Accelerating our Finance Asset clients growth with VoIP & Unified Communications
Founded in 2010, our clients are asset finance experts, making vehicle and asset finance personal. With accelerated growth, the business continues to grow across multiple locations.
The company’s Issues : no communications solutions to support their accelerated growth
Our client needed a solution that provided flexibility, enabled the team to communicate across multiple locations and was future proof to meet the needs of a growing business.
As their growth had accelerated considerably over recent years, they had been able to implement the operational solutions needed to support that growth.
As a consequence, their on-premises solutions were not able to support the telecommunications needs of their multiple locations. Handsets were outdated and transferring calls impossible, making it impossible for the business to offer the high level of service they desired.
Our challenge was to provide:
- A competitive cloud package to replace existing hosted solution from a cost effective and feature rich perspective
- Scalability for ongoing business expansion
- Easy to use handsets with directory to quickly identify incoming and outgoing contacts
- Effective solution for a high call environment
- Simple to use customer and IT manager online portal
- Reliable and resilient communication
Our solutions : Cloud-based VoIP with Unified Communications
After considering the accelerated growth of the business as well as the desire to be scalable, flexible and offer the superior service to their clients that was so desired, iPECS Cloud was really the only answer, combing that with unified communications and configuring their telecommunications so that they could work in call and hunt groups across the multiple sites.
iPECS cloud provides the flexibility to add new users simply and easily as required to reflect the ambitious growth plans of the finance asset business. Adding Unified Communications to their solutions has been invaluable to their customer service enabling staff to make calls that appear from the office from any location. Field staff can easily collaborate through the apps file sharing, conference voice or video call option and instant messaging features
There was still a desire for traditional handsets, so we recommended the LIP – 9030 with a flexible directory to handle high volume and by distributing phone calls from a single number to all staff using a hunt group has driven business efficiency.
Voicemail to Email enables staff to quickly return missed calls to ensure high standards of customer service and the ability to save correspondences which can easily be shared amongst the team
As a young, progressive and ambitious growing company, we needed to ensure we aligned ourselves with a communication system that not only supported our current growth but also supported us in the future and we feel the iPECS system does that.” Tom Co-Owner

Is Your Office Printer a Way In for Cybercriminals?
Most small businesses think of cyber security as a laptop problem, a server problem, or an email problem. The office printer rarely gets a mention, yet it is connected to your network, holds a hard drive, and processes some of the most sensitive documents in the business, from invoices to HR letters and client contracts. However, it is important to realise that office printer vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals, potentially leading to cyber attacks. A modern multifunction printer is a computer. It has an operating system, a network connection, often Wi-Fi, and increasingly a…
The Cyber Resilience Act: what it means for your business
By Stephen Cook From 11th September 2026, a new EU regulation starts changing how connected products and software are built, sold and supported – and UK businesses trading into Europe are firmly in scope [1] [2]. Here is what the Cyber Resilience Act actually requires, why it matters beyond the compliance paperwork, and how Espria helps clients meet it. What is the Cyber Resilience Act? The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is an EU regulation – Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 – that sets mandatory cybersecurity requirements for “products with digital elements.” In practice, this covers hardware and software that can connect to a device or network: IoT devices,…
The Hidden Costs of Printing: How Managed Print Services Reduce Business Waste
Introduction For many organisations, printing is viewed as a routine operational expense. Printers are purchased, toner is replaced when needed, and documents continue to flow through the business without much scrutiny. However, the true cost of printing extends far beyond paper and ink. Unmanaged print environments often create hidden expenses through inefficient device usage, excessive energy consumption, IT support demands, security risks, and employee downtime. These costs can accumulate significantly over time, impacting productivity and profitability. This is particularly relevant as businesses seek to optimise operations, reduce waste, and improve sustainability while controlling expenditure. Whether…
Can Your Business Actually Recover? The Operational Resilience Question Most SMEs Cannot Answer
Operational resilience is not a technology problem. It is a business problem. And until boards and leadership teams own it, no amount of IT investment will be enough. The Gap Between Confidence and Reality Most organisations believe they are more resilient than they are. The backups are running. The antivirus is licensed. The IT team knows what they are doing. That confidence, in our experience, rarely survives first contact with an actual incident. The question is not whether your systems are protected. The question is whether your business can keep delivering its most important services…
Why the Sophos–Microsoft Partnership Matters – Especially for Education, Financial Services and Legal Organisations
For most organisations today, Microsoft is the foundation of how you operate and on top of this there is also a requirement for regulatory compliance and operational resilience. Whether it’s Microsoft 365 for collaboration, Teams for communication, or Azure for infrastructure, these platforms sit at the heart of day-to-day business. But for sectors like Education, Financial Services, and Legal, that reliance comes with heightened risk, and responsibility. These organisations are not only prime targets for cyber attackers, they are also subject to strict regulatory, data protection and governance obligations. That’s why the partnership between Sophos…
Why Cyber Resilience Can’t Be Audited Once a Year: Lessons from the UK Cyber Action Plan
Moving from box‑ticking compliance to real‑world cyber readiness Written by Richard Puckey Cyber security has a confidence problem For years, many organisations have taken comfort in annual cyber audits, certifications and compliance checklists. Pass the audit, tick the box and move on. On paper, everything looks secure. The problem? Cyber threats don’t operate on an annual cycle. The UK’s Cyber Action Plan is a clear signal that this approach is no longer enough. It challenges businesses to rethink cyber security not as a periodic compliance exercise, but as a living, breathing capability and culture that must stand up…
