7 Case study : Robinsons Relocation Robinsons Relocation is one of the leading UK removals companies, with over 100 years experience in domestic and corporate relocation on a UK, European, and international scale. In that time, the company has grown from a small family-run firm into a national network of seven offices, with 120 staff and an annual turnover of 17 million. The challenge Robinsons Relocation had no effective business continuity or disaster recovery systems in place to safeguard the productivity and profitability of its operations against the threat of downtime in its IT and communications infrastructure. Should a server crash with no business continuity or disaster recovery systems in place, Robinsons Relocation could be faced with the prospect of losing substantial volumes of vital customer data and being unable to fulfil its commitments to customers. The full integration of our telephony system onto our desktops call routing, diverting, voic , everything you would expect from an enterprise phone system means that our staff are able to manage calls in a much more efficient and controlled manner. Claranet has provided us with modern control over a modern communications network. Richard Veys, IT Director, Robinsons Relocation The solution Having spoken to a number of providers, Robinsons Relocation worked together with Claranet to develop a solution that would offset the company s substantial telephony costs to pay for its services and vplatform, providing a much more secure and functional infrastructure with much lower risk. IT Director Richard Veys explains: The brief we went to Claranet with was clear and simple: we wanted to migrate our data, and telephony from our incumbent providers including BT into the cloud, and to make them disaster-proof. Claranet now provides us with a hosted MPLS network, a communications suite of and telephony that is available through our desktops, and a fully backed-up and secure server in the cloud. The results The transition to hosted IT infrastructure with Claranet has had wide-ranging benefits for Robinsons Relocation beyond simply provisioning for business continuity and disaster recovery. First and foremost, the Claranet solution has given us a much more secure and functional platform to work with, and I no longer have sleepless nights about the potential loss of data. But it has also really smoothed out the running of the IT department, bringing greater regularity to our costs and boosting the speed and reliability of the network meaning that I don t get people complaining about performance anymore, Veys explains. We weren t actually looking for a customer-focused solution, but a happy side-effect of our migration to Claranet s solution has been that we are now able to provide our customers with a better service, he continues. The full integration of our telephony system onto our desktops call routing, diverting, voic , everything you would expect from an enterprise phone system means that our staff are able to manage calls in a much more efficient and controlled manner. Claranet has provided us with modern control over a modern communications network.
