Challenge

Creative United faced the challenge of setting up an entirely new IT function, including email and Microsoft Office applications, for their team of eight office-based staff and 20 remote contractors. The need for secure, reliable access from various locations was crucial, along with ongoing support to ensure operational continuity.

Plan

After evaluating several potential IT providers, Creative United selected boxxe due to their competitive pricing and tailored approach to clients. The plan focused on deploying a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution that would meet the immediate and future needs of Creative United’s expanding operations.

Approach

boxxe recommended Microsoft Office 365 as the backbone of Creative United's new IT infrastructure. This solution included email services, office applications, and cloud-based file storage. The boxxe team provided comprehensive support, from migrating data from Google Gmail to configuring the Office 365 environment, ensuring minimal disruption during the transition.

Outcome

The implementation of Office 365 provided Creative United with branded email addresses and shared access to essential data, enabling seamless collaboration across their dispersed workforce. The solution has been reliable and cost-effective, significantly enhancing Creative United’s operational capabilities.

I talked to a number of contacts in other organisations, and one of them recommended boxxe Group to me. We looked at several possible IT suppliers and chose boxxe Group because of their competitive pricing and reasonable approach to dealing with smaller clients such as ourselves. We were all familiar with Microsoft Office, wanted to carry on using it, and we knew that we would be using PCs, not Macs. Office 365’s annual subscription model was financially appealing, and its ability to provide remote working through cloud-based file storage was attractive.
