the need to work
across time zones from

Strategy
A key step was the
adoption of cloud-
based Microsoft Office
365, cornerstone of the
company’s strategy of
supporting their fast
growth without
increasing on-premises
infrastructure.
Point-to-point VPNs stretched by our expansion were creating an administrative nightmare

Collaboration is critical to
keeping everything in step.
Too many stand alone
servers running apps, too
many servers

BT Cloud Connect – direct connectto both Office 365 & Azure Clouds. BT Cloud Connect ExpressRoute brings with it a
management wrap that matches the service levels enjoyed by enterprise networks. It confers greater integrity and robustness to the cloud, something you don’t get with public internet connections.
Andy Matthews, IT Manager, Houlder.
“
“With Microsoft Office 365 I know everything’s always in-sync version-wise. Collaboration has quickly become the way we do business around here. Rather than sending an email, and losing a day waiting for someone to respond, we organise video conferences when all ends of the conversation are in the office. That maintains the momentum.
With Connect ExpressRoute we benefit from consistently high performance and reliability. Along with its inherent security this supports our strategy of reducing dependence on in-house infrastructure.
