The project was framed over three phases: Securing & Stabilising the environment, foundational enabling works for Modernising the Environment, and Modernising & Transforming the ICT estate. Results ## A major transformation with multiple milestone achievements The client’s ICT estate was assessed through targeted documentation reviews, workshops with the ICT & business teams, and gaps with associated recommendations developed under the following headings:  - Infrastructure  - Data  - Infrastructure Services  - Business Applications  - Business Interfaces    Auxilion identified the operational ‘slack’ for each area and provided a detailed Infrastructure ‘As Is’ model (based on industry best practices). This was then used to assess, review and frame remedial works while developing a longer-term road map for a more transformational ICT solution.  Targeted recommendations were made to: - Bring the client into support for Server OSs, Platforms and Production Workloads which posed immediate risks   - Replace the SAN to provide both Storage and Performance Capacity.   - Introduce a Hybrid Cloud solution, based on Azure, to address short term capacity and performance concerns and to allow the client to harness the advantages of Cloud IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS brings for new ways of developing software and Architecting ICT solutions.   - Adopt Microsoft O365 & Intune to leverage productivity, collaboration & security - Simplify & Reduce ICT platforms outside of their HQ site   - Re-architect their backup solutions to harness Azure Cloud Storage for long-term retention and to decouple backups and production workloads in the same location.   - Explore the possibility of outsourcing their security management to a Managed Service provider.   “In our industry, reliable IT infrastructure, data security, and communications are essential. Having a partner with Auxilion’s expertise throughout a major transition was crucial to us.” #### Chief Information Officer next case study ![](https://www.auxilion.com/hubfs/blank_logo.png) ### Best practice public sector governance framework and training [read next client solution](https://www.auxilion.com/client-success-stories/best-practice-public-sector-governance-framework-and-training) ![letstalk-back](https://www.auxilion.com/hubfs/Auxilion_Theme/letstalk-back.png "letstalk-back") ## Experience the difference in our thinking [![Let's talk](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5095261/ee4b3ad6-2690-48e5-8ba7-a1bc7ae4cc8e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5095261/ee4b3ad6-2690-48e5-8ba7-a1bc7ae4cc8e) [Follow us on LinkedIn ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/auxilion/) [Follow us on Twitter ](https://twitter.com/auxiliontweet) [Follow us on Instagram ](https://instagram.com/auxilionhq) [Follow us on Facebook ](https://youtube.com/@Auxilionhq) [hello@auxilion.com](mailto:hello@auxilion.com) [![logo-dark](https://www.auxilion.com/hubfs/Auxilion_Theme/logo-dark.svg "logo-dark")](https://auxilion-5095261.hs-sites.com/) We are part of the[ I.T.
