Access Records Management provides storage, retrieval, management and eventual destruction of their clients’ confidential data and documents in a highly secure environment.
A redevelopment of head office required the installation of a temporary virtual private network and provided the perfect opportunity to address IT infrastructure downtime and performance issues.
The Orstead Technical Solutions line of business delivered the infrastructure to support the temporary sales office and the IT Support & Help Desk line of business has introduced accountability, support and a solid process of support cost management.


The Challenge


Access Records Management provides storage, retrieval, management and eventual destruction of their client's confidential data and documents. They guarantee a two hour retrieval and delivery service and are based in Sydney operating out of a 9,000 square meter warehouse.

They rely heavily on their IT infrastructure and a number of warehouse management database applications to deliver their service.

The initial challenge was to set up a temporary sales office while their head office premises where being redeveloped.

The temporary sales office required seamless access into the primary IT infrastructure for all aspects of operation including access to files, email and database applications. At the completion of the redevelopment the sales office needed to be integrated back.

The second challenge came after the completion of the head office redevelopment. Access Records Management needed to address the IT infrastructure downtime and performance issues that where affecting their ability to deliver their services.



Orstead’s Solution


Orstead's Network Design & Installation service was engaged to set up a temporary sales office with a virtual private network (VPN) connection into head office. The VPN allowed the sales office access to email, files and database applications operating as if they where still physically located in head office.

Once the redevelopment work had been completed the Orstead Maintenance & Security service optimized Access Records Management servers. Orstead worked with Access Records Management to apply a standard operating environment (SOE) to all workstations and develop policy and procedures defining internal and external security and remote access solutions.

Orstead's IT Support & Help Desk service, Monitoring service and Maintenance & Security service have been engaged to address all IT infrastructure needs on an ongoing basis in an efficient and cost effective manner.



Business Benefits


The VPN installed by Orstead in the temporary sales office allowed Access Record Management’s Sales team to continue building the business in a seamless manner while head office underwent redevelopment.

Access Record Management had in the past experienced IT infrastructure issues that impacted the efficient running of business processes. The Orstead services have addresses all of these issues and have delivered a fast, reliable IT infrastructure. Access Records did not need to invest in additional infrastructure as the Orstead team optimized their existing infrastructure.

The introduction of a standard operating environment reduces support costs, speeds up implementation of new user accounts and assists in ensuring that each user is using the same version of each application.

The ongoing managed services have introduced accountability, support and a solid process of support cost management.
