The problem the business had

An investment business operated from offices in Spain, London, Florida, Canada, Los Angeles, Costa Rica and South Carolina and had no common back office: accounting, reporting, dashboards and communications were all local, so the group could not see itself as one business.

What was done

Around ten Windows applications, accounting, reporting, dashboards and a fully logged internal chat, deployed so that every launch pulls the current version with no installs to manage. Also the web reporting for the group's poker site, and the operational system for gambling floors in three countries, converting every local-currency figure at the rate for the day it was played so the group's numbers reconcile.

What it returned

Designed, built and maintained the whole estate over eight years.
