This is fantastic recognition for Origin Enterprises and is reward for all the hard work their team has done over the last 18 months. The C24 and Origin Enterprise teams have been working together on various key IT projects; both on-premise and hosted, for a considerable time and we are proud to have helped them achieve such a prestigious award.

Comment from Derek Wilson CIO Origin Enterprises

C24 provide Origin Enterprises, and our associated businesses, a range of managed IT services including the management and deployment of our Microsoft Dynamics ERP infrastructural solution and the delivery of our warehouse management system. Since our initial engagement the two companies have developed a key strategic relationship, that has seen C24 not only manage the day to day delivery of our business applications infrastructure but them also being involved in a number of other critical on premise IT deployments.

The C24 relationship is a key element to the success of our current hosted IT infrastructure and we can only see the relationship continuing to develop in the future.
