Higher Education - (Azure)

Education is no longer locked to the classroom

INTEGY recently worked with a college to migrate their IT infrastructure to Microsoft Azure, and the results have been exceptional. The college was looking for a solution that would de-risk and future-proof their IT investment, and INTEGY was able to help them achieve their goal.

One of the key benefits of moving to Azure is that the college now has access to a highly scalable and flexible infrastructure that can grow and evolve with their changing needs. This means that they no longer have to worry about running out of capacity or having to make expensive investments in new hardware. Instead, they can simply add or remove resources as needed, ensuring that their IT infrastructure is always optimized for their current needs.

Another benefit of moving to Azure is that it provides the college with enhanced security and compliance features that are essential for a higher education institution. Azure meets strict security and compliance standards, such as SOC1, SOC2, and ISO 27001, which means that the college can be confident that their data is secure and protected.

Working with INTEGY on this project was a major factor in its success. INTEGY's expertise and experience in migrating organizations to the cloud were invaluable, and they were able to guide the college through the entire process, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. The INTEGY team was able to work closely with the college's IT team to understand their specific needs and requirements, and tailor their approach to ensure a successful outcome.

With INTEGY's help, the college was able to reduce their overall IT costs by moving to Azure. Azure's pay-as-you-go model means that the college only pays for the resources they use, which has led to significant cost savings compared to their previous IT infrastructure. The college has also been able to enjoy improved performance and efficiency, as well as increased uptime and reliability, thanks to Azure's highly redundant and scalable architecture.

In conclusion, INTEGY's expertise and experience in cloud migration, combined with the benefits of Microsoft Azure, has enabled the college to de-risk and future-proof their IT investment. The college now has a highly flexible and scalable IT infrastructure that can grow and evolve with their changing needs, as well as enhanced security and compliance features that help ensure the protection of their data.

Working with INTEGY has been a key factor in the success of this project and has provided the college with the peace of mind that comes with a robust and reliable IT infrastructure.

Empowering Innovation Through Modern IT: A Case Study

December 16, 2024

At INTEGY, we’re passionate about enabling organisations to embrace the future of work, especially when innovation and agility are at the heart of their mission. Recently, we had the privilege of supporting a client whose business serves as a launchpad for startups, providing the technology and equipment needed to kickstart their journey. The Challenge: Outdated IT for a Growing Organisation Our client’s IT infrastructure was a traditional setup, with user accounts and devices tightly bound to Active Directory. This configuration required devices to maintain network connectivity to on-premises servers, creating operational limitations. With the facility expanding to three separate locations, this approach no longer supported their need for flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. Startups thrive on speed and adaptability, and their IT systems needed to reflect those principles. The reliance on traditional IT was slowing them down, creating unnecessary overhead, and limiting their ability to provide the seamless experience their customers expected. The Solution: A Cloud-Native Transformation We transformed their IT environment into a modern, cloud-native setup: Entra ID for Identity Management Every device is now joined to Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), shifting identity management to the cloud. This eliminates the need for on-premises servers, offering secure access from anywhere. Intune for Device Management Devices are now managed through Microsoft Intune, enabling streamlined policy enforcement, application deployment, and security updates, all delivered from the cloud. Enhanced Security with Zero Trust Principles We implemented a Zero Trust security model, ensuring that devices and users are authenticated and compliant before accessing resources. Defender for Endpoint provides enhanced threat protection and visibility across their environment. Simplified User Experience By decoupling devices from on-premises dependencies, we empowered their users to work from any location with a secure, seamless experience. Scalability and Agility With their new cloud-native IT framework, our client is no longer constrained by physical infrastructure. They can now scale operations effortlessly as they open new locations and onboard new startups. The Results: Flexibility, Efficiency, and Growth The move to a cloud-native configuration has been a game-changer for our client. They’ve gained: Operational Efficiency : IT management is simpler and faster, reducing administrative overhead. Improved User Experience : Users now enjoy consistent and reliable access to systems, regardless of location. Scalability : Expansion to new sites no longer requires complex IT overhauls. Security : Advanced cloud security tools ensure their data and devices remain protected. By embracing modern IT, our client is better positioned to serve their customers and focus on what matters most: empowering innovation for startups. Helping You Move Forward If your organisation is grappling with the limitations of traditional IT and looking to make the leap to a cloud-native future, we’re here to help. Let’s transform your IT and unlock your potential.
