IT solutions provider axon IT is celebrating after securing a new account win with C&O Powder Coatings – a leading provider of powder coating based in St Helens.

axon IT has worked to migrate C&O Powder Coatings over to a cloud computing solution through Microsoft Office 365 – an internet-based hosted service which enables businesses to access email, documents, contacts, and calendars from anywhere with a suitable internet connection and on almost any device.

axon will now work to support the new solution through an initial 12 month IT support contract.

Tom Holmes, Director for C&O Powder Coatings commented; “Compared to a traditional on-premise server solution, Microsoft Office 365 was far more cost effective. Rather than the capital cost of purchasing a server, we pay monthly for the service and our company data and emails are stored on Microsoft servers, meaning no maintenance or repair bills.

“Office 365 also gives us the flexibility to let staff work from home if they need to and staff now have their emails coming into their smartphones which means they can provide a quick response to enquiries wherever they are, therefore increasing productivity.”

axon IT has also provided a load balance router and secondary broadband line to C&O Powder Coatings, protecting the business against costly downtime. Tom added; “We wanted a company that could look after every aspect of our IT needs – whether it be a hardware issue, software query, broadband problem or simply a question from one of our users. I see IT as a service that should just work, and with axon IT we have somebody working with us to keep that service running, who we can turn to for each and every issue that crops up.”
