From capital expenditure to a flexible IT solution

“At Active Brands, we quickly became aware that we had challenges with our IT operations. It was an old setup that was built for operation based on on-premise servers, where the interaction between the systems were not efficient enough. This meant that IT operations became more and more unstabile and costly to maintain. We had already moved some of our data to cloud services, but we needed an IT partner that could help us to quickly move and integrate the rest of our platforms.”

Active Brands was looking for a partner that could manage their IT-setup with a SDWAN-solution, and they decided to put their trust in ECIT.

Throughout the years the partnership has changed its foundation and it is now to a greater extent focused on IT and Cloud operations in a broader context.

“As we have developed our business and faced new challenges, we have expanded our collaboration with ECIT. They delivered a good and secure network solution, and therefore it was a natural choice for us to hand over the responsibility of our
IT-security to them as well. Today, ECIT are responsible for our network operation and security, in addition to assisting us with patch management, server monitoring and backup”
