The Challenge
An ageing IT infrastructure was reliant on multiple on premises servers, applications and platforms. They wanted to modernise their infrastructure, improve their security and scalability, and streamline their workflows. They faced several challenges:
They had a mix of on-premises, physical and virtual servers, at a single location, which meant a reliance on services such as power and internet connectivity to enable the company to function.
They had multiple Microsoft licenses and subscriptions, but needed to assess if these were the right ones for their needs.
With multiple company locations, as well as remote workers, they needed to optimise access to files and applications to create efficiencies in the way the business operated.
They needed a partner who could help them migrate to the cloud, optimise their Microsoft services and enable them to use SharePoint effectively.
The Solution
Contamac chose TechWyse, a Microsoft Partner that specialises in cloud services, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, to provide a comprehensive solution that included:
A cloud assessment and migration plan that analysed the client’s current IT environment and identified the best cloud strategy and solutions for their goals.
A Microsoft 365 optimisation service that reviewed the client’s Microsoft licenses and subscriptions and recommended the most suitable and cost-effective ones for their needs.
A SharePoint implementation and training service that helped the client to set up and customise SharePoint sites, libraries and workflows, and trained their staff on how to use SharePoint for collaboration and document management.
The Results
Contamac was very satisfied with the solution and the results. They achieved the following benefits:
They reduced their IT costs by moving to the cloud and consolidating their Microsoft licenses and subscriptions.
They improved their security and scalability by using Microsoft’s cloud services, which offered advanced protection and backup features.
They increased their collaboration and productivity by using SharePoint, which enabled them to share and access information, documents and workflows across their teams and projects.
The client also appreciated the ongoing support and guidance from TechWyse, which helped them to maximise their return on investment and leverage the full potential of their cloud and Microsoft solutions.
What Contamac say…
TechWyse was instrumental in helping us to migrate to the cloud and optimise our Microsoft services. They were very knowledgeable, responsive and reliable. They helped us to simplify our IT infrastructure, reduce our costs and improve our collaboration.
We are very happy with the results and we would highly recommend TechWyse to anyone looking for a trusted Microsoft Partner
