Business Objectives

• Future-proof their IT environment
• Modernise their IT infrastructure
• Improve their data management & security

Executive Summary

Stone Axe upgraded their IT infrastructure with Office Solutions IT.

Stone Axe initially operated with a small team during the early stages of their business. But as they grew, their IT needs grew right along with them, and their original setup just couldn't keep up with their changing demands.

Recognising their need to modernise their IT infrastructure, they engaged with Office Solutions IT for Managed IT Services to support their growing organisation. 

The Challenges

Outdated systems and processes

Stone Axe had an IT infrastructure that no longer suits their operational demands. While they maintained a SharePoint environment, its configuration was insufficient to support their expanding operations and evolving data security needs.

To modernise their IT and support long-term growth, they engaged with an OSIT Partner to develop and implement the right IT solution for their organisation.

The Solution

Develop a long-term IT plan with vCIO and set up Microsoft 365 Licenses

An OSIT Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) collaborated with Stone Axe to develop a comprehensive IT strategy aimed at establishing a modern and secure infrastructure.

This IT strategy includes upgrading their SharePoint environment to facilitate faster data access, implementing additional security measures to improve cyber defences, and enhancing communication and data accessibility across all Stone Axe locations through Microsoft Teams. 

Throughout the IT modernisation project, our helpdesk and ongoing managed support services were readily available to ensure a seamless transition and address any issues that may arise. This approach allowed them to stay ahead of any potential challenges with the new systems.

The Results

Enhanced and highly secure IT environment poised to drive their expansion

Stone Axe now benefits from a stable and modernised IT infrastructure that supports their continued growth.

With the assistance of OSIT’s vCIO services, they were able to align their IT operations with their current goals and operations. Furthermore, their new SharePoint environment has been optimised for increased security, and our team provided training to ensure seamless user adoption. Communication within regional locations has been strengthened among all users.

Ultimately, Stone Axe now has a dedicated team of IT support experts ready to assist with any IT-related queries as their primary point of contact.
