Industry

Challenge
ADP's ageing IT setup couldn't keep pace with international growth and hybrid working, causing frequent downtime and disrupted access to essential software. The firm needed a cloud-first partner willing to understand its needs rather than sell a generic package.
Results
Since partnering with ITbuilder, ADP has enjoyed 100% uptime, sub-1-hour support response times, and seamless cloud access across all its UK, Cyprus, and Turkey offices. IT disruption during international expansion dropped to zero.

About ADPL
Accounting Direct Plus (ADP) is an established accountancy firm operating across three UK offices, plus international locations in Cyprus and Turkey. As the firm modernised toward digital-first operations, it faced growing client expectations for real-time service and needed the flexibility to support hybrid working across a distributed, multi-country team.The Challenge
ADP partnered with ITbuilder for managed IT support built around a genuine, consultative partnership rather than a generic service contract. ITbuilder delivered:
- Managed IT support paired with cloud migration services
- A strategic partnership approach focused on tailoring solutions to ADP's actual requirements
- Cloud-first infrastructure to support remote and distributed working across all locations
- Ongoing managed support spanning ADP's UK, Cyprus, and Turkey offices
As one ADP team member put it: "Most providers tell you what they can do. He asked what we needed and came back with a solution that fit us perfectly."
