Manufacturing

Unifying a multi-site factory on Microsoft 365 & Azure

Challenge

A Gauteng-based manufacturer was running ageing on-prem file servers across three plants, with inconsistent backups and slow inter-site collaboration.

Outcomes
  • 99.95% uptime across sites post-migration
  • 42% reduction in monthly infrastructure spend
  • Single sign-on with Entra ID and conditional access
Healthcare

Hardening a private practice group against ransomware

  • Zero successful intrusions in the 12 months following rollout
  • POPIA-aligned access and audit posture
  • Phishing click-through rate down 78% after user training
Hospitality

Always-on connectivity for a boutique hotel group

Challenge

Guest Wi-Fi outages and a fragile single-link WAN were impacting bookings and back-office systems across four properties.

Solution

Outcomes
  • Sub-second link failover between primary and backup fibre
  • Guest satisfaction scores for Wi-Fi up from 3.1 to 4.7 / 5
  • Consolidated voice spend across all four sites by 35%

  • All endpoints centrally patched and monitored 24/7
  • Audit-ready logging for every privileged action
Property & Facilities

Cloud-first IT for a growing property group

Challenge

Rapid acquisition activity meant onboarding new buildings and staff faster than the legacy IT stack could handle.

Outcomes
  • New-site IT setup reduced from 3 weeks to 4 days
  • Predictable per-user OPEX in place of project CAPEX
  • Centralised helpdesk handling 1,200+ tickets a month under SLA
Education

Backup & business continuity for an independent school

Challenge

A single failed server threatened to take down learner records, finance and timetable systems with no tested recovery path.

Solution

Replatformed onto VMware with Commvault and Veeam-backed offsite replication into Azure, plus a documented and tested DR runbook.

Outcomes
  • Recovery time objective brought down from days to under 2 hours
  • Quarterly DR tests now pass without manual intervention
  • Staff freed from after-hours backup babysitting
