The engineering firm, known for such signature projects as the Athens Olympic Stadium, last year experienced 30 percent growth and increased international offices to 60.

Each office requires IT infrastructure and set-up to maintain its 5,500 employees across the globe.

To overcome the challenge of globalization, SKM reviewed how it managed its investment in software assets to meet further diversification.

As part of that review, SKM implemented the ManageSoft software solution to enable the firm to set up IT operations remotely.

"The time it takes to implement a new office is now greatly reduced because it can be done remotely; this allows our IT team to concentrate on internal IT support," according to SKM information systems group manager, Peter Nevin.
