Caltech CRM switch from on-premise to Citadel Technology’s secure hosted platform

From scoping customers projects, implementation and training, Caltech CRM provides a complete end-to-end service so that their customers can experience the full benefits of Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Caltech CRM work with organisations across the UK, supporting businesses and are known for being a reliable Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner.

Why did Caltech make the switch?

Rebecca Fawcett, Project Manager at Caltech CRM, explained that before moving to the cloud, they were based on-premise. One of the main incentives for moving to the cloud was to look for a more efficient solution for their email hosting and to make it easier for the Caltech team to be updated when on the move.

“Prior to working with the Citadel team, the job of acquiring Microsoft licencing was our Technical Director’s. However, this was often time consuming and complicated. But since we decided to make the switch from on-premise to the cloud, our Technical Director has found he now has more time to focus on Caltech’s core objectives. This is all because of the simple ordering process on the hosted desktop.”

“Working with Citadel has made it easy for me to access my desktop remotely without hardly any changes at all. This has managed to save me so much time and stress. Having the ability to work without obstructions has allowed me to operate from anywhere.”

By choosing a cloud-based solution with Citadel’s Hosted Desktop, Caltech CRM have seen a boost in team productivity and efficiency, with the added benefit of a secure business continuity plan in place. This has proven to be crucial during the UK lockdown caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, in which the team at Caltech have continued to work seamlessly from home.

As well as being secure and efficient, businesses can continue to work anytime and anywhere using the Citadel’s hosted desktop.

“Moving to Citadel was extremely smooth and painless. Andy and his team gave me all the information I needed right at the beginning of the transition, so I never felt in the dark. They still provide a quick and friendly support service for any questions or issues I may have from time to time. Their support team are fantastic at answering my questions and it shows that they care for their customers…  I know that if I ring or email someone at Citadel, I will get a response within minutes, and that’s what I love about them.”

Our main goal for Caltech was ensuring that the team could work efficiently and securely when on the move, causing no disruption to their current workload. Not only have we managed this through our hosted workspace, we have help Caltech CRM to reduce their IT budget. Moving to a hosted desktop meant changing to a manageable monthly operating expense from an expensive up-front CAPEX plan.

This has helped Caltech to invest in alternative areas within their organisation and to re-focus on expanding their business further nationwide.
