Challenge:

 

When Nexus Planning separated from their former parent company, they faced the complex task of building a fully independent IT environment from scratch. With five offices, a growing user base, and a diverse range of software needs, they required more than just a standard IT setup—they needed a tailored, strategic approach that would allow them to grow with confidence.

Among the key challenges were a manual, time-consuming laptop setup process that disrupted productivity, and the logistical pressure of managing a short-notice office move while maintaining business continuity. These issues underscored the need for a responsive, scalable IT solution that could support both immediate demands and long-term growth.

Solution:

 

Rather than replicating their previous setup, we worked with Nexus Planning to build a fully cloud-based IT environment from the ground up—aligned to their goals and scalable for future growth.

The onboarding project was a success—providing a smooth transition and establishing a modern, secure IT foundation. When faced with a short-notice office move, we ensured a seamless relocation with minimal disruption.

Key deliverables included:

  • A new domain and cloud servers, with reliable leased line connectivity across all sites
  • A secure MPLS network to support seamless collaboration
  • Tools like Mimecast, Exclaimer, and Ruckus Cloud for enhanced security, branding, and Wi-Fi management
  • Microsoft Intune with Autopilot to simplify and speed up laptop deployment
