Known for its depth of expertise across multiple disciplines, Bridge McFarland combines professionalism with a client-first approach, earning national and international recognition for its commitment to excellence.
Led by IT Manager Helen Powers, the firm partnered with Advantage Cloud Solutions to enhance its internal IT capabilities to support business continuity and digital transformation projects for growth.
By leveraging a fully managed IT support service – with comprehensive third-line support – Bridge McFarland made the case for high availability, security, and performance across its cloud-hosted infrastructure, endpoints, and network systems.
As Bridge McFarland expanded across multiple sites, its IT environment became increasingly complex. Supporting hybrid cloud systems, diverse endpoints, and a distributed workforce required more than routine troubleshooting. It called for strategic oversight and robust security.

The engagement began with a detailed onboarding process, including a full assessment of BMcF’s IT environment and configuration of monitoring tools via IT Glue. Advantage Cloud established clear escalation pathways and conducted knowledge transfer sessions to ensure seamless collaboration with the internal IT team.
“Here at Bridge McFarland, understanding, expertise and diligence drive our work ethic, and so it was reassuring to see that the Advantage team mirrored this by ensuring they fully understood our environment. This meant the onboarding process was seamless, whilst their natural personality style gives us confidence that the ongoing engagement with the team will be effortless.”
