Digatech have been providing full IT support and services to Homestore for a number of years. The business also has a thriving online business through its web site www.homestoreandmore.ie

Since opening the first store in 2004, the business has grown steadily and this constant growth has meant the IT requirements have shifted constantly to keep pace with the changing business needs.

From an IT project perspective, some of the major changes and rollouts over the years have been:

• Project: Network Infrastructure Refresh, including the following:
  • Deployment of on-site Exchange Server
  • Deployment of clustered file server for redundancy.
  • Deployment of Application Server
  • Deployment of Active Directory and Group Policy

• Project: Deployment of Multi-Site VPN with redundant failover connection.

• Project: Deployment of External Application servers in an AD WAN

In addition to solution design and project implementation work, Digatech provide a comprehensive support service based around retail opening hours.

Digatech have been our IT support provider for a number of years and they consistently demonstrate that they are experts in the retail IT space. We operate in a demanding environment with a large and growing nationwide store network, and a growing online business.
