About Ark Data Centres
The Challenge
Ark is always looking to add value, differentiate services and grow the business. Requests from clients to change or update access would be submitted by email or phone, potentially taking up to four days to action. Ark wanted to offer a secure online portal. This would allow clients to serve themselves and activate independently-approved access changes within just a few hours.

Our Solution
