The Solution:

everydayloans is the name behind the new, straightforward way for individuals to borrow money in the UK. As a young, fast growing business serving customers from an expanding network of retail premises getting the right technology in place to support the business was essential.

everydayloans wanted a single technology solution that was cost effective on day one but would scale with the business in supporting head office operations and the development of the branch network operations. Systems Supported provided a complete, outsourced IT and communications solution including the design, implementation, management and support of an internet (IP) based network infrastructure that flexibly supports the growth plans of the business without the need for high levels of capital investment or significant overheads.

Incorporating technology from Avaya, IBM, Microsoft and Citrix, Systems Supported has delivered a resilient, highly scalable internet protocol (IP) infrastructure based around the latest standards. Voice over IP is used for telephone communication across the business, facilitating flexible, productive working in a rapidly evolving, multi-site environment, as well as offering well documented cost benefits. The data centre houses an IBM BladeCenter server environment that offers a highly scalable solution to business growth through modular components. This Windows based infrastructure provides a cost effective approach that ensures high reliability, while the use of thin client technology for desktop computing throughout the organisation ensures easy management, increased security and value for money.
