  Clyde Paper & Print, a family business, in Glasgow and growing quickly meant that it required development of its IT infrastructure to take things to the next level. Embracing technology we moved from a traditional multi-desktop environment to a thin client system operating on a terminal server environment and utilising the power and security of cloud-based mail management.

With a 22,000sqft warehouse there is the capability to offer clients a unique stocking and call-off contract system. Arranging stock from paper mills worldwide and dealing with foreign exchange became second nature - managing production from design stage through to the finished product and quality control provided a great insight into every area of the organisation. Problem solving and designing new systems/procedures, whilst being challenging, had its reward when seeing the improved results.
