Dell has delivered a strategic integrated solution for PM Group to facilitate the company’s continued growth and overseas expansion. Dell has delivered a datacentre infrastructure to address the needs of the rapidly growing business.
ICT manager with PM Group, Niall Twomey, said PM Group had outgrown its previous IT systems.
“We have continued to grow internationally over recent years,” he said. “This has meant that our data storage requirements have expanded and our overall IT management has also become more and more complex.”
Dell’s solutions will help to provide effective cost control, affordable data management, and flexibility, ensuring future demands could be met as the business continues to change.
PM Group employs 1,600 people around the world, with offices near Mahon Point in Cork, and delivers project and construction management, and architecture and engineering design across a range of technical and consulting services. In recent years, PM Group’s business and data storage requirements have grown exponentially, with new customers and emerging markets challenging their existing IT resources beyond its existing capabilities.
To tackle this issue, PM Group completed a file simplification assessment with Dell to address scalability, performance, and future storage needs across the business. Dell designed a workshop to outline its Fluid Data architecture plan that allows data to move across IT infrastructure.
General manager of Dell Ireland, Dermot O’Connell, said that the Irish operation was shifting to become a service company.
“Dell has transformed from a traditional hardware provider to a services and solutions company,” he said.
“The work that we have completed with PM Group is a great example of that transformation in practice, where we were able to tap into the growing range of skills that exist within our team.”
