An internal marketing studio manager for a Big 4 bank was at the point of exasperation when we were called in to plan a more seamless Mac experience for the studio. Windows systems administrators didn’t welcome ‘rogue Macs’ onto their domain, which meant studio team members had a second-rate IT experience, often having to break bank policies to get their job done.
Choosing not to hide behind conference calls and email, we did requirement gathering with key stakeholders and discussed concerns over security, compliance and governance. Once it was clear that Macs wouldn’t break the network, we collaborated to develop a bespoke managed desktop and server solution within the bank ecosystem.
The project was delivered by limiting the Macs’ corporate network touch points to internet and email and fulfilling the marketing department’s productivity requirements with an Origin84 fully-managed service solution.
“Banks aren’t known to be the most exciting of places for design, but we have a marketing team that need to have their Macs operate seamlessly on the corporate network and collaborate effectively.
“Origin84 supply us a fully managed desktop and server solution that takes all of the difficulty of integrating into the bank’s systems. They handle everything for us in terms of the integration and internal IT liaison, but more importantly they’re actively trying to improve our user experience.
“They’re quick to execute the changes that need to be implemented to keep us at the forefront of our industry in delivering printed and digital marketing collateral.”
