Engage Management Solutions
Helping a growing self-storage group build a secure, scalable IT platform for expansion
Engage Management Solutions LLP supports a growing portfolio of self-storage businesses, including Magenta Storage, Here Self Storage, Secure Space and Nes Self Storage.
As the group expanded across multiple brands and locations, it needed a more consistent, secure and scalable technology environment — one that could support day-to-day operations while providing a repeatable model for future growth.
Engage Management Solutions was managing technology across a growing group of self-storage brands, each with different operational needs, sites and users. To support expansion effectively, the business needed greater consistency across its IT infrastructure, stronger cyber security controls and a platform that could be replicated efficiently as new locations came online.
Its Azure environment also required optimisation to improve performance, resilience and scalability. The wider objective was to simplify complexity, reduce risk and create a technology roadmap aligned to the organisation’s long-term growth plans.
