Modern, secure IT for a transport business that relies on systems every day
How ECS Computers helped Barry’s Cars move from legacy systems to a secure, proactively managed IT environment, improving reliability, security and day-to-day support.
What matters most
“we haven’t had the issues like before”
Barry’s Cars relies on IT systems for emails, quotes, invoicing and scheduling. Systems need to be reliable, secure and always available to keep the business running smoothly.
The challenge
As the business grew, their IT setup became more complex and required a more structured and proactive approach.
Legacy systems and inconsistent support created risk around security, reliability and day-to-day operations.
The business needed faster support, stronger security and a more dependable IT partner.
The ECS approach
ECS carried out a full review of the existing environment, identifying areas for improvement and modernisation.
This included migrating email systems to Microsoft 365, upgrading legacy server infrastructure and introducing consistent monitoring, patching and security controls.
What mattered most
- Reliable email and scheduling systems
- Fast response to issues
- Improved security
- Reduced downtime
- Better overall support
How ECS supports
- Proactive monitoring and support
- Microsoft 365 management
- Server upgrades and lifecycle planning
- Advanced security and threat detection
- Ongoing IT management
Security and data protection
Security is continuously monitored and actively managed, not treated as a one-off setup.
Proactive security in action
MDR identified repeated brute force attempts on remote access systems.
ECS investigated and confirmed attempts were unsuccessful.
Additional restrictions and controls were implemented to prevent further attempts.
Without MDR monitoring, these attempts may have gone unnoticed, increasing risk to the business.
Results and outcomes
Reduced disruption to daily operations.
Issues resolved quickly when they occur.
Continuous monitoring and protection.
Legacy systems replaced and secured.
Email, scheduling and invoicing remain available.
Minimal downtime during transition.
