Future Resilience Starts with Technology

06 November 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of business, staying ahead means embracing change and leveraging technology to its fullest potential. For many New Zealand SMEs, this journey can be daunting, but with the right approach, it becomes a path to growth and innovation.

 

Industry stats on technology adoption

The importance of digital transformation has been proven time and time again by industry statistics. By 2025, global spending on digital transformation is expected to reach $2.3 trillion. 

In New Zealand, businesses recognise the critical need to adapt or risk obsolescence, with 43% of businesses agreeing they would benefit from making greater use of digital tools.

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.

The benefits of deployments of this level are substantial.
