The University Square Stratford project required a shared IT infrastructure for up to 200 endpoints across both Universities. The IT management team was challenged to provide a fully-functioning desktop experience delivered from Bloomsbury, for Birkbeck students accessing the University Square Stratford campus IT systems.
