Visual Synergy

"'I always find F8 to be very friendly, helpful and supportive whether the issue is large or small. They provide solutions and help keep us up to date with new ideas which they feel could benefit the company"

Objectives from new IT solutions

One of the key priorities was to find a solution which would enable employees to work remotely without compromising productivity or adding complexity. As new employees joined the workforce, some of the communal files on the server needed to be restricted to only enable access by certain staff. At the same time, it was important that documents could be safely and securely accessed by staff working remotely, off-site.

Visual Synergy needed an IT company who could not only manage the day-to-day needs of the business, but also help plan for the future; explaining benefits of contemporary solutions and implement them with minimal disruption and cost.

Solutions implemented and benefits provided

After discussing the various price plans available, it was felt that the ‘Proactive Plan’ was a great fit for what Visual Synergy needed. It provided a low monthly cost while still ensuring critical hardware such as servers and office computers had regular health checks. As one of the F8-IT engineers visited each month, it also gave the team at Visual Synergy a great opportunity to ask questions in person, in the same way larger companies enjoy having a full time IT manager, but without the associated cost.

Client Feedback

“F8 IT Solutions has been a real asset to the company”

The team often make themselves available on evenings or weekends at no extra charge, to help get us out of a bind. The level of involvement with our IT does make us feel like they are a member of the team, who know our systems as well as we could expect from a full time IT manager.

The speed at which they can connect on to our computers, no matter how remote a location we are, is a real game changer. We no longer need to wait until we are next in the office to get things looked at, but instead are only ever minutes away from support.
