The challenge
As WaterMota’s operations grew, their aging IT infrastructure began to hinder their efficiency, security, and overall reliability. With an increasing demand for streamlined operations, they recognised the need for a technology overhaul to maintain business continuity and support future growth.
What WaterMota said...
“We’ve been working with Techsol for over 10 years, and their IT support team has been brilliant. They are always cheerful, knowledgeable, and quick to understand what we need, with fast response times whenever an issue comes up.”
Our solution – proactive IT support
Techsol modernised WaterMota’s IT infrastructure with a structured plan that ensured business continuity and improved performance. We replaced outdated hardware, upgraded desktops, and streamlined their setup by organising the comms cabinet and consolidating servers. A new server was installed to boost their Opera system, and domain controller issues were resolved for a smoother transition.
To enhance security and meet cyber insurance requirements, we installed a Sophos firewall, migrated emails to Office 365, and enabled Multi-Factor Authentication for Microsoft 365 accounts. We also introduced a faster backup system and set up cloud-based disaster recovery for added resilience.
With the new cloud-based systems, the WaterMota team can now stay connected to the office wherever they are. Whether they’re travelling or working remotely, it’s easier than ever to stay productive on the move.
The result
We continue to work closely with James and the team, providing ongoing advice and support to help streamline workflows and improve business processes. The impact has been significant: WaterMota’s systems are now more secure and safer than ever. The upgraded hardware and new server have improved performance, providing faster and more reliable operations.
We’ve also supported them in preparing for the end of Windows 10, ensuring they’re ready for future upgrades. With robust backup and recovery solutions in place, WaterMota can operate with confidence, knowing their IT systems are protected and can be swiftly restored if needed.
Techsol’s proactive support and tailored solutions have equipped WaterMota with a modern, secure, and future-proof infrastructure that supports their continued growth.
