case study
a success story
“the digital workspace”
Ward Holdings Ltd
the challenge
Ward didn’t have the time to manage the hardware of their current environment and the company recognized it needed to refresh its technology infrastructure significantly
also, operating site-projects (essentially remote offices), Ward have an ultra-mobile workforce
with users having different versions of Microsoft Office installed, even simple tasks became cumbersome and time-consuming
Ward's ultimate objective was to implement a scalable environment that freed up time and resources so that its employees could focus more on the strategic projects
Ward Holdings Ltd is a Dubai based private company operating within the real estate sector focusing on diversified reit's and acts as an investment vehicle to purchase real estate and hospitality businesses
Ward's key focus is on hotel and real estate management
the solution
oryx services successfully executed Ward’s migration to Office 365 including the implementation of OneDrive and SharePoint Online and trained end users to assure fast adoption and smooth roll-out
the new system’s scalability relieved Ward of the worry that they could run out of disk space or have critical elements of their environment down for periods of time, both situations that they had run into in the past
the results
with Office 365 implemented, cloud applications like Teams and SharePoint have opened up communication lines and increased collaboration
the implementation has reduced Ward’s licensing and hardware costs, while freeing IT from the time burdens of maintaining their environment, doing backups and patching
having employees on one platform has helped everyone work more efficiently, including having critical business information such as purchase orders, invoices and job costing centralized and online
