  • Full Acronis cyber security suite: anti-virus, anti-ransomware and 24/7 SOC threat protection

The results

Manufacturing · Digital transformation

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

Higher quality of service for business applications
Better productivity for teams
Modernised, intelligent security
World-class protection for vital IT assets
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.

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

Senior management freed to focus on non-IT priorities
Connected, productive and engaged employees
Creative IT solutions within budget
World-class security for health and care data
Curatrix IT Service “just works”, keeping users happy with their technology and the number of service desk tickets low.
