Home care company Comfort Keepers teamed up with SilverLine, the cloud solutions division of DataSolutions, to facilitate growth and enable remote working for all its employees.
Comfort Keepers have 11 offices around Ireland and provide home care to those unfortunate enough to be unable to manage certain daily tasks.
Comfort Keepers unique approach to monitoring the arrival time of carers using telemonitoring technology ensures that care is always provided when and for the length of time it is required.
Comfort Keepers have expanded recently and had an issue with having to upgrade its entire IT infrastructure. Consulting with its IT partner IT Direct, it made the decision to move to the SilverLine cloud environment, which is powered by the Fort Technologies integrated cloud business management platform.
Programmes included on the cloud are Microsoft Office, Comfort Keepers telemonitoring system, Logical Office CRM, account and payroll software, file storage and print management.
Bob Power, managing director, Comfort Keepers said, “We have grown by 20% since this time last year and with this growth set to continue, we have had to invest in our IT systems. We assessed our options and a cloud computing solution became the obvious choice.
SilverLine provides us with all of the flexibility of cloud computing, allowing us to continue to grow and scale our business, and eliminate system slow down due to the increased demand.
“The fact that we could continue to work with our existing IT provider made the transition even easier. IT Direct already had a deep knowledge and understanding of our needs and we knew they had our best interests in mind.”
Michael O’Hara, managing director of DataSolutions’ Silverline was pleased that Comfort Keepers had undertaken their cloud technology.
He said: “Comfort Keepers prides itself on being an innovative and technically advanced company. It was the first care service in Ireland to use telemonitoring technology nationally. It quickly grasped and understood the benefits cloud computing offered the business.
Our SilverLine platform has been built to allow companies such as Comfort Keepers adopt cloud computing with the added confidence of working with a partner who already knows how they operate.”
