Our Solution

Coretek stepped in to address Bluecrest’s IT challenges by providing a comprehensive solution. The key components of the solution included:

Modernisation and Azure Migration: Coretek modernised Bluecrest’s systems by decommissioning their legacy on-premise infrastructure and migrating them into a cloud-based Azure native environment. This transition not only enhanced their scalability but also streamlined IT operations.

Security Baselining: A critical aspect of the solution was the implementation of a full security baseline across their entire IT estate. This effort significantly improved security standards and helped protect their valuable data.

Veeam Backup Implementation: Coretek helped implement Veeam backup to ensure the reliable backup of vital Microsoft 365 data, offering peace of mind and data recovery capabilities in the event of data loss.

Don't just take our word for it

“Our partnership with Coretek has been incredibly rewarding. As a company that prioritises IT security, we’re thrilled with the comprehensive approach they’ve taken to modernisation with our Azure migration. Not only have they saved us money and optimised our IT infrastructure, but their security-first mindset has significantly reduced our risk and provided enhanced protection for our systems and data. Perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of our collaboration is the data resilience achieved through our Veeam backup implementation. We’re confident in our ability to recover and protect our data.

We highly recommend Coretek for their cost-saving solutions, efficient IT infrastructure recommendations and unwavering commitment to a ‘security-first’ approach. What excites us even more is our matched commitment to continuous improvement, which makes us look forward to enhanced IT infrastructure over the longer term.”
