Safe, Secure, and Operational Systems 24/7

Farro is a growing supermarket chain. They needed a system to handle their purchasing, inventory, POS, internet, and many more. They realized that if they want to stay competitive and grow in this competitive space, they need a robust IT infrastructure.

The CEO, Bryce Howard, said we “need a system both stable and operational 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Without that, we won’t have a business.”

Ever walked in a supermarket with empty shelves? Or full of discounted products about to go bad? That’s what happens when IT systems fail. You don’t get orders in time or you purchase more than what is necessary because of a system glitch.

“The security aspect is quite interesting. You don’t realize how important it is until you have an incursion. We’ve certainly learned the hard way. And learned a couple of times that the security of the network is important,” Bryce said.

Leave IT to Us

Farro is a complex business with lots of moving parts. According to iT360 General Manager David Wilson, they’re a “business that needed something done in all aspects of IT.”

“Key proof of the pudding is we don’t have to think about the safety, security and access of our computers,” said Bryce.

[The cyber security audit] puts its contents in a controllable context for me…having a review time, identifying the 6-7 different domains to look at, seeing where you are, then clearly knowing what kind of things we can work on to bring us up to an acceptable level. I found it extremely helpful.
