IT Infrastructure
Our IT requirements are served by an extensive virtual private network managed and overseen 24/7 by an external IT Company.
Excel’s network backhaul is served by a direct fibre optic connection to our head office and from there it branches off to each site via the virtual private network. Thus the Sites and Head Office have a direct live link between each other allowing:
- Every site access to the Company database in which all data is stored and processed in real time. Data is backed up constantly on premises and also to cloud backup for disaster recovery. And;
- Head Office access to documents and data on all Sites without disturbing on-site staff – this translates to knowledge sharing across Excel’s Client network.
Excel also utilise the Office 365 productivity suite which provides 99.9% uptime SLA. Office 365 also allows collaboration through traditional means such as email, SharePoint for an Intranet solution and Skype for Business which allows efficient video conference meetings and training sessions.
Due to the nature of where Excel staff are remotely located, the Excel IT network brings everyone together so the entire team operates as one. This allows resource and knowledge sharing to be more easily leveraged.
All templates, systems and processes are written at Head Office level; however, all are adapted to suit each individual site requirements. This reduces downtime for on-site staff enabling greater productivity.
