How Lee Group Used VITG to Rollout Microsoft Teams to Their Business
Lee Group is a Melbourne-based commercial fencing company operating in the small to medium-sized business space. Founded in 1948, they originally operated as a domestic timber yard. Today, they work in the B2B space on commercial infrastructure projects such as freeway noise walls, fencing and gate solutions for rail, and high-security fencing for prisons.
They are a values-driven company, holding their values (environment, capability, adaptability, respect, delivery, and safety) at the core of what they do, with a mission to create a safe and supportive culture.
“The transition to Microsoft Teams was seamless, quick, with responsive support accessible, allowing staff to work from home instantly.” Anthony Vanderbyl, General Manager
The Challenge
Lee Group had several Windows 7 workstations that needed replacement. Additionally, they wanted to make their business cloud-based, giving their team the tools to work from anywhere and removing the need for on-premise server infrastructure.
The Solution
Lee Group implemented Microsoft Teams across their business, eliminating the requirement for an onsite server and making their technology setup simple, scalable, and cost-effective.
This allowed their team to operate during the pandemic with a work-from-home culture while Melbourne was in lockdown.
“VITG presented a solution that included security, digital transformation, and IT support for our business,” says Shelley Lampard, Marketing Coordinator at Lee Group.
At the same time, they upgraded their fleet of computers from Windows 7 to Windows 10, keeping them in line with the latest technology trends and helping to keep their business cybersafe.
The Results
Lee Group no longer maintains or relies on in-office server infrastructure; they have a cost-effective, simple solution that allows their team to work seamlessly from anywhere.
“We can schedule virtual meetings and access our files from home. This allows our team to easily work from home when required,” says Lampard.
Their computers now have the latest operating system, bringing them in line with today’s technology trends and providing a solid baseline for building a robust cybersecurity framework.
“Our engagement with VITG is easy; we have access to our key support contacts, which makes getting support simple.”
