The Challenge: IT estate not keeping up with rapid growth.

With a US‑based internal IT team and multiple global sites, Mocap needed a UK provider who could handle day‑to‑day stability while working seamlessly with overseas colleagues.

MOCAP is a global plastics manufacturing business with sites across the US, Mexico, China, Poland, and the UK. While the UK operation had grown significantly through acquisitions and expansion into Sheffield, its IT estate hadn’t kept pace.

The previous UK IT provider offered basic support but lacked the depth, responsiveness, and strategic expertise the growing organisation required. Network instability, recurring technical issues, and long-standing configuration problems were limiting productivity, particularly in the newer Sheffield location.

When COVID-19 hit, the gaps became even more apparent. The incumbent provider attempted to charge for remote-working solutions that should have been freely available, leaving MOCAP without the support they urgently needed at a critical time.

With global operations to coordinate and a US-based internal IT team to integrate with, MOCAP needed a UK partner that could:

Stabilise and modernise their infrastructure
Work collaboratively with overseas teams
Provide reliable on-the-ground engineering support
Offer the flexibility of a co-managed service model
Respond rapidly, even without a contract in place

This combination simply wasn’t being met, until MOCAP connected with One2Call.

The Solution: Fixing the root problems and stabilising the estate

One2Call assessed MOCAP’s UK systems, uncovered long‑standing issues, then delivered a structured plan to modernise the network, align with US IT, and provide responsive on‑the‑ground support.

One2Call were already supporting a company MOCAP had acquired, giving them visibility of the challenges Mocap was facing. When they were finally brought in, they began with a full, transparent assessment of the UK network and systems. This uncovered numerous configuration issues, legacy problems, and bottlenecks that had been slowing down operations for years.

One2Call implemented a structured improvement plan, including:

1. A Complete Network Cleanup & Modernisation

Identifying and resolving historical problems
Rebuilding elements of the infrastructure to deliver stability
Increasing site independence and improving internal connectivity

2. Seamless Collaboration with MOCAP’s US IT Department

One2Call worked closely with MOCAP’s American IT team to ensure:

UK systems aligned with global governance
Required changes could be implemented quickly
Both sides operated with clear communication and mutual trust

3. Responsive On-Site Engineering

From day-to-day troubleshooting to major operational changes, One2Call provided:

Immediate on-site support in Sheffield when needed
24/7 availability to match Mocap’s shift-based manufacturing
Engineers willing to work through the night — quite literally — to keep the business running

(Including an instance where a One2Call technician worked overnight during a critical server room move.)

4. Crisis Support During COVID-19

Before MOCAP even signed a contract, One2Call:

Helped the business transition to remote working
Provided free guidance on the software required
Assisted with configuration without charging, despite being under no obligation

This set the tone for the relationship and demonstrated One2Call’s commitment to doing what’s right for the customer.

5. Ongoing Managed IT Support & Consultancy

Mocap now relies on One2Call for:

Co-Managed IT support
Network and infrastructure consultancy
Project support for expansion and upgrades
Immediate escalation on critical systems such as Handy Backup
Advice and planning for upcoming changes, including a new telephone system

The Results: A more stable, unified and future-ready IT setup.

MOCAP now enjoys strong network performance, true co‑managed IT across the UK and US, rapid on‑site support, and a long‑term partnership that continues to support global growth.

After the improvements were rolled out, MOCAP’s UK operation saw a clear shift in how reliably and efficiently they could work. The network became stable, support became faster and more predictable, and the UK and US teams began operating as a single, coordinated unit. What started as a tactical fix quickly grew into a long‑term partnership that underpins MOCAP ’s global IT strategy.

3. Responsive Support Exactly When It’s Needed
