PROJECT BRIEF
  • Exchange Server 2003 installation

  • User email migration from POP and data import

  • Disaster Recovery and Backup Solution

  • Server based email and web virus scanning

CLIENT PROFILE

Providing a service to mainly PLC listed clients this is one of the most highly regarded chauffeur companies in London, having built it's reputation by working to the highest standards of quality and courtesy.

An ISO 9001:2000 Accredited Company that embraces new technologies by using fleet tracking and online booking systems.

 

THE SITUATION

Client had outgrown the existing POP system for email, and email management was turning into an administrative nightmare.
With a 2 GB limit on Outlook PST data files the users email needed to be kept under this limit else Outlook would crash, leaving the their email inaccessible.

Backup of each users PST file needed to be done on a per PC basis, and backup times were lengthy.
Remote access to email was unavailable and users were locked to one desk to access their Outlook.

 

THE SOLUTION

Wavehill recommended and deployed Microsoft Exchange 2003, and with careful planning was able to do the installation and migration during office hours with virtually no downtime.

All users were configured with mailboxes and the email data was imported. The latest version of Microsoft Outlook was installed on all PC's and training was provided.

Remote HTTP access to the email system was configured.

Server based email scanning was setup using Trend Interscan Virus Wall to protect the network from viruses and other bad email content.

A backup tape drive was installed and a nightly backup schedule was configured with automated email reports of backup status.


THE RESULT

Users now no longer have a limit on their data size and email can be available on any PC in the network.
Email transfer is instant and there is no need to wait to download email.

A "Global Address List" of all employees is available, enabling all users to find a colleagues details easily.

Via the web users have HTTP access to their email from anywhere in the world, with an experience that closely matches Outlook.

Administration of user email accounts is now simple through the Windows Active Directory and can be managed internally by the client.

Client has peace of mind that a backup solution is in place, and managing it is hassle free.
Ongoing consultancy and support is now provided on an ad hoc basis.

 

CLIENT QUOTE:
" I was quite reluctant to install an Exchange server into our systems as I had heard some real horror stories of how it can go horribly wrong. However, following the complete stabilisation of all other aspects of our IT infrastructure by Wavehill, I was happy to trust their recommendation and agreed to the install of an Exchange server.
The result was a very speedy installation which went smoothly with a surprising lack of user interruption, and since, we have complete email stability.
This, combined with a comprehensive tape and offsite backup system means that as Operations Manager I have the peace of mind, knowing that our IT systems, in particular the emails, are running and being backed up regularly like clockwork. I have total confidence in recommending Wavehill to sort out all of your IT problems. " - Operations Manager
