As one of Australia’s most trusted suppliers of water quality control and dosing equipment, Aquarius identified the need for an IT company who could deliver secure and reliable technology solutions.
Ryan Palmer, Director, said, ‘Managing both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 was creating constant challenges, leading to integration issues, security gaps, and limited oversight of user access.’
They saw opportunities to enhance backup and recovery solutions and improve security practices. Frequent personal use of company devices by employees was increasing security risks. Upgrading from the current Google Business license would provide advanced security features now standard in today’s IT landscape.
Using the TechAlign audit process, TechPath conducted a detailed analysis of Aquarius’s IT infrastructure and worked closely with their team to deliver a robust, security-focused transformation. Key deliverables included a seamless migration to Microsoft 365 with data moved to SharePoint, enhanced security through Entra ID with MFA and Conditional Access, and upgraded Business Premium licensing.
Centralised device management was implemented via Intune, along with cloud-native solutions for printer and email management, and the configuration of Defender profiles and policies. Additional upgrades included high-speed internet with SD-WAN, a secure Azure server with VPN, and a tested backup solution, significantly boosting Aquarius’s IT resilience.
The new cloud-hosted environment ensures continuous access to critical applications and reliable data restoration, reinforcing legal and compliance safeguards.
Ryan shared, ‘We found TechPath through traditional channels and were impressed by their high customer satisfaction ratings. After a thorough discussion of the TechAlign auditing process, we felt confident that we were in exceptionally capable hands.’
The new IT solution has transformed Aquarius’s environment into a secure, future-ready, and efficient setup, delivering peace of mind with enhanced data security. With robust protections in place, the team can now focus fully on their primary responsibilities, freeing them from the constant burden of managing IT and security concerns. This shift has maximised productivity, reduced operational overheads, and minimised downtime, providing stakeholders with assurance that their data is protected and bringing a new level of confidence and efficiency to the business.
Ryan said, ‘From start to finish, the process was transparent and well-managed, which only reinforced our belief that TechPath was the right choice for our IT infrastructure upgrades and ongoing Managed IT.’
When asked for advice on tightening security measures, Ryan said, ‘It’s essential for companies to take IT security seriously given today’s cyber risks. A cyber-attack can undo years of hard work in minutes. Delegating IT management to professionals like TechPath allows companies to focus on driving business growth, while ensuring that their data and systems are protected.’
