Improving charity services with Microsoft 365 and Acronis Cyber Protect
Hampton Trust — community interventions charity
Hampton Trust delivers pioneering community interventions for families experiencing domestic abuse, and rehabilitation programmes for individuals in the criminal justice system.
The challenge
As a regulated charity, Hampton Trust needed to modernise its IT for modern working and to meet the critical security requirements of the partner organisations it shares data with. Specifically, it needed Cyber Essentials Plus, or it risked losing its charitable funding.
The Curatrix solution
- An initial Cyber Essentials audit
- Curatrix Vanguard Device as a Service (DaaS) with business-grade Lenovo laptops
- Microsoft 365 Business Premium, including Teams and SharePoint
- Full Acronis cyber security suite: anti-virus, anti-ransomware and 24/7 SOC threat protection
- Microsoft 365 Defender Plan 1 and enforced multi-factor authentication
- Unlimited IT support during business hours
The results
We continue to be able to share sensitive information and work collaboratively with our partners and fellow public sector partners thanks to Curatrix helping us meet their critical security requirement: Cyber Essentials Plus.

Core manufacturing IT and applications transformed
Hydralectric — manufacturing, £12m turnover
Hydralectric is a mid-sized manufacturer with £12m turnover and 90 staff. A management buy-out backed by Rockpool Private Equity made investment in IT a priority for rapid growth.
The challenge
A Curatrix audit identified security threats and processes ripe for digital transformation. Core applications — Sage ERP and bespoke order-processing code hosted on-premises — needed modernising, and the customer-service process needed better remote access, collaboration and document control.
The Curatrix solution
- Microsoft E3 for productivity, collaboration and connected experiences
- Core applications rewritten from VB.NET to web-based ASP.NET
- Microsoft Access database migrated to Power BI in the cloud
- Sage ERP upgraded to the 200c cloud solution
- Whole-estate upgrade: multi-site SDN, cloud phone system and a full laptop & desktop refresh
- Acronis Cyber Protect and an IT support desk
The results
The world moves fast and we do too. Curatrix is integral to our engineers delivering design and manufacturing excellence. By reinvesting in our teams with technology supported by Curatrix, Hydralectric is not only a great place to work, but a trusted partner for customer service and aftercare.

Stable and flexible IT infrastructure
Tricuro — health and care services provider
Tricuro is a mid-sized health and care services provider with over 1,000 staff, working hard to attract, retain and deploy its workforce across 12 care services.
The challenge
Tricuro needed to shift its IT support culture from a local-government service to a more dynamic, flexible one capable of maintaining a stable infrastructure, with better connectivity and strong data-analysis capability, so it could focus on core business.
The Curatrix solution
- Migration away from local-authority in-house IT support
- A full helpdesk, including out-of-hours cover
- A new telephone solution (LG Ericsson iPECS)
- Networking hardware, cabling, secure Wi-Fi, firewall and VPN (Ubiquiti)
- Microsoft 365 E3 with Zero Trust security, Power BI, Power Automate and SharePoint development
- Acronis Cyber Protect cloud backup, AutoPilot deployment and Scalepad asset management
The results
Curatrix IT Service “just works”, keeping users happy with their technology and the number of service desk tickets low.
