Celebrating 17 years supporting IT for Eaton Publications
Eaton Publications, part of the DIVER Group of companies, which covers a wide spectrum of activities including consumer and B2B publishing, exhibition and websites related to scuba diving and the underwater industry, has now been a valued customer of Viewdata for the past 17 years.
Viewdata’s initial contact with Eaton, in June 2001, was to provide basic IT support and Apple hardware to assist with their historical use of Mac devices.
As a publishing company Macs were the device of choice, being recognised for their reliability and power and providing optimum tools to create the most innovative and creative magazines
"Over the years Viewdata has provided invaluable advice and expertise allowing the business to perform within budget. Viewdata has sourced, installed and maintained hardware and software to achieve the required results.”
George Lanham, Production Manager

Scalable support for an evolving business
As the business grew, so did Eaton’s IT infrastructure and fleet of devices, including servers for print production, accounts and email. Having reliable support for all their IT challenges and technical issues was business-critical.
Flexible support contracts
Viewdata and Eaton’s partnership has continually developed over the years, tailoring flexible support contracts to suit business requirements, and providing scalable solutions to effectively manage their IT estate.
Secure IT relocation
Viewdata assisted when Eaton moved premises by re-installing their IT into the new offices, ensuring the business was fully operational and productive, eliminating unnecessary downtime and lost revenue.
Following 17 years as a customer, Eaton Publications today still depends on Viewdata’s capabilities to provide unrivalled 3rd and 4th line IT support for both Macs and PCs.
Viewdata also delivers maintenance of IT hardware, advanced IT solutions and the supply and installation of IT hardware and networking to Eaton Publications.
