Låsteam achieved a successful IT transformation with a cloud-based Azure solution.
Låsteam is a full-scale security company that delivers complete security systems to customers across Sweden and requires stable IT operations around the clock for security monitoring. After several years with the same IT provider, they were looking for a new partner who could offer a more future-proof and efficient operational solution with scalability, flexibility, and high security for both office work and remote work.

Challenge
Security companies require stable operations around the clock for surveillance activities
Låsteam was founded in 2000 with the ambition to offer businesses and individuals integrated security solutions and is today a full-scale security company providing complete and customised security systems to clients in most industries across Sweden. Their operations require stable and secure IT operations as they manage both in-store sales and monitor security solutions for customers, with staff on standby around the clock.
After using the same IT provider for several years, Låsteam was looking for a new IT partner that could offer a more future-proof and efficient operational solution. The solution needed to support both office work and remote work, provide high security and redundancy, and be easy to scale up when necessary.
Solution
Hybrid solution with Azure and powerful DDoS protection
Nordlo suggested a migration of Låsteam's operations from a traditional data centre to a cloud-based Azure solution from Microsoft. This hybrid solution, which combines a physical data centre with cloud services in Azure, provided Låsteam with several technological advantages where VPN tunnels ensured that all offices and stores as well as employees working from home had secure and stable access to the IT environment.
Nordlo also delivers powerful DDoS protection and redundancy in a Microsoft environment with several different data centres and backups – a level of security that few other providers can match. In addition to the migration project, Nordlo also provides comprehensive IT support and is responsible for the delivery and backup of their Microsoft 365 environments, including OneDrive and email clients, firewalls, and internet delivery.
“Nordlo has an office right across the street from us in Borås, while they are also a corporation with a presence throughout Sweden and both expertise and resources in all areas. That combination of closeness and expertise is valuable to us,” says Anders Davidsson, IT Manager at Låsteam.
We needed a new partner who could take our IT environment to the next level, and Nordlo meets all our needs.
Results
Stable, future-proof infrastructure with proactive partnership
Thanks to this upgrade and modernisation, Låsteam now has a stable and future-proof IT infrastructure where operations can continue without interruption, which is crucial for their customers and the security services they provide. The company now has a secure and reliable IT environment with robust backup and protection where the new solution has reduced the risk of future incidents and given Låsteam better opportunities to adapt to future technological developments and demands.
"We needed a new partner who could take our IT environment to the next level, and Nordlo meets all our needs. Their hybrid solution makes the infrastructure scalable in a completely different way while our IT environment becomes both simpler and safer for employees," says Anders Davidsson.
"We are not just a provider but also a proactive partner who constantly looks ahead and evaluates how the customer's IT environment can be further developed to streamline core operations. We will have regular meetings both to plan for the future and to evaluate the environment as well as to receive ongoing feedback from Låsteam," says Johan Nolén, Key Account Manager at Nordlo in Borås.
