Case studies

We’ve worked with many different types of businesses since we started, in many different business sectors. Typically, they range from 10 users to about 500 users or so. But we’re happy to work with any size of company where we can add value.

Here’s a small selection of case studies – each one clearly shows how we’ve delivered real benefits to a customer.

Case Study – DLG Architects

“DLG Architects were founded in 1972 and is now a major practice featuring in the Architects Journal Top 100. They have offices in London and Leeds and work throughout the UK and mainland Europe. In July 2007, this partnership decided to upgrade their e-mail solution as the need for collaboration between their two similarly sized sites became more acute. A key requirement was that their existing archiving solution could be accommodated within the XE2 solution, and that they could continue to use their existing AV/AS software. 6 months further on Greg Karas, the IT Manager, is very pleased with the service they have received. “ Virtually all of the issues that we experienced with our previous solution has been eliminated and we are now switching off our existing AV/AS solution in favour of using XE2’s total solution. In addition, their Archiving and Compliance solution could well replace our existing solution, as it can be activated at user level…..a key requirement for a Partnership ”

Case Study – sQuidcard Limited

sQuidcard was a new start-up business, and needed a communications partner who could provide a professional e-mail service and take all the issues of Exchange off the company’s busy agenda, leaving the management team to focus on the development of the core business.

sQuidcard’s Finance Director says ‘ We reviewed who was doing what in this space, and felt XE2 demonstrated the right business approach. Too many of the e-mail providers actually turn out to be pretty amateur but with XE2 we discovered a team of very experienced and dedicated professionals, operating a high availability data centre in partnership wioth a recognised telco. They ran a trial for us, and created a simple easy to manage service, at a competitive price. For us the value of communications goes far beyond the price we pay each month. We have people travelling all over the UK, and they need to be in touch through Blackberry and able to share calendars as well as manage much of the business through e-mail. XE2 delivers exactly what we need, and the customer portal is really helpful in cutting down administration time.’

Case Study - Nucleus Limited

When Nucleus, the design and brand consultancy, decided to upgrade its Exchange service, it turned to XE2 to manage the process. ‘We felt we needed an expert to guide us through the set-up of Exchange 2003, and we had a lot of issues to manage in terms of ensuring e-mail would work effectively with Mac users as well as PC users,’ says Iwan Essery., Nucleus IT manager. ‘XE2 was able to integrate the services within a tight time frame, and following implementation have always been available to support issues and changes.’
