Client: Cement Manufacturing Company
Industry: Wholesale Building Materials
Organisation Size: 51-200 employees
Headquarters: Queensland
Technologies: SharePoint 2019 On-Premises
The Challenge
A large cement manufacturing company required a modern, secure, and efficient SharePoint environment to enhance collaboration, document management, and overall operational efficiency. Their existing system was outdated and did not support hybrid integration with Office 365.
The Solution
CG TECH proposed a comprehensive solution to build and configure a new SharePoint environment. The key steps included:
- SharePoint 2019 Installation: CG TECH set up a brand-new SharePoint 2019 server farm, carefully configuring all necessary services, security protocols, and integrations. This included conducting rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
- Intranet Development: An initial intranet framework was developed to provide the client with essential communication and collaboration features. This included a customized homepage, a searchable people directory, and structured document libraries to enhance document access and version control.
- Documentation and Handover: As part of the knowledge transfer and sustainability plan, CG TECH delivered comprehensive as-built documentation. This included system architecture diagrams, configuration records, and user guides. A formal handover was conducted to ensure the client’s IT team could maintain and expand the environment confidently.
The Benefits
- Enhanced Collaboration: The new intranet enabled seamless communication across departments, empowering staff to share documents and updates efficiently via a centralized platform.
- Operational Efficiency: Document workflows and approvals were significantly streamlined, reducing manual tasks and allowing the organization to integrate SharePoint with their existing Office 365 environment.
- Future-Proofing: With a scalable architecture in place, the organization is now well-prepared to expand their digital workspace and adopt future technologies without overhauling their existing infrastructure.
- Cost Savings: By leveraging hybrid cloud capabilities and reducing reliance on outdated systems, the organization achieved noticeable cost savings, particularly in maintenance and document management overhead.
