When GP Garden Services first engaged CJAZ Consulting, they had a minimal IT setup—just three PCs and a small server. As the company expanded, CJAZ played a crucial role in modernising their IT systems. Today, GP Garden Services operates with a small office server, 10 PCs, and a cloud-based approach that is gradually replacing on-premises infrastructure.
