National Windscreens

National Windscreens’ 30+ sites see clear improvements through better comms.

The Customer

National Windscreens is the UK’s largest independent vehicle glass replacement company established for over 35 years and offers replacement glazing for all types of vehicles.

The Challenge

•  Existing head office infrastructure only part-integrated with the branch sites limiting inter-site communications.
•  Multiple legacy physical servers running key business systems with lengthy recovery and restore processes and high-management overheads.
•  Existing infrastructure unable to scale to meet growing business demands and industry security requirements.

The Solution

•  Managed MPLS network with internet break out and managed firewalls to link 34 branch sites to head office and disaster recovery facility.
•  Highly available Virtualised data centre with off-site replication to deliver key business systems across the organisation.
•  Business Continuity solution with full workplace recovery for key business operation in the event of a disaster.

The Results

“The project to deliver our Wide Area Network, servers and terminals to link the 34 branches to our head office was vital to the continued growth of our business. The planning and implementation of the project could not be faulted and is a credit to all involved. The business has already seen benefits through improved efficiency and cost reductions.”
