The Customer
The Diocesan IT Consortium is a collaborative effort involving the Church of England dioceses of Guildford, Winchester, and Portsmouth. Together, they procure shared IT services to support around 270 staff members, including senior clergy and volunteers. Their reach spans across Surrey and Hampshire, as well as extending into London, Sussex, and Dorset.
The Challenge
The Consortium aimed to maximize Microsoft 365’s value, creating central hubs for improved communication and collaboration. They faced challenges with outdated systems and data fragmentation, seeking to consolidate information and enhance user experience while ensuring security and compliance.
Our Approach
Transputec explored data, designed architecture, and built SharePoint sites. They migrated personal data to OneDrive, tested in a sandbox, and fixed broken links. The project involved collaborative management and a steering committee for effective change implementation.
The Outcome
The implementation of Microsoft SharePoint Online represented a pivotal moment for the Diocese. It opened doors to a more efficient and collaborative work environment. Moreover, this transition enhanced data security and resilience, ensuring the protection and availability of critical information. By embracing cloud technology, the Diocese gained the ability to scale their operations allowing them to focus on their core mission.
