Mkone, (part of the Baugur group) have used server based computing for nearly 10 years – over 70 users at multiple sites utilise the facility for all daily activities. The advantage of control and administration result in a low cost of ownership and a reduced IT cost. Updates and new facilities are introduced overnight into a controlled environment resulting in minimal downtime and users are prevented from installing non business related software. Centralised backup due to policy application negates the potential loss of data.

Thinstore provide a central skill set essential to mkone – enabling a “one stop shop” for IT services and support , allowing the 3 mkone IT staff to concentrate on retailing. Why Thinstore? Although others provide similar facilities, they don't offer the same levels of customer service and common sense.

"Engaging Thinstore to help us with our technology development was the best business decision we have made in 2007. Since they have been in charge of our IT department we can concentrate on what we do best - International and Domestic urgent deliveries. We have been able to grow our business so we are on target to achieve our goals. Thinstore are extremely helpful, professional and easy to communicate with. The team understand our needs and work closely with us. Their input has made Impulse systems more efficient and reliable. I would recommend
Thinstore with total confidence that they will deliver.

“Working with Thinstore gives us access to a wide range of friendly and knowledgeable IT professionals, who can respond rapidly to requests for assistance. They do this either over the phone, by remote access to our network or by on-site and in person technical consultancy. Thinstore offers up-to-date pre/post-sales advice and consultancy services to us in remote computing, active directory, exchange, clustering and storage area networks and have a very happy working relationship.”

David Foster, IT Manager, Bridgwater College

“Thinstore have been a pleasure to work with over the last few months. I simply described my requirements and Thinstore took care of the rest, quickly arranging 'test' units for me to try out to make sure that their recommendation met with my needs. Excellent pricing, prompt delivery and a friendly, helpful after-sales service has ensured that we will keep using Thinstore for some time to come! I am confident that Thinstore will keep me informed of the latest technologies and products to ensure we maintain an efficient and modern IT infra-structure.”

Nick Chadaway, IT Manager, United Fleet Distribution

“It’s my pleasure to do business with Thinstore and our account manager as both are ideal for our business solutions. Taking a large amount of pressure from ourselves through tight lead times, Thinstore have delivered every time. I would recommend Thinstore for any business solution.”

Elliot Watt, IT Purchasing Officer, United Business Media

“IGEL was a new name to the UK market, despite being the 4th biggest and the fastest growing thin client vendor worldwide, we had never sold into the UK marketplace. Thinstore was a partner that had a great web presence, good technical skills and realised that we have real differentiators which add value to their customers. Since then we have built on our relationship and increased our joint market share, a win for our customers and our respective businesses”

Simon Richards, IGEL General Manager

“Thinstore delivered the items quickly and efficiently. We were pleased with the service we received.”
