Recommendations “The close working partnership we have with Proact is highly valuable to us. Finding a provider that offers the technical skill, the assurance that our data remains in the UK and such an aggressive SLA has given us board-level comfort in the DR strategy, as it actually works and protects our business unlike past services” Ian Poole, Head of IT Infrastructure, RFIB. “Insourcing is a vital element of our new IT strategy. It will save us money and ensure more robust services. 70 per cent of physical services will be removed when the infrastructure is virtualised. This will ensure faster rollout of new services, even better security and greater uptime.” Elisabeth Larsen, IT operations manager at Get (FlexPod Solution). “Thanks to Proact, we avoided what could have been a major disaster today. This disaster recovery solution has already proved to be a real life saver.” John Fry, IT Manager, Rufus Leonard. “We needed a partner and a relationship that could evolve with us. Proact offered that and it was in stark contrast with alternative options in the market, which purely involved selling equipment. That's been the key valuable criteria in the relationship that we've got.” Matt Meyer, Chief Executive, Taylor Vinters. “Adopting Proact's Cloud Services has meant we are able to focus on more important things than just day-to-day operational tasks. Our IT staff have so much more time to focus on valuable business projects.” Gary Wilson, Director of IT, Digby Brown. “Finding the right storage integration partner is critical to ensuring that real benefits come to fruition, and Proact have proven to be an inspired choice that has brought innovation, pragmatism and reliable professionalism to the project.” Julian Bond, Head of ICT, Hillarys. “We anticipate significant cost savings of £150,000 over five years, allowing us to invest more in our business and to really align our IT spend with business needs.” David Cochrane, Infrastructure Manager, Vital Services Group. “The project is on track and this would never have been possible without such fantastic support from Proact. Their commitment has been extraordinary, their attention to detail superb, their project management skills awesome and without question their technical skills are world class." Garry Harris, Head of IT Services, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust. “The Proact model provides a flexible and robust platform that allows us to do what we do best: give our customers a quality service that saves time, improves staff productivity and makes processes more efficient."
