Client

A tourism company with offices in 5 countries.

VAS Group was founded in 1994 and works in tourism, with offices in 5 countries. The move to a new office was the moment to set up IT that lets every office work together safely.

Challenge

Each office ran its own IT.

The network had no separate zones and little security, so one problem could reach everything.

Computers and servers were managed office by office, the offices abroad had no secure link to headquarters, and staff did a lot of work by hand.

Solution

One network, one place to manage it, all offices connected.

  1. 01

    Network zones

    Techi split the network by department and added firewall rules that control what can reach what.

  2. 02

    Central management

    A Domain Controller now manages every computer and server from one place, with the same rules in every office.

  3. 03

    Links between offices

    VPN connections link the offices abroad to headquarters, so they share files and rules safely.

  4. 04

    Email & automation

    Email moved to Office 365, we automated tasks that were done by hand, and staff have 24/7 support.

Central infrastructure

Security, network and infrastructure, all run from one place.

We centralized security policies and the network, and standardized the infrastructure. Everything now runs from a data center in Albania, for all 5 countries.
