FLEXIBLE IT PLATFORM DRIVES INNOVATION

To drive competitive advantage, Fleet Mortgages needed a flexible platform to deliver mortgage products to brokers reliably and intuitively.

challenge

As a company that provides services online only, Fleet Mortgages needed robust IT systems to be able to provide competitive customer service to brokers and direct to landlords.

As service quality is one of the key areas of competitive differentiation, a critical driver for success is ensuring that brokers have secure access to all resources around the clock – and from any location.

SOLUTION

CSI built a dedicated platform based on VMware and physical SQL servers connected to an on-demand storage service.

The solution also included a web-based virtual desktop so that authorised users have access on any device with a single sign-on delivered from the cloud.

A comprehensive Information and Security Management System (ISMS) provides a framework of formal security policies and procedures to ensure all IT systems operate in accordance with the strictest compliance requirements.
