Deep River IT was engaged by Hinchtech Ltd to design, implement, and manage a fully modernised IT and telecoms environment. The objective was to create a secure, scalable, and high-performance infrastructure that would support business growth, improve efficiency, and strengthen cyber resilience.
Deep River IT began with a full assessment of the existing systems before designing a tailored Managed IT network and infrastructure. This included the deployment of a secure, high-performance WiFi network across the organisation, ensuring reliable connectivity for both staff and business-critical systems. A dedicated 1000Mb leased line was installed to provide ultra-fast, consistent internet access, supporting cloud services and day-to-day operations without interruption.
A key part of the solution was the implementation of a Microsoft Teams-integrated phone system, allowing Hinchtech Ltd to unify communications across voice, video, and collaboration tools. By leveraging Microsoft Teams, the business benefits from a flexible and modern communication platform that supports both office-based and remote working environments.
To enhance performance and reliability, Deep River IT deployed new virtualised Windows servers, creating a more efficient and scalable server environment. This was complemented by the installation of an enterprise-grade firewall from WatchGuard Technologies, alongside managed antivirus protection across all endpoints, forming a robust, layered cybersecurity defence.
Cloud services played a central role in the transformation, with the rollout of Microsoft Office 365 licenses across the organisation. This included SharePoint for secure file sharing and collaboration, enabling teams to work efficiently from any location. Cloud backup solutions were also implemented to ensure critical data is protected, secure, and easily recoverable.
In addition to infrastructure and support, Deep River IT assisted Hinchtech Ltd in achieving improved cybersecurity standards and certification readiness. This included implementing best practices, ongoing monitoring, and proactive threat management to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
Deep River IT continues to provide fully managed IT support and telecoms support, including proactive system monitoring, regular maintenance, updates, and a responsive helpdesk. This ongoing partnership ensures Hinchtech Ltd’s systems remain secure, optimised, and aligned with business needs.
The result is a future-proof IT environment that delivers improved performance, enhanced security, and seamless communication. Through strategic design, advanced technologies, and continuous support, Deep River IT has enabled Hinchtech Ltd to operate more efficiently, securely, and confidently in a digital-first world.
