Graham’s Streamlines Farm Operations
Graham’s the Family Dairy uses Intel vPro® platform features to maximize efficiency of global production and distribution.
Summary
Setup in 1939 by Robert Graham in Bridge of Allen, Stirlingshire, Scotland’s largest independent dairy farm—Graham’s the Family Dairy—remains family owned and operated after three generations. The country’s largest independent dairy farm is known for its award-winning range of dairy products with customers both locally and globally. Ranked #2 as the “Most Chosen Scottish Brand” by a 2022 consumer report (Scottish Brand Footprint 2022 (c) (turtl.co), Graham’s is a household name in Scotland, distributed in supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, and door-step delivery. Their IT department consists of two people who support the technology infrastructure of 200 employees, over 85 partner farms, and a global distribution network. With continued growth and limited IT resources, Graham’s recognized an opportunity to transform their technology infrastructure to continue to grow, while meeting the demands of hybrid and remote working. Having already standardized its workforce on PCs powered by the Intel vPro® platform, Graham’s was in a strong position to respond to change by activating the technology’s hardware-based remote manageability tools: Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) and Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA). The efficiency of these manageability features frees up the IT duo to deliver strategic initiatives while keeping up with employee PC needs. By enabling them to respond to technical issues remotely in real-time, employees can experience reduced downtime allowing the business to keep up with market demands as the brand continues to grow.
Today’s global dairy operations face greater challenges than ever. In an interconnected world, supply chains, food safety, and timely delivery depend on real-time coordination of many complex factors. Dairy businesses depend on connected PC infrastructure to control everything from the flow of milk and the printing of shipping labels to the data being sent to handheld devices used by delivery people. Graham’s the Family Dairy partner farms and customers extend across Scotland and beyond, including a global distribution network reaching as far as Hong Kong and Singapore. But with an IT team of just two people, the practical pressures of providing employee tech support to ensure smooth network operations were becoming unsustainable. Especially when all troubleshooting efforts needed to be conducted manually. Daniel Baird, Group Head of IT at Graham’s, says that PCs play an essential role in nearly all production and distribution aspects of the business. To avoid production impact due to device downtime, providing on-demand, in-person end point management support at its various production facilities has been a critical, and taxing, part of their job. He recalls routinely traveling long distances cross-country, sometimes spending up to eight hours on the road, to help facilities address IT issues. Baird identified the need for a remote management solution that would be cost effective, easy to manage, and sustainable into the future. Essential to the solution was the ability to manage all devices from a central point, enhance network and system security features, monitor consistency across the PC fleet, as well as handle onboarding and update maintenance. As hybrid and remote work became more widespread in recent years, Baird became aware of the enormous device manageability potential of the Intel vPro platform-based devices he had already been buying for Graham’s for the exceptional performance and stability. Activating those features is all it took to unlock the flexibility of modern endpoint management for the IT team at Graham’s the Family Dairy. This created an opportunity for the Intel vPro platform to help a traditional family business achieve increased efficiency while freeing their IT department to pursue technology infrastructure enhancements.
Challenge: Growing Business with Limited IT Resources

RESULTS
CONCLUSION
Due to a decision to standardize workforce PCs on the Intel vPro platform, Graham’s technology infrastructure already featured a mix of Intel vPro platform-powered laptops and desktops. When the need for remote device control became clear, Graham’s decided to make full use of the Intel vPro platform’s hardware-based remote manageability tools: Intel AMT and Intel EMA. The IT team set about realizing the remote manageability potential of the Intel vPro platform-based devices already in use within the dairy’s PC network. Intel AMT is a hardware-based tool that offers persistent out-of-band connectivity operating independently of the OS, allowing fixes to a wider range of system issues, even when the OS is down. Baird learned that Intel vPro platform is one of the only tools with this capability at the hardware level, because its core chipset is designed to remain accessible independent of the software running the PC. Intel EMA software gives IT the added mobile flexibility to manage Intel AMT-activated devices remotely and securely beyond the firewall from the cloud. Remote management tools can be critical for business continuity for companies like Graham’s where there are device accessibility barriers due to dispersed endpoints and limited troubleshooting resources. Graham's the Family Dairy factory The IT team integrated these technologies with their existing systems to provide a critical boost to remote management capabilities, allowing them to access PC endpoints located at production factories hours away from the IT office. It became possible to patch in from anywhere and handle issues remotely at any time of day. Together, Intel AMT and Intel EMA opened up a world of remote management possibilities for Graham’s.
Solution: Activating Intel vPro® Platform Manageability Features to Transform Operations
Activating Intel AMT and Intel EMA as part of the Intel vPro platform helped Graham’s to increase workflow productivity and reduce costs. By enabling the IT team to respond to technical issues remotely in real-time, employees experienced reduced downtime and could focus their efforts on the business of meeting demand in a challenging global environment. Fewer IT team visits to farms and customers translated to significant cost savings, and more streamlined system troubleshooting and repairs. For example, when a PC that controls the flow of milk through a depot went down (which would usually be impossible to fix remotely), Intel AMT and Intel EMA made it possible for engineers to access the device even when it was powered off and resolve the issue. This reduced costly manufacturing and distribution delays and any potential loss of sales. It also saved the IT team a four-hour drive. Improved remote manageability features freed up the IT team to develop a range of strategic initiatives they couldn’t get to before. “Rather than spending all of our time troubleshooting, we can now be proactive in adding value to the business by focusing on process improvement initiatives and end-user training,” Baird says. This includes projects like developing Robotic Process Automation to make order entry and similar record-keeping tasks less manual and more efficient.
Results: Dairy Farming with Around-the-Clock Remote IT Support
For Graham’s, the Intel vPro platform was a historic investment whose additional functionality came into its own at a time of change, helping to enable the business to continue thriving. Transforming the remote manageability infrastructure made it possible for an IT team of just two people to support Graham’s global operation. High performance, stability, and longevity were essential to the effectiveness of the IT team’s transformation plans—all delivered successfully via the Intel vPro platform. For Graham’s, the most important thing was that its machines performed predictably and reliably. Activating existing Intel vPro features enabled a new era of modern endpoint management for the IT team at Graham’s and helped the whole business adapt to remote and hybrid working.
Conclusion: A New Era of Endpoint Management
The greater ROI of devices on Intel vPro means SAI’s constrained budget can go toward fulfilling the organization’s mission rather than replacing or repairing PCs. “The extra stability of the Intel vPro platform, plus the security of it, helps both the staff and the clients they assist,” Roberts says. “These devices stand the test of time.” St. Anne Institute: Nonprofit health and human services agency providing therapeutic, residential, educational, and preventative services to children, adolescents, and families. Number of employees: 270 Gross revenue: $14.9 million per year [2022] Location: Based in Albany, New York, with satellite offices in Troy, Hudson Falls, Gloversville, and Schoharie, New York. Programs include:
Conclusion: Greater ROI Stretches Non-Profit Dollars Farther
SAI must comply with a complex web of regulations, including HIPAA, SOX, FERPA, HITECH, PCI, and New York SHIELD.1 Having staff scattered across multiple offices, working from home, or working remotely at client locations adds another layer of complication to data security. Intel vPro’s built-in security features help keep SAI’s PCs and data secure with hardware-enhanced protections to help detect and defend against multiple types of cyberattacks, providing peace of mind for the IT team as well as the people using the devices. End users, from staff to C-suite, enjoy enhanced performance and productivity with Intel vPro, allowing them to serve clients better than with non-Intel vPro devices. SAI has found that devices powered by Intel vPro last significantly longer than those with standard processors. For example, Roberts says the PC in the residential art room, a Dell with Intel vPro that’s at least eight years old, is still going strong, despite running more demanding programs than most of SAI’s PCs. SAI’s mobile devices must be able to withstand rugged conditions, and devices on Intel vPro deliver on that count as well. Tablets and laptops may get dropped or left in cars in temperatures that can range from -50°F in the winter to more than 100°F in the summer. “Even when subjected to harsher environmental situations in the field,” Roberts says, “systems on Intel vPro last significantly longer.” Going forward, SAI plans to phase out its older hardware in favor of systems on Intel vPro. Roberts says they also intend to add Intel vPro management/access using Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA) through either on-premises or Azure-based central management and access to remote devices. With Intel EMA’s cloud-based functionality, SAI’s team will be able to remotely power up and access devices on Intel vPro Enterprise both inside and outside the firewall. IT staff will be able to diagnose, repair, patch, or update devices without disrupting employees’ work or requiring them to come into the office. Since SAI employees often work with clients in their homes or classrooms, this capability is critical to maintaining their PCs’ performance and security.
Results: Intel vPro Delivers “More Bang for the Buck”
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, SAI quickly adapted to continue carrying out its mission. The staff began working remotely, offering clients telehealth appointments, and holding meetings using Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The IT department had already begun purchasing tablets, but as the pandemic continued, “we bought more tablets so people could work from home and see clients remotely,” O’Neill says. Tablets also offer cost savings, enabling SAI to maximize its IT budget. SAI’s IT team didn’t initially seek out PCs enabled with Intel vPro; instead, they simply focused on finding the most cost-effective devices. “Most people here don’t run heavy-duty apps, so in the past, we didn’t look too much at the processor,” explains O’Neill. “If we happened to get PCs with Intel vPro, it was a bonus.” But SAI quickly discovered that Intel vPro delivered better performance, stability, manageability, and security than their other PCs, ultimately resulting in greater ROI. Today, SAI’s devices are a mix of desktops, laptops, and tablets, both Intel vPro and non-Intel vPro. The newer devices are primarily tablets, most of which are on the Intel vPro platform. These have been a particular boon for staff at SAI’s four satellite offices, since most of their work involves visiting clients in public schools. Although most in-office staff still have desktop PCs, SAI is expanding into a greater use of laptops or tablets with docking stations, which staff can use both in and out of the office. “[After seeing] noticeable overall performance and productivity boosts with the tablets from staff to C-suite level,” says Roberts, “we’ve started swapping out desktops and replacing them with tablets and docking stations powered by Intel vPro.” “Sticking with a consistently higher-grade platform like Intel vPro, which can stand the test of time more than non-Intel vPro platforms, means you get more ‘bang for the buck.’ The extra initial cost means better ROI with assets that last longer, perform better, and are more secure, benefiting both staff and clients.”—Tim Roberts, St. Anne Institute, Assistant IT Director
“Technology has become essential for nearly all SAI staff to perform their duties,” says IT Director Tim O’Neill. As a nonprofit, however, SAI relies on a combination of federal, state, and private funding, which can ebb and flow. As a result, SAI doesn’t have the luxury of updating its entire PC fleet at once. Instead, the organization’s IT staff purchases what it can, when it can, as its budget allows. SAI’s technology decision-making is typically need- and budget-driven, but recently the organization has become more proactive about security, O’Neill says. The IT staff is transitioning client electronic health records (EHRs) to the cloud; however, sensitive client information is still stored locally. Adding to the complexity of IT security, SAI must be compliant with not just one, but at least five compliance standards. That makes security a priority. As Assistant IT Director Tim Roberts explains, “[Our PCs] need to be able to stand up to actual malicious attacks, as well as checks like audits or penetration testing.”
Challenge: Making the Most of a Limited Budget
St. Anne Institute Upgrades to Serve Community
St. Anne Institute is a nonprofit organization that relies on PCs and other devices to serve children, youth, and families at risk or in crisis. When choosing new devices, budget and need drove IT’s purchasing decisions. After discovering the stability, performance, and security benefits of devices powered by Intel vPro®, the IT team now plans to replace all PCs, laptops, and tablets with Intel vPro-enabled devices going forward. A small nonprofit organization with big goals has numerous challenges, including deciding how to use its limited funding strategically. Staying on budget and making every dollar count is much easier when you harness the power of technology. The right technology can help nonprofits become more productive and more efficient so they can better serve their clients while still reining in spending. St. Anne Institute (SAI) was founded by four nuns of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in 1887 to help troubled and homeless women. Today, the nonprofit organization serves more than 800 children and families annually from 40 counties throughout the state of New York. SAI’s staff includes social workers, therapists, counselors, healthcare professionals, administrators, and teachers. They work on-site at SAI’s five locations as well as in the field, visiting clients in their homes and schools and performing outreach to street youth. “St. Anne Institute has helped tens of thousands of individuals in mental health crisis over the decades,” says Chief Development Officer Sandra Tarkleson. While SAI’s mission of loving, caring, and protecting its clients has remained the same, the organization’s programs have evolved to meet clients’ increasingly complex needs. Its technology has evolved too.
St. Anne Institute leverages Intel vPro®, an Intel® Evo™ design, for greater security, stability, and performance.
