Case Study: London & Continental Railways maintains business continuity with Cloud Direct cloud services

How LCR maintained business continuity with cloud services

London & Continental Railways (LCR) faced a significant business continuity challenge when an electrical fire destroyed their headquarters' power and connectivity for three weeks. With their office inaccessible, LCR needed a way to maintain operations and avoid devastating downtime. The vendor, Cloud Direct, provided a solution using their hosted desktop, Office 365, and business VoIP telephony services.

Cloud Direct's cloud services enabled LCR's staff to be productive from any location with an internet connection. By the lunchtime following the fire, LCR had achieved business as usual, with employees working remotely on their hosted desktops and using forwarded VoIP numbers. The impact of the disaster was minimal, allowing the company to operate almost normally while other local businesses were severely disrupted, showcasing the effectiveness of the solution provided by Cloud Direct.
