Managed services provider (MSP) adept4 has completed a worldwide £1m project revamping the IT infrastructure of mobile software developer Myriad Group.
The Cheshire-based MSP worked for a number of months implementing a unified IT set-up for use by more than 900 people across 11 countries. The rollout included the migration of about 400 servers to the new system as well as the integration of kit such as firewalls, data storage and backup.
Application hosting was also facilitated to enable offshore developers to have remote access. Myriad was created earlier this year when Swiss mobile software developer Esmertec was renamed after buying French rival Purple Labs. The ongoing integration of the two firms, coupled with that of other Esmertec acquisitions, necessitated a new IT infrastructure.

Peter Birkett, adept4's chief executive, said: "Myriad selected adept4 because of our proven track record in service delivery using best-of-breed technologies and because we had the skills and ability to implement the project in as short a time as possible with the minimum amount of disruption to their business.”
Myriad's marketing director Kate Hamilton added: "Our expansion has created a number of challenges: global locations; multiple standalone systems; and a substantial increase in users. Adept4 was commissioned to develop the architecture and manage the transition and transformation leading to a steady-state business capable of scaling to a single unified structure.
"Their fully ITIL qualified team operated in a series of locations throughout the world to deliver the project on time and on budget, and their commercial understanding allowed them to develop an architecture that can support Myriad now and into the future."
