Case Study:
IQUO Limited
Without any doubt, Iquo are a success story - recognised as one of the leading specialist providers of online insurance quotation software and systems. Starting out in the early days of Internet transactions in 1997, the company has grown in less than 10 years to a turnover in excess of £13 Million with over 120 external staff and around 25 working at their Cams Estate, Fareham headquarters.
"Locating on the Cams Estate has been critical to our success," says Iquo MD John McLauglin. "We originally looked for a business park that offered high-tech facilities with a good working environment. We now have rapid access to the data centre where our systems our housed - Fareham provides a London environment locally removing the inconvenience of a long drive to manage systems. We have the ability to do things here that are challenging and difficult - and impossible to do remotely."
McLauglin: "Client systems have to be up and available 24/7/365. Speed, accuracy and absolute reliability are the key requirements. NewNet have delighted our partners with their ability to ensure resilience and security (both physical and electronic); security checks and tests have always met and exceeded the most stringent conditions."
Iquo know that their software is extremely important but also that they need the right environment to match their systems. "Everything you would expect and demand for a fast growing high-tech company is here - we have the critical partnership we need with NewNet, providing speed, resilience and flexibility."
