Facilitas Group Ltd is a modern dynamic business who specialise in property services and maintenance. Facilitas Group Ltd was started in 2006 and through a rapid expansion plan currently is on target to turn over in excess of £30m in 2007.

Martin Carpenter, IT Manager at Facilitas, "Our business has ambitious growth plans, which our internal IT department could not match the demands of. We made a decision to outsource and started looking for a service provider who could offer the level of expertise, response and flexibility we required."

The project will be split into a number of phases starting with the outsourced hosting of Active Directory and Exchange. Future phases to follow shortly afterwards will be the hosting of a new Accounting application, MOSS to deliver collaborative working, a CRM application and potentially Project Server.

Carpenter continues, "We chose BT Lynx to deliver the solution because we felt they best matched our requirements. We wanted a proven service provider with the appropriate skills levels. BT Lynx were able to prove their expertise through both their vendor accreditations and a number of customer references that were taken up. We were also impressed with the speed with which Lynx reacted to our initial enquiry. Within a week of making that enquiry BT Lynx had proposed a solution that, with just a few adjustments, met our needs perfectly."
