Scalable IT Strategy for Creative Agencies: How a Leading Agency Transformed Operations
Helping to digitally transform London businesses
The IT Challenge for Growing Creative Agencies
As creative agencies expand, managing IT infrastructure across multiple offices becomes increasingly complex. One leading creative agency faced this challenge as they grew from a single location to a global presence. Their existing IT setup lacked scalability, security, and efficiency, making it difficult to support a dispersed workforce.
Key challenges included:
- Inconsistent IT management across global offices
- Security vulnerabilities due to outdated access controls
- Limited scalability, making onboarding new employees difficult
- Increased downtime affecting project deadlines
To continue delivering high-quality creative work for top-tier clients, the agency needed an IT strategy designed specifically for creative agencies – one that would support their growth without compromising security or efficiency.
A Tailored IT Strategy for Creative Growth
Cubit Technology worked closely with the agency to develop an IT strategy tailored to the needs of creative agencies. Our approach focused on security, scalability, and operational efficiency to ensure smooth collaboration across all locations.
Key IT Solutions Implemented:
1. Centralised IT Management with Cisco Meraki
We implemented Cisco Meraki, a cloud-based networking solution that allowed the agency to manage all office networks centrally. This provided:
- Real-time visibility into network performance across all locations
- Enhanced security with built-in firewall and malware protection
- Scalability, enabling quick onboarding of new offices and employees
2. Secure Access with Single Sign-On (SSO)
To simplify access control and improve security, we introduced Single Sign-On (SSO), ensuring:
- Employees could access tools with a single, secure login
- Automated account management, reducing IT overhead
- Instant deactivation of departing employees’ access
3. Cloud Collaboration & Data Security
Creative agencies rely on large files and effective collaboration. We migrated the agency’s data to Microsoft 365 and Dropbox Enterprise, providing:
- Faster file access across teams, regardless of location
- Real-time co-editing, improving project turnaround times
- End-to-end encryption, securing confidential client data
Measurable Results: Improved Efficiency and Security
By adopting a scalable IT strategy for creative agencies, the agency achieved:
- 40% reduction in IT-related downtime, which improves project efficiency
- Stronger security protocols, reducing cyber threats and data breaches
- Faster onboarding, cutting new employee setup time by 50%
- Improved collaboration, enabling effective work across global teams
