Innovate · Pillar 04 of 04

Projects, data and automation that change how you work

Once the basics are stable and secure, technology can do more. Innovate is where we deliver projects, better reporting and automation that removes manual work, each one tied to a business goal, a budget and a timeline.

01What is in Innovate

Eight services, one delivery team

Every engagement links back to a business goal, a budget and a timeline, so you can see what the work changed.

01

AI and automation

We map where staff spend time on repetitive work, then pilot automation and AI on those steps with clear measures of success.

Best for removing manual, rule based work
02

Microsoft Copilot

A data access review first, so sensitive content stays protected, then a pilot with selected users and simple use cases by role.

Best for a safe, structured start with AI
03

AI security

Find which AI tools staff use, agree the approved ones and stop client and personal information going into the rest.

Best before Copilot, or if ChatGPT worries you
04

IT consulting and strategy

Practical advice and a one to three year IT roadmap covering infrastructure, security, cloud, data and applications, reviewed as the business changes.

Best for planning where to invest next
05

Virtual CIO

Senior IT leadership without a full time salary: priorities, budgets and a roadmap your board can follow.

Best for businesses without an IT manager
06

IT project services

Infrastructure, cloud and application projects delivered from discovery to handover, with timelines, risks and updates in plain language.

Best for office moves, upgrades and migrations
07

Data reporting

Data from different systems brought together, cleaned and shaped into reports leaders can trust, instead of one off spreadsheets.

Best for businesses running on spreadsheets
08

Software development

Small, focused web apps, integrations and tools that close the gaps between your systems, documented so you are not tied to one developer.

Best when off the shelf software does not quite fit

Also in Innovate: Power BI and DevOps consulting. Next pillar: Manage, support, devices and connectivity.

02Sound familiar

Signs there is a better way

The problems business owners and IT managers bring to us most, and what we do about each one.

Reports take days to pull together

Someone exports from three systems every month and nobody fully trusts the numbers.

FixOne data model and a Power BI dashboard that updates itself.

Projects drift

Deadlines slip, the scope grows and the handover to support is an afterthought.

FixA clear scope, a fixed price and a planned handover into support.

Staff retype the same data

Orders, timesheets or client details get keyed into more than one system.

FixIntegrations and automation that move the data for them.

There is no IT plan beyond this year

Spending happens when something breaks rather than when the business needs it.

FixA one to three year roadmap with budgets you can plan around.

06Questions

Questions about Innovate

Straight answers to what Perth businesses ask before they start. Anything else, call 1300 787 429.

01

What kind of projects do you take on?

Office moves and fit outs, server and cloud migrations, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint rollouts, network upgrades, reporting and automation. thyssenkrupp alone has had more than 100 projects delivered since 2016.

02

Do you work on fixed price projects?

Yes. Once the scope is agreed you get a fixed price and timeline before work starts. If the scope changes, we quote the change before doing it.

03

Do we need to be a managed client first?

No. We take on projects for businesses we do not already support. Projects do move faster when we know your environment, which is one reason many project clients stay on for support.

04

Where do we start with AI?

With your processes, not the tools. We find repetitive, rule based work, test automation or AI on a small pilot and measure the result before a wider rollout. If you use Microsoft 365, Copilot is often the first step.

05

What is the difference between data reporting and Power BI?

Data reporting is the groundwork: bringing data together, cleaning it and deciding what to measure. Power BI is the tool we usually use to present it as live dashboards.

06

How do you keep projects on track?

A clear scope, one project lead and regular updates in plain language. Risks and dependencies are set out at the start, and the handover into support is planned from day one.
