An IT Champion engineer worked closely with the business.
We provided a proposal to replace all 20 PC’s with new Lenovo PCs running Windows 10, SSD hard drives, i5 Intel processors and 8GB RAM.
The IT Champion engineer attended the site in phases to avoid any major disruption to Rotamic’s working day and transferred all user profile preferences to their new PC. During the project, the IT Champion engineer made sure that all users were working effectively on their new PCs and that they could access their usual applications and services. The project was a great success and now Rotamic has a fresh set of PCs that are fully supported by Microsoft and IT Champion.
“IT Champion have been our IT support since 2014, during this time they have overseen the move of our servers when we moved premises, then migration from the old servers to one server that fitted the business needs, this work was all out of our working hours, so avoiding any disruption. Most recently we have had our PC’s upgraded to Windows 10, this was carried out within our working hours so that users were happy with the migration of the documents and devices, this was also done with the minimalist of disruption. IT Champion offer great service and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for IT support.”
