Background
LCP wanted greater autonomy, as its specialist investment management IT needs differed significantly from those of its parent company. It also faced challenges with inefficient data archiving and limited access. To support its global, laptop-based team and ensure secure, compliant daily operations, LCP needed a specialist managed service provider.
Solution
LCP selected financial services specialist Lanware and its award-winning Finance Forward 365 solution to deliver a fully managed service covering end-user support, modern workplace tools, unified communications, and a dedicated Security Operations Centre. Lanware migrated LCP’s core systems to the cloud, enhancing data archiving, access, and security. Its 30 global users now benefit from secure remote working and around-the-clock support, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
“We’ve been working with Lanware for four years now, and I’ve found them to be proactive, responsive, and flexible, which is really important to us. Because we're of a similar size, they’re also highly accessible, and we’ve built a strong relationship. They understand our business implicitly and can quickly identify solutions to problems we didn’t even know we had which is invaluable.”
