Protocol IT have been managing all IT & IS requirements for Ruah Community Services since 2016.
Requirement: Ruah Community Services had a very high IT infrastructure. This was due to expensive IT equipment such as servers and IT appliances required to manage the local infrastructure. Ruah engaged Protocol IT to conduct an IT audit in March 2016. It was discovered during the audit that Ruah relied on local servers to manage their data, email and account, HR and payroll data. Management and maintenance of these blew out operational costs.
Solution: Taking it account that Ruah has multiple offices and always have a need to setup new offices in short notice, Protocol IT recommended that their systems be migrated into a full true cloud.
