ramsac will be setting up a secure connection for the organisers to connect to their office via a Citrix enabled network. The consultancy will also be ensuring that three out of the four live music stages have wireless access backstage for production teams to access information from their dressing rooms.

Technical Consultant at ramsac, Paul Mew, comments, “We have a dedicated support team on hand throughout the weekend to ensure that all technical problems are rectified as soon as possible. Some of the supporting acts only have limited time in their dressing rooms, so it is essential that they are able to access the Internet and their emails instantly.”

Bob Angus from the V Festival adds, “ramsac has provided excellent backstage IT support for the past two years and we are very happy that they have decided to accept the challenge for the third year running.”
