Case Study: One Housing accelerates remote collaboration with Microsoft Teams from Chess ICT

One Housing deploys Microsoft Teams in 4 weeks with Chess ICT

One Housing, a London-based housing association, faced the challenge of needing to quickly implement a reliable and efficient collaboration solution to support remote work for its 1,600 employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their existing video conferencing tool was insufficient, so they turned to vendor Chess ICT (through its division Silversands) to deploy Microsoft Teams.

Chess ICT swiftly implemented Microsoft Teams and integrated it with key systems like SharePoint and OneDrive within four weeks. They also provided crucial training and support, including running a successful large-scale Q&A via Teams Live Event to drive user adoption. The solution ensured business continuity, seamless corporate governance, and high user engagement, allowing One Housing to successfully roll out other projects like Microsoft Dynamics CRM to 200 users during the pandemic.
