Case Study - Ellis Whittam

"Pro-Networks is an extension of our I.T. Department and the synergy between us allows Ellis Whittam to call upon a spectrum of I.T. support and consultancy services, ranging from tactical help through to strategic project support and consultancy. Over the years, Pro-Networks has certainly aided rapid growth and technology change at Ellis Whittam and I am always impressed by both the expertise and by the commitment to excellent service provided by every member of ‘team Pro’"

Steve Clark, Chief Technology Officer

Cheshire-based Ellis Whittam provides employment law, HR and Health & Safety support services to employers of every size and from every sector throughout the UK. Established in 2004 by leading solicitor Mark Ellis, the business still operates to the same principles of quality, value and a personalised service that it was founded on.

Pro-Networks’ relationship with the company dates back to those early days when it installed Ellis Whittam’s first-ever server.  The relationship has grown and flourished as both businesses continued to grow both in size and success. That original server has been replaced on several occasions.

Over the years the Pro-Networks team has provided, updated and replaced all Ellis Whittam’s IT infrastructure, as well and installing a CRM system and providing all the required training.

More recently, the customer’s email service has been migrated to the latest version and a disaster recovery solution has been implemented.

Even though Ellis Whittam created and still operates its own in-house IT team, Pro-Networks remains a respected, valued and trusted partner with our engineers regularly attending and contributing to the customer’s IT management meetings.

The relationship is a case study in how a business’ in house IT team can work together with and benefit from a dedicated external IT service provider.

The day-to-day engagement between the two businesses is based upon an authentic and sustainable partnership which ensures that the Ellis Whittam team can continue to deliver its services and maintain its high reputation confident in the knowledge that all aspects of its vital IT infrastructure are operating to the highest standards of reliability, security and efficiency.
