Challenge
On the lookout for a new IT support partner
Previously, Eden Scott had been relying on an IT service provider that failed to meet their expectations and requirements. The company faced issues that hindered their operations and left them dissatisfied with the service levels they were receiving. One of the primary concerns was the lack of efficient and effective resolution of technical problems, leading to frustration and a loss of trust in their IT support.
The company’s cyber security was also a major priority, and they were eager to enhance their cyber defences. As a business handling sensitive candidate data and confidential client information, data protection was of paramount importance.
Eden Scott are a Cyber Essentials certified organisation, and so maintaining compliance standards and safeguarding data from cyber breaches and threats has always been top of mind.
In addition, Eden Scott wanted a more responsive and communicative tech team. Their previous IT provider’s communication was lacking, and they felt left in the dark about the progress of support tickets and the status of ongoing issues.
Overall, Eden Scott sought an IT partner that could deliver prompt and effective support, bolster their cyber security defences, maintain data protection measures, and provide clear and consistent communication throughout their collaboration.
