Success Stories

"1E has a deep technical understanding of MOM 2005, and we were impressed by how quickly their consultants translated the operations management requirements into MOM consoles and management packs during the Windows 2003 project for one of our newest high profile accounts. By calling upon 1E to assist in this project meant the design and deployment phase were completed within an aggressive implementation schedule."

British Airways

"The tailored technology solution that 1E and Microsoft have developed is practical, cost-effective and innovative. One example of this, 1E's SMSWakeUp system which integrates Wake-On-LAN technology with SMS, means that even when PC's are powered down, we can remotely turn them on so that they can receive software updates."
- Graham Watson, Implementation Project Manager, SMS, British Airways



British Sugar

"1E's work with previous customers clearly demonstrated its technical expertise and that it was completely capable of delivering exactly the network upgrade we required. We were also impressed by the ongoing access to key technical consultants and the fact that the project manager, Peter Murray remained dedicated to the project from design through to delivery and post-project audit. Having worked on previous migration projects for other similar size blue chip customers, 1E clearly understood the technical challenges British Sugar faced and the best path to approach a Windows 2003 migration that ensured minimum disruption and maximum return on investment."
- Paul Morley, Infrastructure Manager, British Sugar

"1E works to a very refreshing business model. Its unique make up of technical consultants make the company very efficient and so easy to work with; its technical excellence and skills transfer have ensured that we have the in-house skills to maintain and manage the network once 1E completes its work. 1E has proven that it is the people that make a project happen, not just systems and processes."
- Paul Morley, Infrastructure Manager, British Sugar

UC Davis Student Housing

"SMSWakeUp is an excellent and indispensable add-on for SMS providing both ease and convenience. We can now distribute software and updates after hours without interrupting users and achieve high success rates literally overnight. With security exploits coming ever more quickly on the heels of the release of security patches, it is critical that we can update our systems as fast as possible. We, too, appreciate its seamless integration with the SMS admin console. We are only a right-click away from waking up one machine or a hundred machines. It is also an aid to our helpdesk, since they can easily wakeup systems in other areas of campus or behind locked doors that need attention. To round out the package, 1E provides prompt, friendly support. "
- Andrew Walker, Systems Administrator, UC Davis Student Housing

SMSWakeUP and NightWatchman fulfilled our requirements and were easy to install and configure. The software just worked. Our experiences with the product were positive and we are happy to recommend it."
- XL Winterthur International
