The challenge

In order to ensure that staff had full IT capabilities across seven new sites, Havas UK needed an integrated structure to help employees meet customer requirements. The media agency also needed to make sure that all of its data was secure and could be accessed by multiple users, including those who use Mac workstations.

The solution

Proact deployed a NetApp FAS solution across the seven sites, along with backup targets in two data centres, to ensure that the agency's data remained backed-up and secure at all times. Proact’s Professional Services and Project Management were also chosen to support this work, enabling a seamless migration to the new infrastructure solution. Havas ultimately benefited from a consolidated environment that enables staff to collaborate and work remotely.

Our biggest challenge over the 12 months is not only to bring together our two groups and work closer, but to find the technology and partners to deliver the complex environment needed to support our clients.
