“As a multinational software business that's grown through expansion and acquisition, our DNS, DHCP & IPAM services had ended up siloed, complex to manage and not fit for purpose. We had various teams using different platforms and tools to manage and deliver DNS, DHCP & IPAM - introducing several operational challenges.

Problems included complex administration, overlapping zones, and inconsistent security & service resiliency.

We engaged Kier as a DNS, DHCP & IPAM subject matter expert for the integration of another acquisition, and to also perform a company-wide strategic review on how to align DNS, DHCP & IPAM services to our established architecture principles.

Kier produced a comprehensive architecture, strategy and clear implementation path which was subsequently approved by the management team.

Kier then played a crucial role in supervising the implementation of the plan, with this complex project delivered expertly and on time despite some challenges. This was a great achievement as many other inflight projects did not complete to budget or time during the larger overall program.

The result is a centralised and simplified DNS, DHCP & IPAM service. A resilient design improves business continuity, and we now have visibility and control of DNS, DHCP & IPAM to help protect the business from the constant security challenges.

DNS, DHCP & IPAM is now one less headache for me - if it's a pain for you I'll urge you to call Kier!”
