Calibre Real Estate, a boutique Real Estate Agency with 13 staff was going through a period of rapid growth and becoming increasingly reliant on the integrity of their IT systems.

Recurring IT problems combined with unpredictable response times from their existing IT support provider were proving to be a costly combination. The client was seeking a provider whom could provide expert advice in prevent recurring problems and also take accountability for their IT systems without breaking budget.

An audit conducted by an R & G Senior Consultant revealed a number of vulnerabilities caused by the ad-hoc, 'band-aid' approach to managing Calibre Real Estate's IT infrastructure.

R & G produced a strategic roadmap to help the business plan and manage their growth without running into IT problems. An IT support plan backed by R & G’s service-level agreement ensured 24/7 attention to systems and guaranteed response time to reduce downtime and increase productivity.

Removing IT headaches has allowed staff to focus on key tasks; creating significant cost benefits to the business by increasing productivity and eliminating downtime.

IT issues are now resolved in a matter of hours rather than days; with critical faults addressed on average within 15 minutes. Most importantly, R & G has helped Calibre Real Estate change the role of IT from being an operational pain to a strategic facilitator in growing the business.

Here's what Alice had to say about R & G:

"We received no 'service' from our previous IT Company so the attention and commitment which the professional team at R & G has continually shown us since coming on board is certainly impressive – it makes us feel like we are getting value for money and support we can rely on. I am sure the guys would agree that there have certainly been quite a few bridges to cross with getting our systems up to scratch!"

Calibre Real Estate have realised a number of benefits since engaging R & G to deliver IT Support:

• Faster response times to IT issues
• Ability to focus on growing their business, as opposed to IT challenges
• Improved level of partnership
• Flexibility to grow without being limited by IT platform
