Case Study: Hales Group achieves centralised, cost-efficient IT infrastructure with Netmatters

Hales Group halves server and Microsoft 365 costs with Netmatters

Hales Group, a leading UK provider of health and home care services, faced challenges with a decentralized IT infrastructure across its many sites. Each location operated independently, requiring them to troubleshoot their own issues. Netmatters identified the need for a centralized IT plan and also found opportunities to improve server speeds and reduce costs by eliminating technical debt.

Netmatters' solution involved moving the client's data center to Azure and consolidating their servers from 22 down to 11 without losing functionality. They also rationalized billing and Microsoft 365 licensing. As a result, Hales Group's server and licensing costs were more than halved, and they now have a clear, centralized IT plan with full documentation and efficient, controlled systems.
