system, any sort of outage could be disastrous. In addition,
increasing amounts of critical data were in need of safe and secure storage to meet tough regulatory
requirements for the protection of digital assets. Being in the IT business, DNS Arrow certainly knew what they
were talking about and, having considered their options, concluded that InTechnology was the only service provider to combine
network, data and telephony across a single network infrastructure.
Key benefits:
• Scalability, meaning extra capacity is available as
and when it is needed.

…CAN SAVE YOU SIGNIFICANT COSTS WHILE IMPROVING YOUR EFFICIENCY.
DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. LET OUR CUSTOMERS DO THE TALKING.
GOING PUBLIC ON VOICE AND DATA
When the UK’s top business lobbying organisation needed a service partner who would free them up from IT concerns to focus
all their efforts on strategy and performance, they turned to InTechnology’s Managed Services Cloud. Straddling public and
private sectors and working with governments, legislators and policy makers, the CBI needed joined up communications capacity
for its offices and operational teams throughout the UK.
Managing this critical IT environment demands the input of a diverse and skilled workforce at each location. A global presence
makes secure access to data 24/7 a prerequisite and efficient and cost-effective voice communications a must. Our client found
the answer to this voice, data and costs conundrum in our cloud services.
InTechnology’s solution was a comprehensive package of IT and telecommunications services for the disparate workforce –
managed, centralised and delivered under a single agreement that secures an IT infrastructure for today and provides a
cost-effective, scalable platform for the future.
Key benefits:
• Fast access to securely stored and replicated corporate data and information.
• Centralised management and deployment of all IT needs and resources.
• Direct cost saving from an integrated voice and data network.
“InTechnology looks after the technology
and infrastructure enabling us to get on
with our business.”
