Case Study: Gillespie & Anderson frees 10 hours/month and gains secure remote access with IRIS Software Group (IRIS OpenHosting)

Gillespie & Anderson has access to data on the move with IRIS OpenHosting

Gillespie & Anderson, a long-established Glasgow firm of chartered accountants, was struggling with an ageing server and increasing time spent on IT tasks that distracted staff from client work and limited secure remote access. To address these issues the firm worked with IRIS Software Group, leveraging its IRIS OpenHosting service alongside existing IRIS Accountancy Suite and IRIS OpenDocs systems.

IRIS Software Group migrated the practice to IRIS OpenHosting, completing the main transfer in a couple of days and taking on upgrades, backups and maintenance. The hosted solution delivered measurable benefits — roughly ten man‑hours saved per month, automatic software updates for all staff, encrypted off‑site storage to bolster data protection, and 24-hour remote access to client records — freeing the team to focus on higher‑value client services.
