BACKGROUND
Neil South, partner of leading Nottingham
accountants Clayton and Brewill had seen the
potential for expanding the business. A core part of
this expansion was to remain locally focused to
Clayton and Brewill's clients whilst retaining
central and efficient IT systems. Neil explained "At
Clayton and Brewill we had been using the services
of
netexperts as an IT support company for 5
years. Clayton and Brewill itself was expanding with
an ever increasing client base so we saw the need
for further sites to cope with this. One of the core
values of Clayton and Brewill is the personal touch
so we wanted to remain close to our clients. We were
also aware that we wanted to retain a central
database and administrative function in Nottingham
so as to keep the overheads down"
PROJECT SUMMARY
After consultation with
netexperts it was
decided that the best solution for Clayton and
Brewill was the implementation of a Terminal
Server based solution for the newly created
remote offices. This would allow the remote
offices to work as if they were in the central
office and all administrative work could be run
from a central location.
� All remote offices are able to connect to the
central central Nottingham office.
� Future expansions are more cost effective.
� All systems backed up centrally.
� Reduced need for additional remote servers,
back-up
� Security measures are much easier to implement.

The implementation of the remote offices for
Clayton and Brewill was a resounding success.
Neil commented "The installation went smoothly
and has brought great benefits to Clayton and
Brewill, we are now able to retain the firms
ethos of being close to our clients whilst
running centralised and efficient IT systems for
administration.
