Solar firm in cloud after software overhaul

Environmental energy firm Green Solar Installation knows all about the power of the sun, but now, thanks to Doncaster IT firm ANEW Solutions, it has tapped into the power of the "cloud".

Green Solar Installation is one of the first firms in the region to harness the power of Microsoft's cloud-based Office 365 solution meaning staff can work anywhere at any time.

IT support and services company ANEW Solutions worked closely with Green Solar Installation to provide access to cloud-based cutting edge technologies and web based access to computer aided design and accounts packages.

The installation was the first time ANEW had deployed Microsoft's cloud-based Office 365 solution in conjunction with the Small Business Server Essentials 2011 server software. 

Office 365 for small-medium enterprises gives staff anywhere access to email, documents, contacts, and calendars so they're always up-to-date.   Familiar tools make it easy to connect and work with others whether inside the business or partner companies.

The installation took place at Green Solar Installation's premises on Carr House Road, Doncaster and the technology will allow this growing renewables company to collaborate, communicate and generally work more effectively  from anywhere with a broadband connection.

"We import our own specified and designed PV (photovoltaic) panels from China and install nationally, so we have staff and business partners spread across the world," commented John James, Green Solar Installation's Managing Director.

"We needed a technology infrastructure that allowed us all to share the business information, wherever we are.  We now have technology that will allow us to grow and give us a competitive advantage."

Andrew Sterling of ANEW Solutions added;

"It is great to come across such a forward-thinking company in Doncaster, which is eager to utilise the latest technologies not for technology's sake, but for competitive advantage.

"For ANEW to win this business allows us to be at the "'leading edge' of new Microsoft products, which is fantastic."
