CFA UK initially began its new journey with Firstserv through a complex re-deployment of critical business applications. Firstserv had worked closely with the CFA UK team to create a solution that was flexible and had a consistently high quality of service, fixed pricing, and which helped to drive CFA’ UK growth and objectives.

CFA UK was looking for a true technology partner to provide advice and support to guide them through a complex IT landscape and create bespoke solutions suited to its requirements.

CFA Society was continuing its strategic IT investment program, replacing legacy systems, updating productivity and collaboration services, and modernising its infrastructure. The company knew it needed to upgrade the whole infrastructure to support the rollout of new technology.

Martin Davies, Head of IT, explains: “As our company had grown, our IT needs had become increasingly complex and our reliance on high levels of web hosting infrastructure had increased. We knew we needed to update our infrastructure and find the right provider to help us do this.” 

Firstserv' cloud solution ensures all of CFA UK’s clients’ data is safe and secure.

Martin Davies explains, “Dealing with the kind of sensitive data we do on a daily basis requires our clients to put a great deal of trust in us, and therefore by implication, our suppliers must also be entirely reliable. Our staff are given their own access server to our environment and are connected via a secure VPN connection and benefit from Firstserv' technical support, giving them peace of mind. We are completely confident in Firstserv to host CFA Online Shop, as with their expertise and experience of the industry come the desired credentials and accreditations. They are our trusted advisors in the deployment of our web based solutions.”
