ACS approached Just One for this project due to several factors, the most urgent being the end of Microsoft support for their current operating system license and the hardware it was installed on. This made it necessary for an update to the domain level to a supported version. Additionally, Just One faced challenges with missing files and overwrites on their existing infrastructure, which were worsened by inadequate storage on their on-premise server. ACS proposed a solution centred around a hybrid cloud environment, aiming to enhance accessibility, scalability, security, and reliability while minimising risks and costs associated with IT systems. The project had a strict timeline due to an impending audit of their systems.
The migration project was a success, completed within the allocated timeframe, ensuring a seamless audit process. By transitioning to the cloud system, Just One significantly reduced support tickets from users. The new system seamlessly integrates with their complex folder structure. Additionally, the implementation of SharePoint and OneDrive drives collaboration, replacing their previous on-premises approach that had caused issues. The introduction of new network equipment prioritises Just One’s system security, complemented by ACS’s cloud-to-cloud backup solution, which adds multiple layers of security to their IT estate.
