Martin & Acock signs up with Breakwater.

Martin & Acock, the leading firm of Norwich accountants has signed a new contract with Breakwater to handle all of its ongoing IT requirements. As well as offering full IT support, Breakwater will be providing strategic guidance and advice for a business that is embracing technology as it looks to expand for the future.

With a head office in Norwich’s Cathedral Close and offices in Attleborough, Swaffham and Watton, the firm is keen to build on the technology investment it has so far made. Martin & Acock has always been very forward looking with its IT and views it as being absolutely key to its future growth.

After fully researching several different companies offering IT consultancy and support, the partners of Martin & Acock have signed an ongoing contract with Breakwater to be its IT partner for the foreseeable future.

“We didn’t just want the standard IT support that some suppliers give. We wanted an IT company to give us continuous strategic guidance and proactive advice so we can always be aware of the latest technologies as we continue to build our business. We have always embraced technology and an example of this is the document management system we installed two years ago. This now allows the firm to operate more efficiently as we move towards a totally paperless office. We feel this is only the start and going forward we want to take things to a much higher level” says Jeremy Robson, Operation Director of Martin & Acock.

“When we were looking for an IT partner we were impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment of the Breakwater team. We also felt that they were looking for a long term business relationship rather than just providing us with short term solutions to keep us operational. The idea of a company providing for all our IT needs and strategic development also adds real value to our future plans and is very appealing to us”

Peter Davies , Chairman of Breakwater is equally delighted by the relationship. “Martin & Acock is exactly the sort of business we like to work with. They are professional, forward thinking and view technology as a real value not just a cost. They have always been one of the leading accountancy firms in the area and we want to help them grow significantly over the next few years”

In the next 12 months as well as reviewing the entire firm’s IT hardware, Breakwater will be helping Martin & Acock look at VOIP, wireless solutions, its e-commerce strategy as well as developing a number of its internal back office systems.
