Emerging Technology
Starting in 1973 Scottish Sea Farms have farms along the West Coast of Scotland and in the Orkney and Shetlands Islands providing their salmon with the best environments to grow allowing their business to expand to export to over 25 different world markets.
Business Challenge
Keeping Pace with Queries
Scottish Sea Farms required additional support with their IT due to their in-house IT department, that they rely heavily on, being over-saturated with everyday IT queries. This resulted in their staff having less time to focus on larger projects.
Crisis Management
Another issue facing Scottish Sea Farms was the ability of their IT Department to deal with crises if there is a critical failure during periods when their internal IT Engineers are on holiday, off-sick or at an event or meeting. This further highlighted the need for further support with their IT.
Ever-Changing IT Landscape
The IT landscape is constantly changing and technology is advancing at a rapid rate. Therefore, Scottish Sea Farms needed to be kept up to date with new products, software upgrades or applications that could benefit their operations.
