Legat Owen is a Chartered Surveyor and Commercial Estate Agent company based on the North West.
Sue Wigfield, Director at Legat Owen, said: “Because of the nature of our business, employees are regularly out of the office carrying out inspections and viewings.”
They were looking for a solution that would help their employees work remotely without hindering their productivity.
We have been working upgrading and migrating a number of Legat Owen’s key applications and services over to a Cloud-based platform since 2018.
Based across two separate sites, our team took the time to evaluate Legat Owen’s current systems, before proposing and delivering the right solutions at the right value point.
We moved data and key operational applications into Microsoft Azure and we are now in the process of moving and introducing / training the team on using SharePoint Online and OneDrive as part of their day-to-day productivity environment, alongside Office 365.
As well as this on-going project work, we continue to support the team at Legat Owen and maintain their systems on a day-to-day basis with our IT Support Desk team being on hand to help, whether that’s over the phone, via e-mail or visiting the site.
Technology underpins the whole Legat Owen operation and so, it was incredibly important to deliver a solution that worked across the entire staff base working in close collaboration with various members of the Legat Owen team.
Sue Wigfield, Director at Legat Owen, said: “Thanks to Highstream, employees are able to view important documents and keep up to date with their emails wherever they are.
“We’re also now able to encourage flexible working across the business by enabling our employees to work from home or away from the office as and when needed.
“Highstream completely took the reins with this project – as well as taking the stress away from my job – and have truly delivered for us. They continue to be an appreciated and valued day-to-day support network for the business and I look forward to a fantastic working relationship with the Highstream team both now and into the future.”
