- Credit & Lending Operations for a Major Banking Merger | Interval
< Back Credit & Lending Operations for a Major Banking Merger Interval supported a high-profile US bank merger valued at $190m by leading the credit and lending integration - ensuring compliance, consistency and control across risk modelling, governance and underwriting. The result: a seamless integration delivered under tight timelines and complex regulation. Situation As part of a major merger between two large US banks, a global advisory firm was engaged to oversee the integration of credit and lending operations. Given the regulatory complexity and critical nature of these functions, the integration required deep subject matter expertise across: End-to-end credit and lending processes Underwriting, credit risk management, modelling and validation Regulatory compliance with IFRS 9 and CECL Governance frameworks and SOX reporting Integration strategy and risk control environments To meet the demands of the engagement - valued at $1.6m - the advisory firm required an experienced, independent consultant to lead the credit and lending integration and provide strategic recommendations throughout. Approach Interval was engaged to provide a CFA-qualified subject matter expert with a background in mathematics, accounting, and deal advisory. The consultant was tasked with leading the integration across three interconnected workstreams: Credit risk policies, procedures and underwriting standards Credit risk modelling and validation, including allowance reporting under IFRS 9 and CECL Governance framework integration, up to Chief Risk Officer (CRO) level The engagement also involved identifying adjacent areas for improvement, such as stress testing frameworks, capital adequacy calculations, reporting enhancements, and control environment optimisation. The SME quickly integrated into the advisory team, led a team of seven consultants, and worked with stakeholders across both organisations to ensure alignment, compliance, and knowledge retention throughout the merger process. Outcomes The credit and lending integration was delivered on time and to scope within six months, enabling the $190m bank merger to proceed smoothly. Key deliverables and outcomes included: A unified underwriting process and aligned credit risk policies for commercial and consumer lending A new credit loss modelling solution to support allowance reporting and regulatory compliance A refreshed governance structure providing leadership continuity and reduced redundancy The SME also identified and scoped a follow-on phase focused on creating a robust, integrated control environment through data cleansing and standardisation, and designing a model risk monitoring framework for long-term assurance.

- PostgreSQL App Modernisation for a Government Agency | Interval
< Back PostgreSQL App Modernisation for a Government Agency A German state authority modernising from legacy systems to Java and PostgreSQL needed internal upskilling. We provided a PostgreSQL expert who delivered tailored training and hands-on migration support - boosting team confidence, ensuring system stability, and accelerating their digital transformation. Situation A state authority responsible for managing salaries, pensions, and benefits for approximately 455,000 public sector employees, retirees, and beneficiaries, needed IT support. Annually, the authority processes around 2 million benefit applications, disbursing approximately €1.98 billion in reimbursements. To modernise its core applications, the authority initiated a project to migrate from legacy systems like Natural/Adabas and COBOL to a modern architecture based on Java and PostgreSQL. A critical component of this transition was equipping the internal database administration team with the necessary skills to manage and operate the new PostgreSQL environment effectively. Approach Interval was engaged to support the resourcing of this project with an experienced PostgreSQL specialist, who would take on the role of delivering training to the client’s technical teams and supporting the system migration. Our expert PostgreSQL consultant designed and delivered comprehensive training sessions tailored for the authority's database administrators and Adabas/Natural developers. The training encompassed foundational knowledge and practical application of PostgreSQL within the context of the authority 's target architecture. Additionally, our expert provided hands-on support during the migration process, assisting teams in navigating the technical challenges associated with transitioning from mainframe systems to a Linux and PostgreSQL environment. Outcomes The training sessions significantly enhanced the client team's proficiency in PostgreSQL and Linux, providing them with both the theoretical understanding and practical experience needed to operate confidently in the new system landscape. Over the course of the programme, the client’s database administrators developed the capability to manage, maintain and optimise their PostgreSQL environments independently. By focusing on real-world application scenarios and aligning closely with the authority's new target architecture, the training not only accelerated the team’s learning curve but also ensured that best practices for database administration and system performance were embedded from the outset. This proactive approach helped mitigate common risks associated with major system migrations, such as data loss, system downtime and operational bottlenecks. As a result, the authority was able to proceed with its application modernisation project more efficiently and with greater assurance of long-term system stability. Previous Next
- Industrial Market Entry Strategy for a Consultancy | Interval
< Back Industrial Market Entry Strategy for a Consultancy A consultancy engaged Interval to support one of their Japan-based private investor clients exploring entry into a specialised segment of the industrial machinery market. The investor required detailed market insights and a clear view of several potential acquisition targets’ strategic positions within a highly technical and fragmented sector. The project demanded multilingual research, precise analysis and discreet stakeholder engagement. Situation A private investor based in Japan was evaluating an acquisition-led entry into a niche segment of the industrial machinery sector. With limited internal expertise in this specific domain, the investor sought trusted, independent insight into both the market landscape and the commercial viability of several potential acquisition targets. Their consulting partner engaged Interval to resource the research effort, drawing on our ability to deliver sector-specific intelligence and navigate cross-border complexities. Approach Interval deployed a senior consultant with industrial B2B expertise and multilingual capability to lead two coordinated workstreams: (A) Market Research Conducted in-depth desk research and interviews with industry experts across multiple regions Assessed key market trends, growth drivers and customer expectations Mapped the competitive landscape and benchmarked leading players Estimated the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and identified key buying factors (KBFs) relevant to the segment (B) Acquisition Target Assessments Facilitated structured data requests and Q&A processes with multiple prospective acquisition targets Conducted interviews and working sessions with key stakeholders at each company Evaluated product-market fit, commercial positioning and strategic differentiation for each target Outcome Interval delivered a comprehensive, investor-ready assessment of the market and the relative positioning of multiple potential acquisition targets. The insights provided critical input into the client’s investment decision-making process. By combining sector knowledge, multilingual communication and timely execution, we enabled a Japan-based investor to evaluate a complex cross-border opportunity with confidence. Previous Next
- Global SAP Transformation Through SD Expertise | Interval
< Back Global SAP Transformation Through SD Expertise As part of a major ERP transformation, Interval supported a global automotive manufacturer in moving from SAP Business Suite 7 to SAP S/4HANA - delivering key expertise in Sales and Distribution to shape processes and enable long-term success. Situation A multinational vehicle manufacturer is undertaking a large-scale transformation of its enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in response to SAP’s announcement to end maintenance of Business Suite 7 core applications by 2027. To reduce risk and future-proof its operations, the business launched an SAP programme to implement SAP S/4HANA across more than 20 global regions. Poland was selected as the first rollout country, with around 100 office-based users and several thousand factory employees relying on SAP systems. Interval was brought in to provide dedicated consulting expertise in the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module - a critical element of the transformation. Approach Interval’s consultants were embedded directly within the client team to deliver key aspects of the programme, including: Analysing existing business and SAP workflows Identifying gaps and improvement opportunities Designing new templates and processes aligned to SAP S/4HANA best practices Transitioning from SAP GUI to Fiori Standardising custom reports and creating system demo recordings and manuals to support training The work combined data-driven SAP analysis with local business knowledge and subject matter expertise. Outputs were documented in detail and presented to the steering committee for review and approval. Throughout the project, Interval’s team supported change management, knowledge transfer, and user training - ensuring the local team in Poland was engaged and supported every step of the way. Outcomes The SAP SD workstream was successfully delivered, establishing a strong foundation for user acceptance testing (UAT) and go-live in the second half of 2024. Key outcomes included: Fully mapped and updated SD processes aligned to SAP S/4HANA Transition plan from GUI to Fiori interfaces Reusable SD templates and documentation for future rollouts Standardised and modernised reporting tools Strong platform for change management and end-user training The broader programme is ongoing and will roll out to over 20 global regions. With SAP S/4HANA officially supported until 2040, the transformation will provide the business with long-term benefits in automation, performance, security and mobile usability. Previous Next
- Mobile Device Management for a Global Construction Manufacturer | Interval
< Back Mobile Device Management for a Global Construction Manufacturer Our client launched a major IT transformation programme, including the modernisation of mobile device management (MDM) systems. The company needed to migrate from its legacy MobileIron solution to Microsoft Intune to align with its broader digital workplace strategy and improve mobile security and control. Approach Working alongside a system integrator, we provided a Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Intune SME to support the client through the design and implementation phases of the migration. Key responsibilities included scoping and defining requirements, designing the new Intune-based environment, creating a controlled app store, producing technical documentation at each stage, and ensuring the solution integrated seamlessly with third-party vendors and the client’s internal IT operations. The SME contributed to architecture artefacts, including technical design documentation, and supported technology evaluation to ensure all solutions aligned with the client's global IT and business strategies. Interval also leveraged its Microsoft Partner status to access privileged manufacturer support, providing additional support during the transition at no extra cost to the client. Outcomes The client successfully transitioned from MobileIron to Microsoft Intune, delivering a unified and secure platform for managing mobile devices across the organisation. The new solution significantly improved visibility and control over mobile assets, strengthened data protection measures, and enabled more consistent policy enforcement. By implementing a centrally managed app store and automating key processes, the client was able to reduce administrative overhead and enhance the end-user experience. The migration also laid the foundations for a more agile, cloud-first IT environment, supporting the client’s broader goals for innovation, scalability, and operational efficiency across its international operations.

- ServiceNow ITSM and GRC Expertise for the Insurance Industry | Interval
< Back ServiceNow ITSM and GRC Expertise for the Insurance Industry A major German insurer needed expert support to enhance and scale its ServiceNow platform as part of a broader IT transformation. We delivered a specialist team that improved governance, compliance, and scalability, resulting in measurable platform maturity and strategic IT alignment. Situation A leading German insurance company embarked on a wide-reaching IT transformation programme aimed at modernising its IT service management capabilities and strengthening its digital infrastructure. A key pillar of this transformation was the strategic development and optimisation of their ServiceNow platform to better support operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and business alignment. The client recognised the need for specialised expertise across multiple domains within ServiceNow to ensure the platform could not only meet current requirements but also scale to future demands. To achieve this, they sought external experts who could enhance platform governance, optimise the service catalogue and portfolio, and embed compliance and risk management into the platform's architecture and processes. Our role was to deliver a team that could provide deep technical leadership, strong governance frameworks and stakeholder collaboration to ensure a sustainable and value-driven ServiceNow environment. Approach We deployed a dedicated team of ServiceNow experts: A Platform Solution Architect was responsible for the holistic technical deployment and leadership of the ServiceNow platform, ensuring stability, scalability and the alignment of ITSM processes with business objectives. A Service Catalogue and Portfolio Architect was focused on the development, structuring and continual improvement of a high-quality service catalogue. A Compliance and Governance Solution Architect was responsible for integrating Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) requirements into the platform, optimising the Common Service Data Model (CSDM), managing the CMDB/ITOM modules and ensuring regulatory standards were met across the ServiceNow environment. Our team worked collaboratively with key stakeholders, applying agile methodologies, delivering both strategic advisory and hands-on expertise to enhance platform maturity, service quality and regulatory compliance. Outcomes Our team played a key role in strengthening the client's ServiceNow capabilities. With over 1,800 end users, the client required a stable, scalable and fully compliant ServiceNow platform to support both internal IT operations and broader digitalisation initiatives. This involved the introduction and standardisation of ITSM processes, the transfer of hardware and software asset management from Excel to ServiceNow, and the implementation of a CMDB (Discovery & Service Mapping) in a regulated environment, taking VAIT/DORA into account. Of particular interest here was the implementation and development of the information network in interaction between GRC and the CMDB. By the end of the engagement, the client had established a more resilient and transparent ITSM platform, capable of scaling with business demands and meeting the high regulatory standards expected in Germany’s insurance sector. Technical audits conducted by the client's consultancy partner showed measurable improvements. Our work laid a strong foundation for future ServiceNow developments and broader IT strategy evolution.

- Public Sector Finance Management for a National Government | Interval
< Back Public Sector Finance Management for a National Government Interval strengthened financial governance, operational transparency and scalability for a rapidly expanding government programme portfolio. By establishing a dedicated finance management function and introducing improved controls and reporting standards, we helped the department transition from reactive processes to a stable, scalable and future-ready operating model. Background A national government department was experiencing significant growth across its international project delivery portfolio. As programmes expanded, existing finance tools and processes could no longer support the increasing volume of activity.The department required stronger governance, clearer reporting, improved cross-department coordination and a scalable financial framework capable of supporting automation and long-term expansion. The Challenge The department faced several operational and structural constraints: Legacy finance processes unable to support rapid portfolio growth Lack of dedicated financial governance for an expanding international delivery function Inconsistent budgeting, procurement and payroll workflows Limited transparency and reporting across departments, especially where spend was recharged The need to introduce scalable systems and practices aligned to government standards Our Solution Interval established a dedicated Finance Management function tailored to the department’s needs. A highly qualified Finance Manager (ACCA, MSc Professional Accountancy) was deployed to work closely with PMO, procurement and senior departmental stakeholders. Operational Finance Services Budget and forecast management Payroll and contractor payment coordination Invoice processing and purchase-to-pay support IT finance support across related portfolios Governance and Target Operating Model Designed an improved operating model for financial governance and controls Strengthened reporting standards and monitoring processes Established consistent procedures across departments to support inter-departmental funding and recharging Implemented best practices to align financial strategy with the department’s long-term objectives Results Over 150 invoices processed monthly, supporting an annual spend of $10M Consistent operational delivery restored confidence among programme teams Robust governance introduced through a new target operating model, improving transparency and accountability Supported inter-departmental charging for 40% of total spend, ensuring accurate cost allocation Finance function expanded to support additional portfolios, including an IT cyber portfolio valued at over $2M Portfolio experienced 9% annual growth, supported by scalable financial processes Client Testimonial “Interval brought structure, clarity and professionalism to a fast-growing and complex portfolio.

- Executive Recruitment for a Technology Consulting firm | Interval
< Back Executive Recruitment for a Technology Consulting firm A global professional services firm retained us to identify and secure a Senior Partner to lead a core capability area within its Technology Consulting practice in Ireland. This was a highly strategic hire, requiring not only technical excellence and commercial acumen but also the credibility to operate at C-suite level and shape a long-term market proposition. Approach Given the seniority of the role and the limited talent pool at this level, the search required a discreet, precise and research-led approach. Many of the most suitable individuals were already in senior roles at competitor firms, and any outreach had to be handled with sensitivity and professionalism. We worked closely with the firm's leadership to define the role and clarify the profile of the ideal candidate. Our team conducted in-depth market mapping across Ireland and the UK, targeting both Tier 1 consulting firms and specialist boutiques. We engaged with a carefully selected group of candidates through confidential outreach, ensuring the client’s brand and intentions were protected throughout the process. Every shortlisted candidate was rigorously assessed across multiple dimensions – including sector expertise, leadership track record, cultural alignment and growth potential. The process also included advisory support on offer structuring and managing partner-level transitions. Outcome Within six weeks, we delivered a shortlist of three highly qualified and motivated candidates – all sourced through direct headhunting. Our client successfully appointed their preferred candidate: a proven leader with a strong track record of delivering strategic transformation in complex environments. The appointment has since played a pivotal role in expanding the firm’s consulting capability and accelerating its growth in a priority area. This project highlights our strength in executive search – combining discretion, deep market knowledge and precision delivery. Previous Next
- Email Migration to Microsoft 365 in the Construction Industry | Interval
< Back Email Migration to Microsoft 365 in the Construction Industry A global building materials manufacturer partnered with Interval to streamline and modernise its complex email estate, moving to Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online. This formed part of a wider IT transformation programme to increase operational efficiency, strengthen security, and enable scalable digital growth. Approach As part of its cloud-first strategy, the client chose to adopt Microsoft 365 as its core enterprise cloud platform - starting with a migration to Exchange Online. Interval was engaged to lead the end-to-end email migration project. An Exchange Online Project Manager and Solution Architect were deployed to work within the infrastructure team, overseeing a team of technical SMEs. The project covered requirements gathering, migration planning, application dependencies, archiving, data retention, end-user devices and clients, change management, execution, and project closure. In parallel, the project team supported a major domain consolidation initiative -technically assessing and planning the migration of all global domains to a unified .com domain. The work was delivered in alignment with the client’s established PMO standards (see success story on Infrastructure PMO). Outcome The project launched successfully with mailbox and application discovery completed in the first month. Legacy dependencies were identified and resolved through a triage approach - retiring, replacing, or remediating systems as needed. A key challenge was defining archiving and data retention policies across regions with varying legal and regulatory requirements. This was addressed using Microsoft native archiving, integrated with Azure AD and the client's HR solution. Mailbox migrations are now underway and tracked using a custom PowerBI dashboard. Once completed, the client will benefit from a fast, secure, and standardised email environment, fully consolidated to a single domain. Previous Next
- Administrative support for a complex transformation in manufacturing | Interval
< Back Administrative support for a complex transformation in manufacturing Providing structured administrative and coordination support to keep a multi-year transformation programme on track. Challenge A large manufacturing organisation was delivering a €40m multi-year transformation programme spanning process redesign, systems implementation and organisational change. Programme leaders were stretched, with governance, reporting and coordination consuming significant delivery capacity. Without dedicated administrative and coordination support, the programme risked delays, inconsistent reporting and reduced stakeholder confidence. Solution Interval embedded a programme administration and coordination team consisting of two senior administrative professionals experienced in large-scale change environments. Responsibilities included governance meeting coordination, action and decision tracking, document control, reporting cadence and stakeholder communications. The team worked alongside programme managers and PMO functions, adapting support as workstreams evolved. Outcome Governance meetings delivered on time with consistent reporting Programme documentation accuracy improved by over 30% Delivery leads freed up an estimated 20% of their time Improved visibility and confidence across senior stakeholders The programme completed key milestones on schedule, with administrative support cited as a critical enabler of delivery discipline and clarity.

- Microsoft Entra ID (Active Directory) Transformation for a Global Manufacturer | Interval
< Back Microsoft Entra ID (Active Directory) Transformation for a Global Manufacturer A leading global manufacturer of building materials sought to enhance its IT infrastructure by ensuring seamless management of its complex hybrid Entra ID / Active Directory (AD) environment. The company’s environment included a multi-forest Active Directory, Azure AD, Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), and AAD Connect, integrated with Microsoft Exchange and Windows Server. As part of a larger IT transformation, the client required an experienced AD administrator/architect to maintain, optimise, and improve its global directory service across multiple regions. Approach We placed a skilled Active Directory Architect to manage, optimise and operate the client's hybrid AD environment. This role involved working closely with internal IT teams, Microsoft, and third-party vendors to ensure smooth operation and implementation of improvements. Our expert was responsible for the oversight of the cloud-based, multi-forest AD, Azure AD, ADFS, and AAD Connect. He developed and fine-tuned PowerShell scripts to enhance the environment’s functionality and resolved complex issues by performing root-cause analysis and identifying data-driven insights. This strategic role ensured that the client’s global infrastructure could continue to scale efficiently while remaining secure and reliable. Outcomes The client achieved a highly optimised hybrid Active Directory environment, enhancing its integration between on-premises and cloud systems. The successful management and fine-tuning of the AD system, including the implementation of automation via PowerShell, significantly reduced manual overhead and improved operational efficiency. With a well-maintained AD infrastructure, the client's IT team was able to more effectively support its complex, multi-domain organisation. The ability to conduct thorough root-cause analysis also led to faster resolution of issues, strengthening system stability. Overall, this solution ensured that the client could continue to grow and adapt in a secure and efficient manner, aligning with its broader IT transformation strategy. Previous Next

- Digital and e-commerce transformation hiring for a global beauty and personal care company | Interval
< Back Digital and e-commerce transformation hiring for a global beauty and personal care company How we helped an industry leading consumer goods manufacturer build digital and e-commerce capability across four European markets in eight months. The challenge As consumer behaviour shifted decisively toward digital channels, a leading global beauty and personal care company identified a significant capability gap between its established trade marketing structure and the talent needed to compete in an increasingly digital-first environment. The business required specialists who could drive performance marketing, manage the digital shelf, develop D2C strategy and extract value from data analytics, not just in one market but across Germany, the UK, France and the Nordics simultaneously. The challenge was compounded by the intensity of competition for this profile of candidate. Digital and e-commerce talent with genuine FMCG or beauty sector experience was scarce, and the window to build these capabilities ahead of key commercial cycles was narrow. A traditional recruitment approach would not be fast enough or targeted enough to meet the brief. The approach Interval worked closely with both HR and commercial leadership to define precise competency profiles for each market, recognising that the requirements in Germany differed meaningfully from those in the UK or the Nordics in terms of platform mix, consumer behaviour and organisational maturity. Critically, we approached the brief not as a series of individual hires but as a capability-building exercise. This meant mapping the talent landscape across beauty, broader FMCG and adjacent digital sectors including performance marketing agencies, e-commerce platforms and digital consultancies, to identify candidates who could bring genuine digital maturity into a business undergoing significant cultural as well as commercial change. Throughout the engagement, Interval provided regular market intelligence on candidate availability, competitor hiring activity and compensation benchmarking, enabling the business to make informed decisions quickly and remain competitive in its offers. The results Across an eight-month engagement, Interval placed 18 digital and e-commerce specialists across four markets. The average time-to-offer was 34 days and the two-year retention rate across all placements was 91%. The hires spanned performance marketing, digital shelf management, D2C strategy and data analytics, collectively accelerating the client's digital transformation agenda at a critical moment in the company's growth trajectory.

- Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration | Interval
< Back Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration Supporting a global manufacturing organisation during the migration of 13,000 users from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, rapidly stabilising the environment, clearing a backlog of 400+ support tickets and ensuring uninterrupted collaboration services. Situation A global industrial manufacturing organisation initiated a major digital workplace transformation programme to migrate approximately 13,000 users from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 . The migration formed part of a broader initiative to standardise collaboration and productivity platforms across the organisation. During the early phases of the programme, the client encountered significant operational challenges within the existing Google Workspace environment. A backlog of more than 400 unresolved support tickets had accumulated, with some cases remaining open for over five months . These issues were affecting users across multiple business units and creating pressure on the internal IT team responsible for supporting day-to-day operations while simultaneously delivering the migration programme. Key technical challenges included maintaining stable mailflow and routing , ensuring uninterrupted access to collaboration tools and shared resources , managing user accounts and device policies , and addressing data migration discrepancies . At the same time, the organisation needed to ensure continued access to business-critical applications and integrations dependent on the Google Workspace environment. Given the scale and complexity of the environment, the client required experienced Google Workspace administration support at L2/L3 level to stabilise operations, reduce the ticket backlog and ensure the migration programme could continue without disrupting business operations. Approach Following the client’s request for support, Interval identified, resourced and onboarded a qualified Google Workspace administrator within 48 hours , enabling the client to rapidly reinforce their internal IT team during a critical phase of the migration programme. Interval’s specialist provided hands-on L2 and L3 administration and support across the Google Workspace ecosystem, including Gmail, Google Drive, Google Groups and shared collaboration resources. A structured ticket triage and case review process was implemented to prioritise and resolve the oldest and most critical support cases first, enabling the backlog to be reduced systematically while maintaining responsiveness to new requests. The engagement included troubleshooting complex technical issues, managing user accounts, permissions and security policies , and resolving operational issues affecting collaboration tools, device access and productivity applications. Direct support was provided to users to resolve login issues, access problems and device management challenges , ensuring minimal disruption to daily work. Interval also worked closely with the client’s Microsoft 365 migration team to monitor mail routing, migration data integrity and platform stability, helping ensure that operational issues in the Google Workspace environment did not impact the migration process. Outcome By the conclusion of the engagement, Interval successfully reduced the support backlog from over 400 open tickets to approximately 60 , exceeding the client’s expectations and restoring operational stability to the environment. Mailflow and routing remained stable throughout the migration , while collaboration tools and shared resources continued to operate reliably for users across the organisation. Issues affecting data migration integrity and user access were identified and resolved, helping to improve the quality and reliability of the migration process. Through rapid mobilisation, proactive support and close collaboration with internal teams, Interval enabled the client to stabilise its existing Google Workspace environment while continuing its large-scale migration to Microsoft 365, resulting in reduced operational risk and a significantly improved user experience during the transition.

- Strengthening Cybersecurity & Network Access Control | Interval
< Back Strengthening Cybersecurity & Network Access Control A global manufacturing company partnered with Interval to enhance its security posture through improved Network Access Control. The project has significantly improved network policy compliance, visibility, and device governance across global operations. Situation Following years of organic growth and acquisitions, the client’s IT estate had become fragmented, with a mix of systems and inconsistent operational models. Despite IT spend exceeding 10% of annual revenue, the organisation’s digital maturity remained below the level required to support its strategic ambitions. Coupled with this, critical vulnerabilities in the IT environment had been identified. Investigations identified weaknesses in End User Computing (EUC), particularly inconsistent compliance with Network Access Control (NAC) policies. In response, the client launched the NAC Project as a key initiative to strengthen its cybersecurity defences and ensure consistent network protection across its global footprint. Approach To lead the NAC improvements, the client identified the need for deep subject matter expertise in Forescout, their chosen NAC platform. Interval was engaged to provide a specialist NAC Consultant to deliver the technical scope of the project. The key objectives were to: Review, update and deploy NAC policies Increase policy compliance across device types Improve overall network protection Provide training and resources to the client's IT teams to ensure the outcomes were sustained Our consultant worked closely with the client's Infrastructure and Security teams to review and address almost all sites globally. Custom workflows were developed for key device categories including Windows, macOS, Servers, IoT, and Storage. After securing agreement from device owners, a successful pilot was run at a single site before workflows were rolled out globally. Compliance monitoring was strengthened through regular reporting, automated alerts, and both user acceptance and penetration testing. Outcomes Phases 1 (pilot) and 2 (global rollout) were delivered on time, with the pilot completed within two months and full deployment within six months. The project enabled the identification and remediation of a large number of non-compliant devices - significantly reducing risk and strengthening the organisation’s cybersecurity posture. Additional value was delivered by integrating third-party systems into Forescout, increasing transparency and improving visibility across the NAC infrastructure. With a more secure EUC estate now in place, the client is in a position to explore BYOD and virtual desktop solutions as secure, cost-effective ways to provide internal access to resources.
