There was a need to modernise our IT management methods, explained Bogos. “We had a lot of cumbersome manual processes and a lot of the time it was a needle in the haystack approach,” he said, explaining they had limited network documentation, a lack of visibility and oversight, and needed to undergo an intense discovery process.
Additionally, with some network equipment older than 10 years, a major redesign was crucial to boost employee mobility and ramp up agility. “We had gaps in our systems and we had some consumer grade networks and Wi-Fi routers where an Enterprise solution was required,“ explained Bogos.
Cyber security had become another pressing concern over the last three years, with Bogos admitting that their IT and security maturity was only in its early stages. Interflow weren’t looking for an out-of-the-box solution, but rather a partner that could take them on an IT journey.
“We were looking for a partner that could examine our overall IT efficiency, and determine ways to optimise our IT environment, as well as help us work better. We also wanted to have a centralised partner for purchasing – hardware, software and professional services. We wanted someone that could bring ideas to the table, sit down with us and strategise,” said Bogos.
