Building a Seamless Move for Visionary Architects

About the Client

Church Lukas is a leading architecture, design, and management practice with a reputation for putting people at the heart of their work. With award-winning projects across regeneration, sustainability, conservation, and design, they’re known for creating spaces that deliver both commercial and social value.

The Challenge

Church Lukas were thriving in a competitive sector, but their city-centre office was no longer the right fit for their growing, forward-thinking business. A decision was made to relocate to a more modern space that better aligned with their future goals — but with that came the logistical challenge of moving their entire IT infrastructure.

Twin Systems were brought in to manage the IT relocation and to upgrade their ageing server infrastructure — all under tight deadlines and against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Solution

A Smarter Server Setup

Twin Systems began by carrying out a full IT audit and quickly identified that the on-site Domain Server had reached end of life. To future-proof Church Lukas’ operations, we recommended and implemented a complete migration to Microsoft 365 — increasing performance, improving reliability, and ensuring enhanced data security.

While email services were moved to the cloud, file and print services were retained locally on a new on-site server, giving Church Lukas a best-of-both-worlds hybrid setup that matched their day-to-day operational needs.

Relocation Without Disruption

With minimal time to spare, our team of vetted engineers worked over a weekend to decommission the entire IT estate at the old office. Equipment was carefully moved to the new location, recommissioned, and fully tested — so when Church Lukas staff walked into their new workspace on Monday morning, everything was up and running, just as it should be.

Future-Ready from Day One

With their office move complete and a modern hybrid IT setup in place, Church Lukas are now better equipped than ever to support their team and their clients. By combining cloud efficiency with on-site performance, they’ve gained a system that’s flexible, secure, and built to grow with them. At Twin Systems, we’re proud to help forward-thinking firms like Church Lukas stay one step ahead with smart, stress-free IT solutions.
