Volt Edge was running on ageing servers and outdated network gear with weak security and no central Microsoft 365 governance. Relevate migrated everything to the cloud, redesigned the network, and strengthened security, giving Volt Edge the reliability and confidence to expand from one office to three.
THE CHALLENGE
Volt Edge relied on ageing on premise servers and outdated networking gear that could not keep pace with business growth. Staff struggled with slow systems, unreliable access to files and frequent hardware failures. Security was limited, with basic router protection, weak email filtering and no central governance for Microsoft 365. As the team grew; managing identities, enforcing policies and protecting devices became increasingly difficult. Volt Edge needed a modern, secure and scalable IT foundation to reduce friction and support long term growth. They were seeking a technology partner who could redesign their environment without disrupting daily work.
THE SOLUTION
Relevate partnered with Volt Edge to deliver a complete technology transformation built around reliability, security and scalability.
- Cloud Migration: We migrated all onsite servers to a secure cloud environment, eliminating hardware risk and improving performance for both onsite and remote staff
- Network Redesign & Security: We replaced legacy network equipment with enterprise grade routers and advanced security appliances, delivering stronger segmentation and threat protection
- Microsoft 365 Administration: We implemented best practice governance for Microsoft 365, adding multi factor authentication, conditional access and compliance policies across all users
- Email Security: We implemented advanced anti phishing and threat filters to defend against malicious emails and unsafe attachments
- Essential Eight Alignment: We upgraded Volt Edge’s cyber maturity using the Essential Eight framework – patching schedules, backup improvements, application controls and endpoint hardening
THE OUTCOME
Volt Edge now operates on a reliable, secure, cloud based environment with dramatically improved performance and reduced downtime. Teams can access business applications quickly from anywhere and critical data is protected with layered security controls. The upgrade in infrastructure and cyber maturity has given Volt Edge the stability and confidence to expand, from a single office to three locations, including Sydney and Melbourne. With scalable systems, centralised Microsoft administration and strong security controls, the business is well positioned for continued growth.
