Adrian McDonagh
IT Manager, Ulster Rugby
When the decision was made to move platforms we wanted to engage with a trusted partner. We have found Leaf to be excellent to work with, efficient and flexible throughout the project.
Ulster Rugby.
Ulster Rugby: A Partnership.
Ulster Rugby are a powerhouse team on the pitch but they also require a fair bit of muscle operationally. Leaf oversaw the gradual adoption of cloud infrastructure, an overhaul of previous hardware and a resolution to comms bottlenecks within the organisation.
Challenges.
Outdated servers needed to be replaced, user access rights to be established and improved collaboration solutions alongside hardware upgrades were required.
Results.
- Flexible email service, hosted in the cloud
- Server upgraded to cloud-based SharePoint Online
- Higherarchal access to company data by job position and user access rights
- Skype for business adoption
- Hardware upgrades
Using Office365 business productivity tools, employees are erasing the physical and geographical boundaries of office-bound work environments to become more agile, mobile and productive from any location. Today the IT department is equipped to serve the needs of the business. Office365 has reduced IT costs and improved business agility. Through the deployment of SharePoint Online, Ulster Rugby has improved collaboration on work projects among staff, consultants and the professional team.
Since using Microsoft cloud-based productivity services, Ulster Rugby employees are more satisfied with their communication and collaboration tools than ever before – despite initial hesitation about moving away from a server-based solution.
