How we help engineering and science organisations

Technical work depends on powerful systems and on data that has to be right and protected.

Servers and storage

Windows Server and storage designed for large files, shared projects and specialist applications.

Fast, reliable networks

Wired and Wi-Fi networks sized for big data transfers, with secure remote access for off-site teams.

Secure collaboration

Microsoft 365, SharePoint and controlled sharing so projects can be shared safely with clients and partners.

Backup and recovery

Tested backups and recovery plans protect designs, research data and project records.

Cyber security

Essential Eight aligned protection, multi-factor authentication and monitoring to protect intellectual property.

Software and device support

Support for the workstations and infrastructure your CAD, analysis or lab software runs on, working with your vendors.

IT support for engineering and science: precision from your technology

Technical teams depend on powerful computers, large files and trustworthy data.

Workstations and licences

Design, modelling and analysis software needs capable computers and reliable licence servers. We specify, set up and support them so your team is not waiting on hardware.

Large files and collaboration

Drawings, models and datasets are big. We set up storage and Microsoft 365 sharing that handle large files, version control and secure external collaboration.

Protecting your intellectual property

Designs and research are valuable. We use multi-factor authentication, access controls and managed devices to protect them.

Laboratory data integrity

Laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 must control their data and information management systems, including validating software before use and keeping data intact. We maintain the servers, networks, backups and access controls that support that.

Instruments and older equipment

Instrument computers often run older software. We isolate them on separate networks and back up their data, so they stay usable and safe.

Recovery planning

Downtime and lost data cost projects dearly. We plan and test recovery so work resumes quickly.

Infrastructure that keeps up with your work

Engineering and science organisations handle large files, licensed software and valuable intellectual property. Slow storage or an outage affects project timelines. We design for performance and resilience and monitor everything proactively.

We plan upgrades around your projects and work with your software vendors.

Engineering and science IT FAQs

Can you support high-performance workstations and large file workflows?

Yes. We design the servers, storage and network around your workflows, and support the workstations your software runs on.

Can our team access projects securely from site or home?

Yes. We set up secure remote access and cloud collaboration so people can work from anywhere with the right permissions.

How do you protect our intellectual property?

We combine access controls, multi-factor authentication, encryption, backups, monitoring and staff training, built around the Essential Eight.

Can you work with our software vendors?

Yes. We support the infrastructure and liaise with your vendors when needed.

Can you support CAD, modelling and analysis software?

We support the computers, servers, networks, licence servers and backups that this software relies on, and work with your software vendors on application-specific issues.

How do you support ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories?

ISO/IEC 17025 includes requirements for controlling data and information management systems, so integrity, access control and recoverability matter. We maintain the IT infrastructure and backups that support your quality system, and you remain responsible for validating your laboratory software.

Can you protect legacy instrument computers?

Yes. We place them on separate network segments with restricted access, apply protection that suits the instrument, and make sure their data is backed up.
