Technology investment company improves ROI with SharePoint migration

Substantial SharePoint Migration ROI for Venture Capital company

Our client is a global venture capital company specialising in technological investments, inheritance tax relief, Growth EIS and Start Ups. Since their inception, they’ve worked tirelessly to ensure early stage technology companies get the financial investment they need to thrive – and for 24 years, they’ve become a trusted specialist in investments and portfolios.

Executive brief

Migrating away from outdated on-premise

The client came to us looking for help migrating SharePoint from on-premise to the cloud, as maintaining the outdated technology had become too expensive and just wasn’t working for them any more. We began work to move their entire systems over to the cloud to overhaul their content libraries, improve collaboration, and simplify document management. A new compliance management system ensured that stakeholders were kept ahead of their evolving compliance requirements.

The Challenge

Improving ROI with SharePoint Migration

Our experts looked into the on-premise system and saw there was no organisation, user segmentation, or management in place to keep it efficient and secure. The client realised they didn’t have the workforce or expertise to complete the work independently, so they needed a tried and trusted expert. Which is where we came in, helping them create a structure that facilitated the above.

 

Alongside this new accessible and organised SharePoint environment, the client also needed proper compliance document management to ensure they stay on track with the latest regulations without taking the focus off the business.

 

Accessibility of the new solution was also a priority, to ensure that all employees with all levels of technical skill could confidently use the cloud version.

The Solution

A new SharePoint in the clouds…

Once we understood the client’s requirements, we developed a new SharePoint online system that fit their needs and ultimately made content easier to find, work on, collaborate with, and simplified the whole document management and creation process.

 

The new compliance management system allowed for reminders whenever essential documentation needed updating or privacy regulations were changing. Meaning stakeholders could devote their time to growing the business, avoid costly fines, and stay compliant.

 

After a few months of using the new system, they reported better organisation, proper segmentation, user permission processes, and are now always on top of their compliance needs.

The Results

Revolutionised processes

Our client was finally able to take control of their essential documents and stay compliant with data regulations. The new cloud based solution also saved the company a large sum in monthly maintenance costs.

 

Our over-the-shoulder training services also helped guarantee a smooth onboarding process. Our SharePoint experts trained their staff to use and take advantage of the new cloud solution and were quick to master SharePoint features.

Analytics cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

Google Analytics
The cookie _gcl_au is used by Google Analytics to understand user interaction with the website.

For example, in order for Google Analytics to determine that two distinct hits belong to the same user, a unique identifier, associated with that particular user, must be sent with each hit.

The analytics.js library accomplishes this via the Client ID field, a unique, randomly generated string that gets stored in the browsers cookies, so subsequent visits to the same site can be associated with the same user.

By default, analytics.js uses a single, first-party cookie named _ga to store the Client ID, but the cookie's name, domain, and expiration time can all be customized. Other cookies created by analytics.js include _gid, AMP_TOKEN and _gac_. These cookies store other randomly generated ids and campaign information about the user.
