The goal
With approximately 580 employees spread across 4 locations, Callaghan Innovation sought to move from its current Google Workspace productivity and collaboration suite to Microsoft 365 and review its cybersecurity tools, defining the best tool for the job and implementing it to keep its data and systems secure. Overall, it aimed to maintain high-security standards and workforce collaboration capabilities while ensuring seamless migration, implementation, and adoption across its technology choices.
The solutions
Dynamo6 partnered with Callaghan Innovation to deliver a seamless migration to Microsoft 365 and implement CrowdStrike cybersecurity solutions. Our approach involved a comprehensive discovery phase to understand Callaghan Innovation's current IT environment and future needs.
This involved workshops to discuss various areas such as security, identity management, device management, application management, and cloud infrastructure. Based on these discussions, Dynamo6 provided recommendations for a future-state solution, including adopting Microsoft 365, user controls, training strategies, and migration plans. This also involved designing and implementing a robust security framework, including deploying CrowdStrike for advanced threat protection.
By migrating user data, applications, and configurations and providing comprehensive training and support, we empowered Callaghan Innovation to maintain its collaboration and productivity and strengthen its security posture.
