Retail Case Study
AO.com, a well known UK Electrical Retailer, required assistance in securely relocating IT equipment from Manchester to their London, Hatten Garden Offices.
AO required Rapid IT to decommission 30 x high specification desktop computer setups worth £175,000 from their Manchester offices, quickly & securely relocate them to London, and recommission them for use within a 48 hour window, minimising operational disruption.
With just a couple of days’ notice Chris and his team planned personnel, hotels, logistics, custom insurance policies for high value goods-in-transit and pulled this all together into a proposal which was quickly approved. All of this considered data security aspects of transporting devices that contain company data, using GPS tracked vehicles and DBS vetted staff. It was imperative the solution aligned with AO's timescales taking into account travel disruption on the days of the project & resulted in out-of-hours work, starting at 6am and finishing beyond 11pm.
