Smart Aim Solutions: A Suffolk IT Support Success Story

About the company

The problem

Founder Ross Taylor and his team at Smart Aim Solutions have been steadily improving their operations and scaling up as the business matures. The company has harnessed the potential of young talent from the local area since forming in 2017.

However, while their services went from strength to strength, their infrastructure was left behind as they struggled with technical debt and communications.

'Our background is in plumbing and heating, not IT or networking. We regularly struggled with our emails and phone setup. It was just darkness upon darkness for us.'

Ross confessed that a lack of in-house IT expertise led to an IT and phone infrastructure that lagged behind the growth of the rest of the company. It was especially apparent in the company’s phone system, which meant that the team were missing calls when working at clients.

So in Early 2024, they set to task on finding a local solutions partner that could act as their external IT department and overhaul communications throughout Smart Aim.  

The Solution

After the decision to find a partner to overhaul their IT operations and telephone system, Smart Aim’s director Rob Platts began the search for help. After several others enquiries fell on deaf ears, Rob contacted enable and within an hour, the enable team visited Smart Aim’s office to formulate a plan that would haul the company up to the level befitting a community leader in their field.

'(enable) understood what we were facing, and through a simple, laid-out plan, with timeframes and what we needed to execute it, we were sold on it. That was the "eureka!" moment for us'.

Working together with enable on the project closely to ensure quality standards and reliability, Smart Aim now uses systems developed by enable to run the business. Overhauled desktops and software bring reliability to the operations, and a new phone system powered by enableVoice, Smart Aim’s service runs smoothly, with communications deliverable from anywhere and organisation that enabled consistent, sustainable growth.

The enable.services Impact

At enable, we understand that businesses across the country make incredible contributions to their communities every day, but know that implementing the technology infrastructure to support operations of their work is complex. The ability to communicate what systems do and how they benefit companies like Smart Aim Solutions is just as important as the technical side. It’s why we’re proud of our record to deliver systems that our customers understand and utilise to their full potential, and continue to work with Smart Aim to produce their best results, year-on-year.

'The second we have a user error, we can pick up the phone and within minutes, enable can be on site or help remotely and let us know what to do, and we never feel like we've been looked down on. That experience was so refreshing to us.'
