Facilitas Group Ltd choses Lynx Technology to provide an outsourced IT service

Lynx Technology fought off tough competition to win a 3 year contract worth £228,000.

Facilitas Group Ltd is a modern dynamic business who specialise in property service and maintenance.  In recent years Facilitas Group Ltd has experienced a rapid expansion through acquisition and organic growth.

Martin Carpenter, IT Manager at Facilitas: “Our business has ambitious growth plans, which our internal IT department could not match the demands of.  We made a decision to outsource and started looking for a service provider who could offer the level of expertise, response and flexibility we required.”

The project will be split into a number of phases starting with IT infrastructure and the outsourced hosting of Active Directory and Exchange. Future phases to follow shortly afterwards will include; the hosting of a new accounting application, Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server to deliver collaborative working, a CRM application and Project Server for the management of a comprehensive programme of property maintenance.

Carpenter continues:” We chose Lynx Technology to deliver the solution because we felt they best matched our requirements.  We wanted a proven service provider with the appropriate skills levels.  Lynx were able to prove their expertise through both their vendor accreditations and a number of customer references that were taken up. We were also impressed with the speed with which Lynx reacted to our initial enquiry. Within a week of making that enquiry Lynx had proposed a solution that, with just a few adjustments, met our needs perfectly.”
