Infrastructure that couldn't keep pace with rapid growth

Collateral UK had experienced major business growth — but their existing IT infrastructure lacked the scalability to support what came next. Without urgent change, that success risked being undermined by the very systems meant to enable it.

They were aware of the potential benefits of the cloud, but needed a trusted partner who could act quickly, map a clear path forward, and deliver results without disrupting day-to-day operations.

"They needed a partner that would help them quickly realise those benefits — and do it without disruption to the business."

Assessment first. Strategy second. Execution third.

Rather than jumping straight to a solution, Cordapse worked methodically with Collateral to ensure every decision was grounded in evidence and aligned with their future direction.

01
IT Assessment
Carried out a thorough review of Collateral's existing IT functions, infrastructure, and business processes to establish a clear baseline.
02
Operational Review
Examined current operations in detail — surfacing inefficiencies, risks, and the constraints that were limiting growth potential.
03
TCO & ROI Analysis
Modelled the total cost of ownership and return on investment for legacy systems versus cloud alternatives to inform platform selection.
04
Change Roadmap
Created a detailed roadmap for medium and long-term change, giving Collateral a clear, managed path to support their anticipated growth trajectory.

A platform built for what comes next

Cordapse selected the most cost-effective and functionally appropriate platform to meet Collateral's future needs. Microsoft 365 was implemented as the foundation, with a strategic management plan to govern ongoing change as the platform continued to evolve.

Elastic Scalability
Infrastructure, applications and users can all scale seamlessly to match Collateral's growth — without costly hardware upgrades.
Access Anywhere
Staff can securely access systems from any device, in any location — enabling flexible working across a global business.
Higher SLAs
Improved service level agreements for systems availability — meaning more uptime, greater reliability, and less operational risk.
Reduced TCO
Decommissioning legacy on-premises infrastructure delivered measurable reductions in total cost of ownership and a stronger ROI.
Strategic Growth Roadmap
A long-term change roadmap gives Collateral structured visibility over future technology decisions — ensuring the platform continues to support growth, not constrain it.
