With over 22 years of trading history, Aspen Solutions has braved the last 12 months well as they work on new client projects remotely to protect their clients and team whilst lockdowns were in place.

Loganair has been busy supporting Scotland’s island community throughout the pandemic and maintaining scheduled links for essential passenger travel, delivering mail and parcels. The airline has also been flying contracts for oil and gas companies, in addition to providing dedicated air ambulance capability for the Scottish Ambulance Service.

Paul Harkins, managing director of Aspen Solutions, said: “As with many in the aviation sector, Loganair revenues have been affected in the pandemic. They had to review the current cost base, as well as adapt to meet customers’ needs with a partially remote workforce. As with many businesses, Microsoft Teams has become an integral tool for external and internal video meetings.

“As we’re a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner and a cloud services provider (CSP) of Microsoft products, we knew we could be a great asset to the client. We worked with Loganair’s internal IT team to build a tailored solution to suit the needs of the different user groups in the business.”

The strategy presented by the Aspen Solutions team reduced costs by 15% for the airline. This change will result in ten of thousands of pounds saved over the next few years. This tremendous saving will help Loganair manage their overhead as they fly out of the pandemic.

Rob Millar, IT manager at Loganair, added: “After what the world has been through recently, it is never been more important to have strong working partner relationships. The efficient approach by the team at Aspen Solutions was clear from the start.

“The financial savings provided by their strategy will make a huge difference to our airline for years to come. Customer service is something that Loganair value greatly. I’m delighted that Loganair have Aspen Solutions to help with our IT support.”
