Through the engagement with Lanware, Mount Street’s internal IT team can focus on developing its bespoke digital platform CreditHub, with Lanware providing expertise to manage and secure its cloud infrastructure and support global users. With 10 offices, and plans to expand, Mount Street required an IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) who was 100% focused on financial services and a cloud-first strategy. Lanware supports Mount Street’s cyber security needs as well as complying with the ever-changing global regulatory environment.

Lanware’s award-winning, fully managed service, Finance Forward 365 will support Mount Street’s c250 staff who will benefit from the latest Microsoft technology and have access to a highly responsive 24-hour support desk. Effective Cyber security is essential, so Lanware’s dedicated Security Operation Centre (SOC) will offer Mount Street around-the-clock monitoring of cyber threats as well as providing on-going reporting of its security posture to keep its sensitive data secure and meet its compliance obligations.

“Mount Street is growing quickly, and we needed to work with a trusted IT provider who could support our expansion while ensuring our infrastructure stays compliant and secure. Lanware’s experience in the financial services industry and cloud services means they implicitly understand our needs so we can focus on innovating with our own CreditHub digital platform” says John Channing, Chief Technology Officer, Mount Street.

“We must always strive to operate to the highest possible standards in information security, meet regulatory requirements, whilst at the same time allowing the business to grow and innovate. With Lanware’s cyber security team we can collaborate with them, take advantage of their focus on similar firms, and tailor the service to our needs. ” highlights Geoff Bird, CISO, Mount Street.

“Mount Street are an exciting client to work with, they are a dynamic business, with a great team, and have a clear vision, we’re thrilled that they selected Lanware, and we have the opportunity to play a key role in their future.” Henry Duncombe, Managing Director, Lanware.
