The requirement

There were a number of reasons for the move, with Thomas Pink keen to:

  • Put an end to the network instabilities and outages caused by the environmental issues surrounding the Battersea area i.e. a high degree of invasive and disruptive building work
  • Deliver a higher standard of network performance and resilience to better support its UK and international stores, especially in critical areas such as payments
  • Use the inherent scalability of colocation to allow for a more agile, more cost-effective expansion in line with its store growth targets
  • De-risk and expedite a likely future office move, minimising loss of trading hours
  • Work on a phased programme, with the initial lift and shift to be followed by a programme of system modernisation and optimisation

Cost effective expansion supporting growth targets

De-risked office moves, minimising disruption

Support for critical customer payments

“We were looking to build a long-term supplier partnership. One based on collaborative consulting, a broad service portfolio and strong personnel.”

What Thomas Pink have to say

“I think the biggest compliment I can pay to Redcentric was that the move across to a co-located setup was really no big deal. The stakes were high – we had forty odd stores that needed to open on Saturday morning – but come close of business on the Friday, everyone was so well drilled, so diligent, so professional, that we were ready to go just over 12 hours later.”
