When Hochtief won a large tender to design and construct a huge hydroelectric dam project at Glencoe in the Highlands of Scotland it presented a potential IT logistic nightmare.

Computerworld won the contract on the basis of our breadth and depth of both cost effective and efficient product procurement and our ability to provide remote and on-site installation and support services.

A collaboration of our Systems and Solutions division, together with the IT Team at Hochtief and some carefully selected partners ensured all aspects of this large project were delivered and installed to a very tight deadline.

An overview of the technology/services provided included...

• satellite and high-speed data communications
• Microsoft Server Family (Server, Exchange, SQL, ISA server)
• high-volume hardware roll out including notebooks, desktops and workstations.
• on-site and outsourced ongoing support requirements for project life-span
• VPN connectivity to German head office for SAP integration
