The client
The firm differentiates itself from its competition through a focus on software, process optimisation and investment in great people.
A growth strategy based on service development has seen the firm develop from core accounting services to embrace corporate finance, tax planning, financial services, and business and management consulting.
The challenges
The acquisition of another accountancy firm in the early 2000s meant that the business needed to share data between employees more efficiently, sparking the need for a technology-driven approach to their operations.
Our goal
However, they found that their efforts were often hampered by slow network connections and ageing hardware infrastructure, resulting in resources often being redirected to maintaining and supporting existing IT systems.
For a business to fully capitalise on emerging software in the accountancy market, they needed a more dynamic approach to IT delivery. In order to do this, staff resources need to be moved away from maintaining existing IT hardware and to focus on more value-add activities instead.
The outcome
The new Office 365 solution provides further security to the teams at AGS by implementing two-factor authentication for all users and leveraging Microsoft and Citrix’s built-in security features
By working with Microsoft, AGS can capitalize on the investments that Microsoft makes into its products. This allows AGS to benefit from updates and new products being introduced over time
This means that AGS gets access to the latest technology in the market to support its future growth
