Working with the brief from Workmates,
Control Key proposed a fault tolerant solution using a pair of Microsoft Windows 2000 Servers to deliver a bespoke application to remote sites around the UK over the existing WAN. The application is critical to the operation of the business, and delivering application response speeds at remote sites to rival application usability and response time at the head office site was foremost in determining project success.
The application was tested on Windows 2000 Servers in Control Key's Proof of Concept Suite (PCS) with the application' s developer, to ensure the application functioned correctly, before the demonstration to Workmates.
Phillip Andrews, MD of Workmates (Building Trades) Ltd. said:
"The demonstration was performed at the Workmates' head office in Reading with the application running on servers located at Control Key's office in Ribchester.
"Seeing the application live in action gave me confidence in the solution proposed by Control Key. We placed an order which was quickly and efficiently dealt with, the system was installed, and we have been running the solution since, with real success"
