GCS Recruitment Specialists Case Study
GCS Recruitment Specialists, a UK multi-sector recruitment business with over 80 staff and a turnover exceeding 30 million pounds, transitions successfully from in-house to outsourced IT support with Datek Solutions. Facing IT challenges that could not keep pace with rapid business growth, GCS selects Datek from a shortlist of three providers. Datek implements a three-stage transition process with a three-month overlap, maintaining full stability throughout. Following a successful handover, Datek subsequently overhauls GCS’s complex 14-server infrastructure, migrating the entire IT estate to a new data centre and deploying a virtualised Windows Server 2012 and VMware environment that delivers improved speed, resilience, and long-term cost savings.
