Groeien vraagt om een IT-omgeving die vooruit kan

Van een opnieuw ingerichte data-architectuur tot een schaalbare Managed Workspace: bij Renewable Partners moet IT de snelle groei bijhouden.
Voor een organisatie die dagelijks honderden inspecties verwerkt, draait alles om data. Foto's, rapportages en dossiers moeten direct beschikbaar zijn, zonder dat medewerkers door de techniek worden afgeremd. Toen de bestaande IT-omgeving steeds vaker voor vertraging zorgde, ging Renewable Partners op zoek naar een partner die niet alleen het probleem oploste, maar ook meedacht over de toekomst. Die partner vonden ze in Reliance.

From the very first conversation, there was someone at the table who truly understood our problem. That built trust immediately.

Customer context

For an organisation that processes hundreds of inspections every day, everything revolves around data. Photos, reports and case files need to be available immediately, without employees being slowed down by the technology behind them.
‍

Renewable Partners supports organisations with energy labels and sustainability projects. The organisation is growing fast and processes hundreds of case files every month, each with large volumes of photos and documentation.

That growth brought a new challenge along with it: the volume of data grew faster than the existing IT environment could handle, and employees lost valuable time every day as files kept having to synchronise.

Renewable Partners worked with a smaller IT partner mainly experienced with traditional SME organisations. As the organisation grew, the existing environment no longer matched the volume of data processed daily.

"We work with one hundred to one hundred and fifty photos per case file. With hundreds of case files a month, synchronisation through OneDrive and SharePoint ground to a complete halt." New laptops and extra memory offered no solution, the cause sat deeper, in how the IT environment itself was set up.

Reason for
change

Challenge

The challenge was not just fixing the performance of the work environment. Renewable Partners was looking for an IT environment that could keep supporting the organisation's growth.

The number of case files keeps growing every year, new employees need to be able to start quickly, and processes need to stay scalable without IT becoming a bottleneck again. On top of that, audits, documentation and solid case file management play an increasingly important role.

Together with Reliance, the entire data architecture was redesigned with a smarter structure where only current files sync locally. Older case files remain available as an archive.

The Managed Workspace was also set up, including Microsoft 365 licences, user management and a scalable workplace with fast onboarding through standard templates. On top of that there are fixed touchpoints: quarterly reviews and short lines with the support desk, keeping ongoing matters clear and visible.

Approach

Collaboration

What Niek values most is the way Reliance works together with the organisation. "They listen, think along and take into account how we work."

There are fixed touchpoints with the account manager, quarterly reviews and short lines with the support desk. During implementation too, there was constant alignment, with plenty of feedback moments and room to adjust choices where needed.

Results and future development

The biggest win, according to Renewable Partners, is not just a faster IT environment, but above all the peace of mind that comes with it. Employees can keep working without delay, the organisation can keep growing, and new colleagues become operational quickly.

In the years ahead, attention shifts toward further automation, better data insights and the use of AI within core processes.
