Case study: Inflecto Systems

Inflecto Systems is a Sheffield based software development company that has been trading since 2006. It is owned by Ross Mason and Andrew Jermy who are both from Sheffield.

Primarily operating within the Yorkshire region, the company develops and hosts bespoke software systems for small to medium sized businesses. These range from small, highly customised CRM systems, through to cloud enabled, multi-tenanted applications. The end product is a streamlined software solution that allows clients to manage their business conveniently and from anywhere that has an internet connection.

Superfast broadband

A quality broadband service is business critical to Inflecto Systems. Over the years, the company has worked with a number of different ISP’s to try and achieve this, but all proved to be unreliable and expensive. Then they were introduced to ask4, an Internet Service Provider connecting homes and businesses to the Digital Region network.

As a local company, ask4 were able to visit the Inflecto Systems offices and get a good understanding of their needs before suggesting a solution. Inflecto Systems connected to the Digital Region network in September 2011, giving them a secure, reliable and superfast service. Tasks that would previously take over half an hour to complete can now be carried out in a matter of minutes.

The company Directors homes are also connected to the Digital Region network, allowing them to work as efficiently at home as they do in the office. This is critical for the company as work queries can occur at all hours of the day and night.

Future proofed communications

With the company expanding, connection to Digital Region has also future proofed business communications, giving the company a broadband service that is able to cope with increased demands without compromising on speed or quality of service. The current broadband speed experienced at the office is 37Mbps down and 6Mbps up.

Ross Mason, Head of Technology at Inflecto systems said, “Our business wouldn’t survive without a good broadband connection, so connecting to the Digital Region network has given the whole company peace of mind. We know that our network is secure and everyone can deliver their job worry free.

“The connection has also made us more time-efficient and in business time is money. We push information out to data centres on a daily basis and previously this would take 35 to 40 minutes. Now with superfast broadband from Digital Region, this only takes a couple of minutes which is a significant improvement.

“Going forward we are looking to expand the business and so need a good connection to deal with potential increased demand. Digital Region ensures we can grow at a superfast rate and be confident that our network will support our ongoing needs.”
