bluesource ensures a secure environment for Frogmore users

Frogmore is a leading UK real estate fund manager. They offer investors solutions across non-listed vehicles, customised separate accounts, and through co-investment. Based in London, Frogmore carries out all aspects of origination, asset management, planning, development and debt finance in-house.

The Challenge

Frogmore wanted to decrease their IT expenditure, simplify their infrastructure and improve their resilience and security. They had to consider whether a physical IT infrastructure or cloud solution was best for them. Many vendors who they consulted with offered a “one size fits all” approach, which did not fit with their business requirements.

The Solution

bluesource put a cloud-based solution in place for Frogmore in a quick and timely manner which did not affect their business operations.

The solutions that Frogmore implemented were:

• Monitoring and Management of Frogmore’s public cloud platform (Azure) and supporting licensing infrastructure. bluesource provides support for end users on a 24/7 basis, as well as ensuring business continuity and managing their Disaster Recovery solution.
• Deployment and ongoing management of Frogmore’s RDS Application and Desktop virtualisation software, leveraging Citrix hosted in Azure.

The Benefits

The solutions implemented enable Frogmore’s employees work unhampered by technological issues whether they are in the office, working remotely or working overseas with access required to all their business documents. Moreover, with bluesource’s support, Frogmore can continue operating at full capacity even if there is an emergency.

Frogmore anticipated a significant cost reduction for its physical infrastructure. Furthermore, bluesource provided commercial savings through the leveraging of right sizing and the use of Azure RI and Hybrid licensing. Frogmore’s contractual service and support costs are lower without sacrificing the level of service they receive.

Why Bluesource?

bluesource has a long-standing relationship with Frogmore and has a comprehensive understanding of how Frogmore operate and what they need and could therefore provide the bespoke solutions and support to Frogmore.

Frogmore was making significant changes to their IT infrastructure and bluesource had the knowledge and expertise to facilitate those changes, provide ongoing support and ensure minimal disruption to their business service all within budget.

“bluesource responds well to our evolving needs. We have a strong working relationship with all levels of the organisation, from management to support staff, which means solutions are efficiently found to any issues that may arise. It is crucial that our business operations are not materially affected by any changes and bluesource was also able to facilitate that.”
