Top Challenges for Enterprise IT Teams and How NCS Provides Effective Solutions

Share This Post

Enterprise IT teams are tasked with managing complex infrastructures, ensuring robust cybersecurity, optimising operational efficiency, and enabling seamless communication across increasingly dispersed workforces. The rapid evolution of technology, coupled with rising security threats and the shift to hybrid working, has further intensified these challenges.

At NCS, we understand the complexities that IT teams face. With over 30 years of experience in delivering Managed IT, Cloud Telephony, Print, and Connectivity solutions, we provide enterprises with the technology and support they need to enhance productivity, security, and sustainability. By partnering with leading providers such as Canon, Toshiba, Lexmark, Gamma, and Microsoft, we deliver integrated solutions that help businesses optimise their IT environments, reduce costs, and future-proof their operations.

Below, we explore some of the key challenges enterprise IT teams encounter and how NCS provides tailored solutions to overcome them.

 

Managing Complex IT Infrastructures Across Multiple Locations

The Challenge

As organisations expand, their IT environments become more intricate, with multiple office locations, remote employees, and hybrid work models adding layers of complexity. IT teams must oversee a range of technologies, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud applications, while ensuring seamless integration and minimal downtime.

The NCS Solution

  • Managed IT Services: NCS offers comprehensive IT support, including infrastructure management, proactive monitoring, and rapid response to issues, ensuring optimal system performance.
  • Cloud-Based Solutions: Our tailored cloud strategies enable businesses to migrate workloads, scale resources efficiently, and integrate hybrid environments without disruption.
  • Remote Work Enablement: We provide secure remote access solutions, advanced collaboration tools, and robust connectivity options to ensure employees remain productive from any location.

 

Addressing Cybersecurity Threats and Regulatory Compliance

The Challenge

Cybersecurity risks continue to rise, with businesses facing threats such as ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches. At the same time, compliance with industry regulations — including GDPR, PCI-DSS, and ISO standards— is becoming more stringent, requiring IT teams to implement robust security measures while maintaining operational efficiency.

The NCS Solution

  • Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity: NCS provides multi-layered security solutions, including advanced threat detection, endpoint protection, and network security monitoring.
  • Secure Printing Solutions: Partnering with Canon, Toshiba, and Lexmark, we offer printers with encrypted document handling, user authentication, and audit trails to safeguard sensitive information.
  • Compliance Support: Our managed IT solutions ensure that businesses remain compliant with data protection laws, implementing policies that safeguard customer and employee data while minimising risk exposure.

 

Modernising Legacy Communication Systems

The Challenge

Many enterprises still rely on outdated telephony infrastructure, which lacks the flexibility and scalability required for modern business operations. With the upcoming PSTN and ISDN switch-off, IT teams must transition to cloud-based communication solutions to ensure uninterrupted service and future scalability.

The NCS Solution

  • Gamma-Powered Cloud Telephony: NCS provides cloud-based telephony solutions that enable businesses to transition away from legacy systems, improving call management, collaboration, and mobility.
  • Integration with Microsoft Teams: Our solutions support seamless integration with Microsoft Teams, allowing businesses to unify their communication platforms and enhance internal collaboration.
  • Scalability and Cost Efficiency: Cloud telephony allows businesses to scale operations without significant capital investment while benefiting from lower call costs and advanced telephony features.

 

Controlling Print Costs and Enhancing Sustainability

The Challenge

Enterprise print environments often suffer from inefficiencies, excessive costs, and environmental concerns related to waste and energy consumption. IT teams must implement cost-effective printing strategies while supporting corporate sustainability initiatives.

The NCS Solution

  • Managed Print Services (MPS): Our MPS solutions optimise print usage, automate supply replenishment, and provide predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and unnecessary expenditure.
  • Sustainable Printing Solutions: Working with Canon, Toshiba, and Lexmark, we offer energy-efficient devices, eco-friendly toners, and recycling programmes to help organisations meet their sustainability goals.
  • Secure and Mobile Printing: Our print solutions enable secure release printing and mobile device compatibility, ensuring efficient and protected document handling across an enterprise.

 

Ensuring Reliable and High-Speed Connectivity

The Challenge

Reliable internet and network connectivity are essential for modern business operations. However, enterprises often struggle with slow connections, weak WiFi coverage, and network security vulnerabilities, which can impact productivity and customer interactions.

The NCS Solution

  • Business-Grade Broadband and Connectivity: NCS provides high-speed, secure internet solutions that support bandwidth-intensive applications and cloud-based workflows.
  • WiFi Optimisation and Network Security: We design and implement enterprise-grade WiFi solutions that enhance coverage, improve performance, and safeguard against cyber threats.
  • Redundancy and Failover Solutions: Our connectivity services include failover options to ensure business continuity, minimising downtime in the event of service disruptions.

A bit about Julie

As the Marketing Manager I get to work on lots of different creative projects across the business!

Hands down my Dad, he’s 100% my hero and inspires me every day!

Whilst backpacking in Australia I stayed in an old Cattle Ranch in the middle of the outback and spent my days mustering cattle by horse back and later by helicopter (apparently one of the deadliest occupations in OZ).
