RBS commissioned Sharkey to refit their business critical main data centre and supporting office space on Fettes Row, Edinburgh. The data centre had been in operation for 28 years so the electrical and mechanical aspects of the building had to be updated but, vitally, these comprehensive improvements had to be implemented without any inconvenience to the staff working on campus, and without any interruption to the bank systems and data in use 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

TESTIMONIAL

"This project was like performing open-heart surgery while the patient is running a marathon. The project involved installation of all-new systems then a gradual switch-off of the old systems. All done without the end user noticing a thing."
