Architects choose Codus for IT support

Posted on by Joanne Hunt

Codus are pleased to announce that we have added AFL Architects to our list of IT support clients.
AFL Architects are an international architectural practice based in Manchester, with offices in London, Birmingham and Doha, that required 3rd line IT support.

What is 3rd Line IT Support?
Many larger businesses already have IT in place in the form of an IT manager. The question is, how does your architects company cope in the absence of your IT manager? Holidays and sickness can be tricky to manage both for your business and your IT.

We offer 3rd Line support which is the ideal solution. We work closely with the IT manager of the architects practice to provide any additional advice and support they may require. Whether it is a particular problem that has them scratching their heads or providing cover for a well deserved holiday – we can do it all.

Why choose Codus?
At Codus we have extensive knowledge about the workings of an architects practice. Our Managing Director, Lee, was an IT manager for a large architects firm before setting up Codus. He has carried that experience with him through to Codus meaning consequently, we now have many clients within the industry. We have years of experience providing support for users of Autocad, Revit and SketchUp amongst others. We can also develop software to meet your requirements if you need something specific for a project.

Could we help you?
If you run an architects practice and would like some more information, give us a call on 0161 763 4529 or email info@codus.co.uk
