Case Study- Mereo BioPharma
Mereo is a speciality biopharmaceutical company that was founded in
March 2015 to fund and develop innovative products from large
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, with a focus on rare and
orphan diseases.
Requirement
Mereo identified premises in central London in mid-2015 and needed a
professional IT company to project manage their new offices from an empty
space to a fully networked office environment. The finished office would
include all the necessary computer infrastructure to support twenty plus
business professionals with the ability to grow seamlessly and work efficiently
both locally and remotely.
Solution
itQED managed the design and installation of a wired and wireless based
network and then supplied and installed an HP server running a number of
virtual servers on Hyper-V 2012 as well as desktops, laptops and peripherals.
Comprehensive security was included encompassing spam and malware
protection and by the installation of Cisco firewalls.
Company-wide email was set up for staff via Microsoft Office 365 which
provides ultimate flexibility with mail available to users from anywhere and on
a multitude of devices including phones and tablets.
Multiple levels of backup were implemented, including Microsoft’s Azure
Backup which incorporates on-site and off-site backup as well as
comprehensive backup to the cloud and is based around Microsoft Data
Protection Manager.
Three meeting rooms were equipped with large format touch-screen flat
panel monitors providing an ideal environment for interactive presentations
and meetings.
Support
Having designed and implemented the new office infrastructure, itQED
continue to provide Mereo with support via a combination of remote, onsite
and telephone assistance.
The implementation of a fully integrated support-call management and
network monitoring system allows itQED to provide proactive, swift and
appropriate response to problems whenever they occur.
Testimonial
Richard Bungay is the CFO and Chief Operating Officer for Mereo:
“As a small start-up with limited internal bandwidth we were looking for an IT
provider who was able to provide expert guidance, project manage the
initial set up and deliver to agreed timelines. itQED took a proactive
approach from day one, including provision of invaluable input to the office
layout and being on site at critical times. Upon moving into the office the
network was already installed and fully operational, and users were able to
get up and running within minutes. The subsequent support has been
excellent, with issues dealt with extremely promptly, whether on-site or
remotely using the telephone support line. We have a high degree of trust in
itQED to deliver the right solutions and to maintain our critical IT systems.”
