iti Case Study

ITI Scotland, set up and funded by Scottish Enterprise, is committed to making brilliant ideas a commercial reality. They commission trailblazing research and development programmes to generate market-driven, commercially-focused business opportunities in the energy, life sciences and digital media & communications technology sectors.

Its extensive research of global markets identifies future commercial opportunities and drives the formation of innovative R&D programmes. These programmes design, develop and deliver platform technologies and enable the formation of new products and services to address emerging market opportunities.

The result is a portfolio of commercially valuable, cutting-edge intellectual assets, which are owned and exploited by ITI for the benefit of the Scottish economy. These assets are licensed to new and existing organisations and stimulate the formation of start-up and spin-out companies.

ITI Scotland needed a scalable pipe put into their Dundee office in order to meet a pressing need to provision a new DMZ (demilitarised zone) for use by a couple of their programmes, and also to provide them with extra operational resilience as part of their continuing BC (business continuity) provision.

ITI Scotland chose BrightSolid to provide a solution for them using the pre-installed Atlas fibre network. The solution was everything that they were looking for: cost effective; very quick deployment; scalable; flexible; and a very professional, personal service. Plus, their HQ was just across the road.

The key benefits were that they were able to meet the pressing business need quickly and effectively. Moreover, they now have a very useful and flexible architectural piece in place that offers lots of potential.
