A connected workplace for a growing team

The Challenge

As the business grew, staff increasingly needed access to files from different locations. Important data was stored on an ageing on-premises file server, making remote access difficult and creating concerns around resilience, backup and future scalability.

The organisation wanted a modern solution that would provide secure access to information from anywhere while reducing reliance on traditional server infrastructure.

The Solution

Power On IT helped the business migrate its shared data from an on-premises file server to Microsoft SharePoint Online.

The project included:

Reviewing existing folder structures and permissions
Designing a modern SharePoint environment
Migrating business data to Microsoft 365
Configuring secure access for users
Implementing Microsoft Entra ID and Multi-Factor Authentication
Training staff on using SharePoint and OneDrive

The solution provided staff with secure access to company files whether working in the office, from home or on the move.

The Outcome

Following the migration, the organisation benefited from:

·         Access to files from any location

·         Improved collaboration across teams

·         Reduced reliance on ageing server hardware

·         Built-in Microsoft 365 resilience and version history

·         Simplified document sharing and permission management

·         A modern platform ready to support future growth

The business now operates on a more flexible and resilient foundation, with information securely available whenever and wherever it is needed.
