The challenge
What organisations in this position face
- Power instability and outage risk: inadequate electrical backup and unconditioned power threatening mission-critical rail operations.
- Aging assets and energy inefficiency in HVAC and electrical infrastructure, raising utility cost and failure rates.
- High-risk workload migration: concern over downtime and data corruption during the move to a cloud disaster-recovery platform.
The approach
People and process first, then the platform
A multi-year relationship that grew practice by practice: infrastructure and MEP engineering first, then network supply, cloud disaster recovery, security compliance and finally a managed service desk with field engineers. Each engagement was assessed on its own terms and delivered by the relevant GES practice, with one account team accountable across all of them.
What GES delivered
Scope of the engagement

- NSA compliance work under the cybersecurity and risk governance practice.
- Structured cabling and IT network material supply and configuration.
- IT service desk managed services with GES field engineers on site.
