Unfortunately, 26% of businesses cite financial pressures as a barrier to adopting digital tools.
A Case Study in Success
Being a systems integrator and solution provider, we regularly see the digital struggles. One of our customers, a medium-sized professional services consultancy was grappling with aging infrastructure, poor security, system failures, and out-of-support software. The workforce was frustrated with constant technical barriers, and the need for change was urgent.
Recognising the potential savings and employee engagement, the consultancy engaged with us to discuss the benefits of adjusting their technology for business growth.
Steps to Transformation
Our team designed a comprehensive roadmap addressing short, medium, and long-term strategic outcomes. Leveraging established tools and frameworks from partners like HPE, CDC and Microsoft, they executed a full-scale digital overhaul. This included migrating all servers to our secure, NZ-based cloud, implementing Microsoft 365, Managed Desktop as a Service, and GPU as a Service.
The result was a resilient and highly available core infrastructure.
The digital transformation laid a solid foundation for further advancements. With low-code application development, teams could quickly ideate, build, and deploy solutions, enhancing productivity, data quality, and security. The focus shifted from technology challenges to harnessing digital technologies as a competitive advantage.
