SBS Scaffolding
Remote File Access

BNA IT Solutions Business Case Study

Client Overview

SBS Scaffolding is a leading scaffolding provider that needed a secure and reliable way for their team to access files remotely. The business had a strong preference to keep data on-site rather than in the cloud, ensuring full control over their information.

Challenge

After meeting in person with the Owner of SBS Scaffolding, it was clear that the main goals were as follows:

  • Remote access to files from anywhere in the world.
  • High security standards, including authentication and user-level permissions.
  • A solution that runs on local infrastructure, avoiding cloud dependency.
  • Cost-effectiveness without unnecessary complexity.

Solution

We implemented a Synology NAS system on-site, configured to allow secure remote access using encrypted protocols. Key features included:

  • Granular user permissions: Only authorized users can access specific files.
  • Strong authentication: Ensuring data is protected from unauthorized access.
  • Scalable and efficient setup: Designed to meet current needs and future growth.

  • Configuration and installation of the NAS system.
  • Training of staff to ensure smooth adoption.

Outcome

The solution delivered:

  • Secure remote access without relying on cloud services.
  • Cost-effective implementation tailored to SBS Scaffolding’s needs.
  • User-friendly system that balances security with simplicity.

This solution empowers SBS Scaffolding to work smarter and safer, with the confidence that their data is secure and accessible—without sacrificing control or overspending.

Discovery

An in‑person meeting is essential for us, it provides a true insight into the requirements.

It also offered a valuable chance to get to know Peter and learn more about SBS Scaffolding.

Proposal

In similar scenarios, most IT providers would have insisted on a cloud option, despite it not aligning with Peter’s preference.

We’re proud to have delivered exactly what was needed.

Installation

We visited Peter at a time that suited him to review the installation.
 
The process was quick, and Peter was very pleased with both the outcome and the turnaround.

Training & Support

A new solution is only as effective as the training provided and aftercare support.

We have made sure over that the system has been working for Peter and not the other way round.
