Transforming IT For SEED Environmental
Discover how we helped SEED Environmental modernise their IT infrastructure, improve security, reduce costs, and achieve Cyber Essentials certification here.
The Client
SEED Environmental
SEED Environmental is a specialist environmental services company that provides organisations with support in spill response, site remediation, and environmental compliance. They operate by offering both emergency and planned services, ensuring that businesses have access to expertise exactly when they need it.
The Challenge
Opportunities To Improve Infrastructure
SEED Environmental’s IT systems were functional but not fully aligned with the growing demands of their business. They were operating without some of the modern tools that streamline operations, enhance security, and optimise costs. Like many growing organisations, there was an opportunity to improve infrastructure, strengthen security, and introduce more efficient management practices to better support their services.
The Solution
A Full IT Transformation
Our IT Support team took SEED Environmental from a standard setup to a robust, business-grade IT environment. Key interventions included:
- Installed enterprise-grade antivirus and mail filtering
- Implemented comprehensive data backup solutions
- Restructured Microsoft 365 licenses, cutting costs by nearly 50%
- Optimised SharePoint to free storage and reduce costs
- Deployed security awareness training across the organisation
- Installed a modern business-grade UniFi Wi-Fi solution
- Refreshed network gateways with FortiGate and DrayTek devices
- Achieved Cyber Essentials certification and ongoing maintenance
- Deployed Intune with comprehensive policies for device management
- Enabled 24/7 Microsoft account monitoring
- Integrated Apple Business Manager for iPad fleet management
- Implemented device encryption and refreshed laptops to a high operational standard
This approach ensured SEED Environmental had IT systems that were not only secure but also efficient, compliant, and fully aligned with the demands of their operations.
The Results
More Secure, Protected Systems
The transformation delivered measurable improvements across security, performance, and cost-efficiency. SEED Environmental’s IT health score increased from 12 to 91/100, reflecting the positive impact of enhanced security, management, and operational resilience. Today, they operate with:
- Secure, monitored systems that protect against cyber threats
- Reliable data backup and recovery processes
- Cost-efficient Microsoft 365 and SharePoint usage
- Modern network and device infrastructure
- Certified compliance with Cyber Essentials standards
SEED Environmental now benefits from a robust, secure, and efficient IT environment that supports their ongoing operations, reduces risk, and allows them to focus on delivering critical environmental services with confidence.
"Since partnering with Netmatters we have had full confidence in their advice and support as they immediately went to work on reviewing our processes and procedures highlighting any limitations or outdated systems. Throughout the process they have discussed with us any proposals breaking down any jargon so that it has been simple to understand. Where advice is not considered necessary by Seed they have not attempted to push this on us and listened to us and took on board our perspective as well. We have observed significant improvements to our systems since having Netmatters as our IT support allowing us to better manage our systems whilst also saving on overall IT spend" - SEED Environmental
