  • Flexible Working

    Many Mac-based companies are transforming the way they work.

    Your business needs to be agile in order to cope with the changing demands of your clients and to be able to deliver projects in a lean and efficient way as budgets are squeezed – never more so than operating in the current post-lockdown environment. Also, providing staff with more flexible ways of working is becoming critical and for many there is a desire to reduce office space requirements and business overheads.

    In order to help you thrive in this new environment, we have a leading team of engineers with creative industry backgrounds. Whether it’s supporting people working from home or even in a field, we take pride in delivering solutions that allow Mac users to access their files and collaborate in real-time from just about anywhere (subject to a network connection being available).

    We take a very personal approach to understanding each client’s needs as this is very important to us since every business requires a different approach.

    Depending on your current setup and aspirations we can deliver solutions that include the following:

      Remote access and flexible out of office setups
      Mac OSX servers that support Windows platforms, applications and users
      All Apple hardware, systems and associated peripherals
      Custom cloud-based, local and hybrid storage configurations
      Mobile Device Management (MDM)
      Onsite and remote support
      Custom contracts available (from single users to corporate users)

    We also have a Strategic Manager who can plan this around your normal workflow to ensure business continuity and at the same time help you with the implementation of new business systems, processes and restructuring as required.
