CUSTOMER STORY
Nebest manages complex projects with secure hybrid cloud, Microsoft 365, and AI—managed by Avantage, a Ricoh company.
The Company:
Nebest is an engineering firm that specialises in inspections, technical consultancy, and management of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering projects. The company’s core activities cover maintenance of structures, materials research, and running new projects, including handling contracts, design, and construction phases.
Challenge:
To manage complex engineering projects, Nebest’s teams working from offices and remote sites need secure, uninterrupted access to critical data and applications. At the same time, the company wanted to roll out more modern collaboration tools and AI solutions to streamline key workflows and boost employee productivity, and to transition to a flexible hybrid cloud infrastructure to optimise cost efficiency and scalability.
Solution & Benefits:
Nebest engaged certified Microsoft partner and cloud and data management specialist Avantage, a Ricoh company, to provide integrated IT services, including consultancy and systems integration. Avantage has helped Nebest to migrate workloads to public and private cloud environments, configure scalable, secure data storage that provides 24/7 availability for remote users, and implement Microsoft 365 and AI tools that enable employees to collaborate and work efficiently on large engineering projects. Plus, weekly site visits from Avantage support users, IT managers, and application developers at Nebest.
Services provided:
- Systems integration and Microsoft 365 setup
- Cloud migration and optimisation
- Secure data management
- Help desk, on-site support and AI consultancy
“We rely on Avantage for everything IT-related. For us, the benefits are obvious. It’s a one-stop shop—we’re fully relieved of IT concerns. And yes, that may be a cliché, but it’s true. Another advantage is that Avantage can think in an integrated way: development, management, security, process optimisation, hardware—everything is outsourced.”
