Case study
Nicholas Anthony
GML has been supporting Nicholas Anthony, the leading kitchen retailer, with all aspects of its IT infrastructure for the past eight years.
Their systems encompass five showroom locations, the newest of which being the flagship Poggenpohl showroom at Harrods, plus head office and data centre facilities.
Each location employs technology connecting it via the network to the other showrooms and to central servers reliably and securely.
The system ensures all users across multiple sites have access to their applications and data daily.
The inbuilt security also allows remote workers to access the system from home and whilst on the road.
