Pinacl bucks austerity trend

Welsh MSP claims its mission to help public sector customers reduce cost of IT ownership is paying dividends

Managed service specialist Pinacl Solutions claims its recently launched service is saving its public sector customers thousands of pounds in times of austerity.

The Denbighshire-based MSP has already won a number of deals with its Pinacl Plus offering. This helps customers reduce the total cost of ownership and take the headache out of monitoring their IT infrastructure.

The service is supported by a back-end NOC, which is manned 24/7 by skilled engineers who use advanced monitoring techniques to provide real-time alerting of networks.

Organisations already using the service and seeing savings include Northumbria NHS, Thomas Deacon Academy and Wiltshire Police Authority.

Pinacl, in a partnership with H20 Networks, also signed a ten-year contract with City of York Council worth £13.7m earlier this year, to supply a managed service environment across its city-wide estate.

Liam Wynne, business lead on Pinacl Plus, said: “We have been able to demonstrate to customers real cost savings in difficult times through power management, remote engineer support, proactive monitoring and power management, and we have been able to unlock the potential of the cloud.”
