In the Summer of 2020 Mowbray Education Trust approached Konnetix to tender for an upgrade to their IT Suite at John Ferneley College. The current suite consisted of 80 HP EliteDesk Desktop PCs integrated with 19” monitors using HP Integrated Work Centre Stands (pictures below), offering a sleek all-in-one type solution for students. The PCs had been in situ since 2014 and were showing signs of diminishing performance and needed replacing. Konnetix investigated the current available solutions, however, with ever increasing prices a like for like solution was £15,000 over budget.

Exploring further, staff at Konnetix suggested the Trust consider the Intel NUC ultra-small form factor PC which can be purchased out of the box without memory, hard drives, or operating systems – providing the ability to configure them to within specification and budget. Using the Trust’s Microsoft OVS-ES agreement they could cut costs significantly with Windows licensing. These ultra-small form factor PCs can be mounted onto the back of new monitors providing a similar looking solution to what was currently in situ.

A test unit was provided for MET to configure and put through its paces followed by approval from the Group IT Manager that the solution was fit for purpose. Deal registration with Intel and HP Inc were approved and quantity discounts applied allowing the solution for 80 New Desktops, 80 New Monitors and all components to fall within budget and delivered in time for the Tech Department to configure and install during the Summer Holidays.

We approached Konnetix who sat down with us and offered us a solution to our email server issues for our company across 3 sites. After selecting a package to suit us the implementation of this service was superb.Any glitches encountered when we went live were dealt with quickly and efficiently. We would happily recommend Konnetix as a solution to IT issues. United Welding Supplies Ltd

From Aspect Electrical LTDs initial meeting with Konnetix to discuss our needs as a relatively small company where none of us are particularly "IT Savvy", we were explained everything in friendly, clear detail, costs were outlined from the start and there were no hidden nasty extras and no pushy sales, a very friendly, efficient service and we would highly reccomend Konnetix.

“We engaged Konnetix to supply and install a brand new IT infrastructure as part of an office move for Haywoods. Great advice and competitive prices were received for the proposed implementation of hardware, software and new user accounts. The move went extremely well with no data loss whatsoever and Konnetix showed great flexibility in the way they handled the planning and execution of this important project.”

"I would just like to say a big thank you to Darren and the whole of the Konnetix team for the help and understanding that I required to get my business started. I approached Konnetix after speaking to another business owner who had dealt with Konnetix for many years and had nothing but praise for their services, Darren took the time to understand my vision for the business and that the fact rapid growth would be essential so with this in mind we now have a fully scalable cloud IT solution up and running from day one which means we have hit the ground running and that I can add staff quickly and efficiently who can work from the office, on the road or anywhere in the country."Danny SheaManaging Director Riteshield Roofing

R H Logistics had the task of out sourcing our I.T infrastructure and needed to upgrade our server room and all its servers in one go due to running server 2003, we had experienced poor service from our last I.T staff, with this we found konnetix Ltd from the Microsoft business web site and started the process with them. WOW what a difference, over one weekend they had installed a whole new server room including new switches, servers, back up drives, cabinet, all new patch cables. and it all even looks great in the server room whereas normally it just looks like a whole pile of cables ours looks like a colourful array of cables all running in one direction just perfection!!highly recommended to any company if you want to forget your I.T infrastructure and concentrate on running your business

I have used the services of Konnetix Limited now for approximately 5 years to support my IT and more lately my telephony. I have hugely benefited from their wealth of knowledge and expert, pertinent advice throughout this time. They have seen us grow from a small 1 man office to a 2 site practice with coming up to 20 staff and have always been on hand to assist. Probably the most glowing report I could provide is that throughout that time through the advice that I have taken we have not had any major IT issues and any small day to day ones are resolved quickly and efficiently. I could not recommend this company more; if you are in business then you need Konnetix to look after your IT and communications needs.
