The Business Challenge

Calvin Capital are continuously looking for ways to improve their operational efficiency, technical capability and profitability.

Nadeem Shafi, Head of IT at Calvin Capital, has a clear vision to drive and support the business move to the modern workplace, which includes supplying Calvin Capital’s people with devices they enjoy using, office applications and platforms that help them collaborate efficiently and meeting rooms equipped with video and audio conference technology.

As the reliance on technology increases, so does the need for IT expertise to ensure the smooth running of the organisation on a day to day basis and dedicated skills to help roll out specific projects, all protected with robust security measures. 

The Solution

Having worked with Chess for over three years, Calvin Capital were confident in awarding them a renewed contract to supply Managed Services support.

This gives Nadeem and his team additional resource to call on when supporting their people on a day-to-day basis. When renewing the contract, Nadeem specified that the Technical Architect days should be split, giving the organisation access to a wide range of skills, including the dedicated Digital team, whose expertise include Sharepoint, Web and App development.

Chess carried out a M365 Security Assessment, to help Calvin implement best security practices with Microsoft 365. This included a Secure Score Review, and a gap analysis, which highlights areas to focus on.

Nadeem and Chess explored how security features within Microsoft could help keep company data secure, and the company are now rolling out a migration to M365 E5 licences for all their people.

Equipping people with Microsoft Surface Pros mean that the team have devices that they enjoy using, and that have all the functionality they need to perform effectively, collaborating successfully and helping drive productivity.
