The Challenge
Business requirements had changed following the demerger of DX from Hays Group and IT capabilities needed to evolve to meet these needs. A further challenge was to build up a skilled in-house IT team. It was felt that outsourcing met the requirements of the business in terms of managing the IT infrastructure, providing access to new technologies and capacity for growth. DX decided to work with Attenda to manage the infrastructure for its critical business applications.
The Solution
Attenda manages DX’s entire server operations, running SAP, Track and Trace, Call Centre Management and other business critical applications. The solution included the implementation of a new version of SAP, upgrade of all of the servers and operating systems, and implementation of Microsoft Exchange, Blackberry Enterprise, Vodafone CPRS and SharePoint; with all of the servers and applications hosted in Attenda’s data centre.

- 24 x 7 operation with peak time support
