Case Studies

New Forest District Council (NFDC) were looking for a partner to design and implement a new solution to replace its legacy ICT infrastructure to enable a smarter working environment for staff.  

Like many Councils, NFDC was undergoing fundamental change and ICT was at the heart of this process. The chosen supplier was required to provide the full scope of services including the design, procurement, commissioning and project implementation. 

The solution also included consultancy, audit and technical design, together with the organisational model required to manage the infrastructure. 

Newcastle University has one of the largest EU research portfolios in the UK with a student population of approximately 25,000. 

In 2018 the University issued a tender for a firewall solution and European Electronique was awarded a contract to supply and implement a firewall solution, together with associated support and services. 

The proposed solution comprised of a Fortinet firewall and associated products. Fortinet specialise in providing top-rated network and content security, alongside secure access products designed to share intelligence and work together to form a cooperative fabric. 

The University has a population approaching 20,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students. The teaching takes place on the campus, split in two by the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and having made substantial investment, the University now has fantastic facilities. 

To facilitate the demand for mobile learning the University selected a HPE Aruba solution rated as market-leading by Gartner and Forrester. The solution was architected and deployed by European Electronique from the proof of concept and migration to implementation. To determine optimal placement of approximately 1100 APs, EE surveyed the estate of diverse buildings, including an old mill.
