Active Gloucestershire's Seamless Transition to Teams Voice 📲 The non-profit organisation faced a challenge with their existing telephony solution as it lacked Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and posed a threat to their #CyberEssentials renewal. 🤝 As a trusted #MicrosoftSolutionsPartner, CSG hosted a Teams Voice webinar that caught AG's attention as a potential replacement solution. Impressed by the demonstration provided, AG decided to move forward with Teams Voice. The solution not only met their organisational needs but also offered cost benefits through NFP licensing from #Microsoft and #Gamma's Operator Connect service, enhancing disaster recovery planning and reducing costs compared to Microsoft's Calling Plans. CSG's proactive approach involved meeting with AG's operations team to scope out requirements using their in-depth Teams Voice Build documentation. The solution was built parallel to the existing Horizon system, ensuring a smooth transition without disrupting daily operations. The transition to Teams Voice was "executed flawlessly", with no subsequent tickets raised for faults or queries. AG's familiarity with Teams for day-to-day operations contributed to the seamless adoption of the new platform. Active Gloucestershire's experience with CSG and Teams Voice showcases the benefits of embracing cloud-based solutions for telephony needs. The smooth transition, enhanced security, and cost savings highlight the importance of choosing the right IT partner and solution for organisational success. 📧 Email [email protected] today to learn more about how we can support your organisation.

Ensuring flexible workflows through print in the public sector. Across the UK Government and other institutions in the public sector, legacy IT systems remain a big problem. Using outdated technology can not only cause errors or failure to deliver services, but also serious risks when it comes to the security of confidential information and ultimately, the reputation of established organizations. Print continues to play a crucial part in digital infrastructures across the public sector, with the ability to impact long-term productivity, success and resilience. In fact, according to Quocirca, 49% of public sector organisations experienced data losses in 2023 due to unsecure printing.  In order to achieve its ambitious priorities efficiently and securely from decarbonising the economy to Net Zero and Levelling Up the UK in terms of equal opportunity the Government must ensure that legacy IT, including print ecosystems, are replaced with modern devices and software. Great input Ginevra Pedrotti and Thank you techUK

This is a nice accolade from a relatively new partner to us. This detection and response space is a busy one, with lots of good vendors, including others we work with and many we don't. However, what Arctic Wolf brings to us is the ability to do something a little different. It allows us to work with our customers, who already have a level of maturity in their security approach, but what they are missing are just those extra resources, or skills, but don't want to rip out what they have. Arctic Wolf allows us to integrate with a broad array of existing security stacks, pull that telemetry into the platform and allow us to build automated responses to threats. Add to this their unique concierge service, which works with customers to continuously evaluate and improve their security posture, it's a really good combination of capabilities and it's why it's gaining so much validation from our customers.
