Practical
Solutions
To Improve
Productivity: Moving
To The Cloud
Cloud technology helps people work
smarter and faster, making your business
more productive.
By storing everything in the cloud, your team
has access to whatever they need whenever
they need it. As your business grows, simply
increase your storage space to add data,
software and apps.
Start With Why
Transition starts with consultancy to match your
operational and strategic requirements with the
right technical solutions. Once we understand
your needs, we’ll recommend the best software
to assist.
Superior Cloud-Based Software
Adding software like Office 365 to the cloud
means employees can work from anywhere at
any time. And Microsoft Delve will help them
organise the information they use most, making
it quick to find.
Reach optimum productivity with colleagues
both inside and outside your business with
94% of business
reported improved security
in the cloud
65%
believe they can
respond more quickly
to business demand
through cloud
technology
Companies that
invest in cloud
technology grow
53% faster than
competitors SharePoint. This alwaysaccessible
intranet
empowers teams to share
files, data, news and resources.
Finding shared space hard to come by for
disparate individuals? MS Teams provides a
shared location for project documents for more
efficient collaboration. And, with single-sign
on, employees only need to remember one
password to access all this computing power.
Got a large client database that can’t be
accessed by those who need it? Customer
relationship management system, Microsoft
Dynamics, brings the data together and puts it
at your team’s fingertips.
New Hardware, New Tricks
Old hardware can’t make best use of new
systems which is why upgrading to latest
Surface Pro, desktop or laptop is critical. We
can advise on balancing the right technical
spec with the right price without compromising
productivity.

Case Study: We Are Adam
To support business growth, recruiters We Are
Adam needed to resolve a range of technical
issues. They also wanted to improve efficiency
and productivity and ensure they were poised
to expand.
What We Did
We worked with the leadership team to
understand the strategic direction and
operational issues We Are Adam were
experiencing. A full review of their working
processes revealed the best mix of supporting
software and process automation.
• Microsoft Forms - Electronic data feeds
across multiple applications produced
reports faster and more precisely.
• Microsoft Flow - Computerised background
tasks that refreshed data and trigger alerts
across a range of apps.
The new technology and processes were
quickly embedded with full training and support.
And we remain on hand to provide technical
fixes as required to maximise business uptime
and productivity.
The Results
A full move to cloud services meant we were
able to implement significant enhancements
to productivity. The introduction of three key
pieces of software replaced manual work with:
“SAN-iT is very capable, service driven and
totally understands our business and the
importance of technology.”

the next 3 years.
Communication
Without
The Complexity
28% of the
working week is spent
on email
Sharing information is critical to effective
business operations. But all too often
employees are restricted by technology that
forces them to work in silos.
Old technology makes collaboration complex.
Documents are stored in unreachable drives
and meetings mean time-consuming travel and
reduced productivity.
But modern, flexible cloud-based
communication solutions are well within reach.
Microsoft anticipates 78% of small and midsized
businesses will be using cloud-based
apps within the next three years.
365 Email
Offi ce 365’s business-class email provides
you with a familiar outlook experience that’s
accessible from both your desktop or web
browser.
Yammer
A social network for your business that enables
effective communication between teams,
departments and locations.

Transfer calls, put people on hold and let
voicemail take your missed calls all online and
for a lower cost than traditional telephony.
With the right technology, your business can
conquer communication and benefit from the
kind of collaboration that delivers results.
SharePoint
Accessible-from-anywhere intranet and file
sharing that empowers teams to work together.

Fully Flexible
Working
50% of workers now
work outside of their main
office for more than 2.5
days per week
Flexible working
will be preferred
by 70% of
businesses by 2020
44% believe
flexible working
allows them to get
more work done
Businesses and employees expect to be able
to work flexibly. Today, the office could be a
coffee shop, a client’s site or the home office.
In fact, over 50% of workers now work outside
of their main office for more than 2.5 days
per week. And the key enabler of mobility?
Technology.
Flexitech
Flexible working has been made possible
through cloud technology. By storing files and
data off-site, via applications like SharePoint, the
workplace is now anywhere.
Productivity suite Office 365 is also available
both off and online. It provides access to Word,
Excel and all the other programmes you and
your teams know and use. And you can access
and work on your files from multiple devices
wherever you are.
Office 365 can be
seamlessly integrated with
other programmes like Microsoft
Teams. This platform brings groups of people
together to collaborate on documents and
projects wherever they may be.
Globally Mobile Communications
Online doesn’t mean impersonal. Skype and
VoIP provide face-to-face video calling and
online conference facilities for large numbers of
people. And Yammer - Facebook for business
- allows teams to interact, generate ideas and
share solutions for the benefit of
the organisation.
Modern mobile devices enable your teams to
make the most of their new-found freedom.
With single device sign-on and restricted IP
access security remains tight without hindering
productivity or mobility. And, with flexible
leasing arrangements, you can afford to keep
up to date with the latest technology.

Case Study: GB Taekwondo
GB Taekwondo is responsible for the
performance of British athletes at global
competitions. With vast amounts of data to
manage, separate office and event systems

difficult.
What We Did
• Upgraded their Office 365 plan to include
SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer and Skype
• Created a fully branded SharePoint Online
site to store all company data including
videos, documents and spreadsheets
• Set up OneDrive to give all users personal
storage space accessible from any device
anywhere in the world
• Trained all staff to use Yammer driving
effective communications across the
company
• Installed Skype for Business on all company
devices
The Results
Wherever in the world they are, staff can now:
• Access and collaborate on files from any
device in real time
• Store up to 1TB of personal documents
• Retrieve data and documents from a
centralised location
• Keep control of access with permissions for
staff and athletes
• Share and keep up to date with business
news via Yammer
• Instantly message one another and video call

84% of small business
owners are unaware of
GDPR
Using
Technology For
GDPR Compliance
Only 29%
of businesses have
started preparing for
GDPR
Fines of up to
$20m or 4%
of turnover
Enhanced data protection rules come into
effect on 25th May 2018 through the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
To ensure your business is compliant, and to
minimise the risk of incurring a fine of up to
$20m, you need to:
• Know what personal information you hold,
where it came from and who you share
it with
• Take suffi cient steps to protect that data
• Store data so you can identify every piece
of information relating to an individual and
make amendments
• Be able to respond to data access requests
or delete every trace of an individual’s
personal information should they request it
Cloud Solutions For Compliance
Moving to cloud services is the single most
impactful step you can take to meet your
obligations. As a third party data host, cloud
service providers have to do much of the GDPR
work for you. They provide:
• Super security measures as part of your
monthly payment
• Software and systems that can be controlled
by you - data permissions can be granted on
a need-to-know basis
• In-built auditing tools that create an
electronic activity papertrail
• Real time data backup that reduces the
likelihood of data loss and enhanced
recovery
Single Version Simplicity
Cloud services also allow online collaboration
using a single document. This reduces
replication of personal data associated with
multiple versions, making data tracking and
deletion easy.
All these features are designed to help prevent
data breaches and, should the worst happen,
make investigations and reporting quick and
simple for your business.

Shielding
Your Business
From
Cyber Security
46% of UK
businesses say they
have detected a cyber
security attack
46% increase in
breaches related to
email
16% of cyber
incidents come from
Malware
46% of UK businesses detected a cyber
security attack in 2016.
And SMEs make prime targets. With fewer
resources at their command, smaller
businesses often have the least-protected
websites, accounts and network systems.
With increasing use of mobile technology, your
business has a fluid network perimeter that can
no longer be protected solely by investing in
more hardware and people.
Superior Security At An Affordable Price
Many SMEs are harnessing the power of global
intelligence and the mass-scale threat analysis
that come with cloud computing.
Combine cloud services with local, fully
managed security and you’ll have complete
peace of mind around the clock. With alerts
about problems like virus outbreaks and
attempted hacking, issues will be spotted and
resolved before you’re even aware of them.
SAN-iT’s Approach
Based on an understanding
of the threats your organisation
faces, we recommend suitable layers of security
for both hardware and software.
Software - like EMS Enterprise Mobility and
Security - safeguards programmes and apps
so you can work securely online. And in-built
analytics and intelligence enables continuous
responsiveness to emerging threats.
By establishing identity-driven security, only
those with passwords can gain access to the
data they have been granted permission to see.
And to ensure security protocols are
understood and followed, we provide training
to help your teams identify and defend against
threats.

Cyber Security In Action
Case Study: Lundy Projects
Engineering and construction firm, Lundy
Projects, holds significant amounts of highly
confidential project data in its UK offices.
Staff could only access files from a single
location which was preventing employees from
working efficiently. With concerns about system
failure at the different sites, Lundy Projects
needed a solution.
What We Did
Having established a full understanding of the
business’ needs, we:
• Installed a centralised management system
via a distributed file replication system (DFSR)
• Located the DFSR across multiple servers at
different business sites
• Configured the servers to meet employee
and organisational requirements
• Rolled out the technology with a full training
service
The Results
Employees have fast, reliable access to data
management systems so they can be fully
operational wherever they’re working.
All data is securely stored, password protected
and backed up instantly upon editing. If staff
ever experience a problem with a document,
they can easily access the backed-up copy with
their latest changes.
Now, business leaders feel confident that
should one server encounter a problem another
server will take over. This means work can
continue even in the face of an IT failure or
office disaster.

Business
Continuity:
Be Ready To
Recover
54% of businesses
will be using the cloud for
backup and recovery in
the next 6 months
58% of
businesses are not
prepared for data
loss
Your IT system could be brought down by
many catastrophes - power failures, hard disk
crashes, cyber-attacks, fire or flood.
Should the worst happen, simply backing
up systems and data so they’re ready to be
recovered isn’t enough. You also need a plan to
get your business back on its feet with minimal
disruption and maximum continuity.
More businesses are using cloud services to do
this. In the next six months, 54% will be using
the cloud for backup and recovery.
SAN-iT’s three-step approach will ensure you
don’t get left behind.
60% of
small businesses
that lose data will shut
down within six
months
Step 1 - Audit
We’ll conduct an audit of your
systems to understand your business needs
and budget, and advise on the best backup and
disaster recovery solution for you.
Step 2 - Backup
For 24/7 peace of mind, we’ll propose the right
frequency of data back-ups and complete
system replications. This will mean you can
restore data and reinstall software and the
accompanying settings to enable your team to
quickly get back to work.
Step 3 - Continue
In the unlikely event that your systems go down,
your business continuity plan will kick in. This
could mean switching to another server on
or off-site so there’s minimal downtime and
disruption.

Backup And Recovery In Action
Case Study: Union Colours
Union Colours needed to ensure their global
clients could order online at any time and that
orders could be fulfilled without interruption.
This meant their IT network needed the highest
levels of protection with a watertight business
continuity process in place.
Off-site data centres copy servers and files
to allow operations to continue even if offi ce
servers are compromised. And systems can
be up and running through new hardware in as
little as five minutes. With systems continually
replicated there is no risk of business downtime.
What We Did
• Implemented a failover solution that meant
systems are available 24/7 in the event of
a disaster
• Configured advanced alerting and process
management so all parties know what to do
when a disaster takes place
The Results
Our comprehensive security and backup
systems mean Union Colours now operate free
from concerns about an IT issue preventing
online ordering or production.
Data is protected with high level encryption to
ensure it’s kept safe and secure. And should
files become corrupted or lost, they can be
restored immediately by employees to an
earlier version.
As the business grows, new applications and
software can be tested on virtual systems
keeping the live system completely safe.
“The peace of mind SAN-iT has delivered is
priceless. Union Colours now operates with
confidence, knowing should the worst happen
we’ll be ahead of the game”
