who we have helped
How we helped a small business improve their IT setup and scale up
The client
Barwell Accountants provide accountancy, payroll and taxation services to businesses across Wisbech, King’s Lynn and the surrounding areas.
The situation
When Barwell first approached us, they were a small but growing business of around 5 users. Their IT was largely reactive, and they weren’t receiving the level of reliable support they needed as they expanded.
With systems becoming less reliable and no clear long-term structure in place, they needed an IT partner they could trust to support their growth.
What we did
We worked closely with Barwell to put the right foundations in place, including:
- Replacing their ageing server with a reliable, modern solution
- Introducing structured, ongoing IT support and monitoring
- Ensuring minimal disruption by completing key work outside of business hours
- Strengthening security with advanced protection, monitoring and user awareness training
Barwell Accountants Accountancy
The result
Since working with ECS, Barwell Accountants have grown to a team of 10+ users, with their IT scaling seamlessly alongside the business.
They now have a fully supported, secure and structured IT environment, including advanced security measures such as 24x7 Security Response & Remediation (MDR), ongoing monitoring, and staff cyber awareness training.
Adding new users, devices or systems is simple and straightforward, allowing the business to grow without worrying about IT limitations.
Most importantly, they now have complete confidence in their IT with trusted advice, reliable support, and a setup that meets the standards expected for a business handling sensitive financial data.
