Supporting East Kilbride businesses
East Kilbride was designated Scotland's first new town in 1947 and is now one of the largest towns in South Lanarkshire. Its planned layout gives it a big shopping centre at its core and a ring of industrial estates and business parks, including the Scottish Enterprise Technology Park, Kelvin and Peel Park.
The town has a strong public sector and engineering presence. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has a major base at Abercrombie House, and TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, known for flow measurement, is based here. A mix of manufacturers, technology firms, logistics businesses and service companies make up the rest of the employment base, and many residents commute into Glasgow.
That shapes the IT support picture in a few ways:
- Engineering and technology firms on the business parks need managed networks, secure remote access and protected technical data.
- Contractors and suppliers working with government bodies need good security hygiene: MFA, patching, encryption and regular reviews.
- Small offices and retail units need dependable broadband, Wi-Fi and printers rather than anything complicated.
- Home-based workers and commuters need home setups that are as secure as the office.
Because the town was built quickly in waves, a lot of business premises are of a similar age and layout, and many small firms in them still run an old server in a cupboard. Moving that to Microsoft 365, with files in SharePoint and OneDrive, is one of the most common projects.
