Client Overview

A labour hire company working in the medical space. Xen IT pulled its systems together, set up Microsoft 365 properly and strengthened its cyber security, while cutting its annual IT spend from $130,000 to $35,000, all in.

The Challenge

When Xen IT was onboarded, the company was working across four separate systems: a cloud file server, Google Drive, SharePoint and a local Microsoft Access database.
