Platinum Technology transformed Autosports Group’s IT infrastructure, boosting efficiency, security, and innovation in the automotive industry.

In 2023, the Autosports Group contacted Platinum Technology requiring expertise and support. While ASG had experienced significant growth over the years, they had no IT strategy and the lack of past investment was impacting their business operations.

Our experience with Platinum Technology was transformative.

.Their technical expertise in upgrading our complex systems to a secure Microsoft public cloud environment was outstanding. The team’s professionalism and the seamless collaboration in redesigning our firewall and switching infrastructure underpinned a significant modernisation without impacting our daily business operations. Their ability to meet deadlines and ease of partnership sets them apart. Standardising our networks and computing environment has brought immense efficiency gains.
