One of the world’s oldest hospitality dinnerware companies – Churchill China – recently made the switch to one of the worlds’s newest provider of IT solutions – Google Apps for Business – and Churchill’s IT Manager, Alistair Henderson is more than pleased. Data transfer during the switch was handled by Cloud Technology Solutions, who has since continued on providing additional value-added services to Churchill.
“The chosen solution had to fulfill three criteria: highly reliable; highly usable and affordable. In reality the operating expenses could not increase and this was why we chose Google Apps for Business after reviewing all the options open to us. We have nearly 200 people spread across the globe so we needed an e-mail system that was readily available anywhere and Google Apps easily met this criteria,” commented Henderson, after the company had reviewed a variety of options to replace its previous Lotus Notes system.
“Now, with the solution in place the benefits of Google Apps for Business are too numerous to list, but reliability, scalability and usability probably sums it up,” said Henderson.
“Imagine just sitting back and letting someone else take the strain. Some people who read this are maybe in the fortunate position that they have someone to look after the infrastructure and e-mail systems for them. For those of you, like myself, who have to look after the nuts and bolts of the system, then outsourcing the e-mail headache means there is more time to focus on new technologies or business improvement projects.”
