Stack builds £111,000 IT system for Seddon Group

Liverpool firm Stack Data Solutions has developed a new IT system to support the business restructure of Seddon Property Services, part of Seddon Group, to become Novus Property Solutions.

Tasked with providing a business continuity site for Novus, Stack has built a disaster recovery system that will be located at Novus’s new site in Warrington, due to open in September.

Aside from ensuring business continuity, the new IT system provided by Stack also offers Novus benefits of reduced energy consumption, speedier processing times and, as a more compact system, room for future expansion.

The contract win for Stack followed a decision by leading family-owned construction business, Seddon Group, to restructure and create three independently owned trading companies including Seddon Property Services, officially rebranded as Novus Property Solutions on 1 July 2013.

Mark Davies, IT manager at Novus Property Solutions said: “We restructured in order to create three independent and stronger businesses that could provide customers with an enhanced service offering and generate significant growth opportunities.

“Integral to this was ensuring we had the right IT system in place, with a recovery system for business continuity should we encounter a disaster such as fire or flood. We’ve worked with Stack for many years and were therefore confident it would deliver for us once again, by ensuring security of data, as we take the business forward.”

Steve Cobham, technical director at Stack Data Solutions said: “We’ve built a strong working relationship with Novus – formerly Seddons – over five years. With this experience, we’ve reached a level of understanding about its business, which meant it could trust us to provide an effective disaster recovery solution. In the event Novus can’t operate from Stoke, it can switch to Warrington with minimal loss of data.”

Stack Data Solutions are based in Liverpool and began life in 1979. The firm is now the leading IT and Cloud services provider in the North West.
