Project

Initial Situation and Objective

Location Independence and highest Security Standards.

The successful software developers from St. Gallen have long been working in flexible and distributed teams. However, earlier technical solutions led to shortcomings that made daily work more difficult. When the time came to upgrade its own server infrastructure, Steag & Partner AG opted for a modern cloud-based approach that consolidates and integrates previously isolated solutions such as VPN, data structures, and telephony.

Project

Implementation of a holistic Cloud and Workplace Strategy.

Previously, employees communicated via channels such as Teams, email, or third-party solutions. They typically stored their data on servers. Keeping the development environment up to date was time-consuming. To create a consistent, secure, and location-independent workplace, it was necessary to define a new cloud and workplace strategy. At the same time, the internal IT infrastructure was to be completely replaced. As a logical consequence of this situation, the decision was made to implement a cloud-managed modern workplace with comprehensive security features.

Solution

A secure and customized Workplace.

In a very short time, Epic Fusion assessed the initial situation using the digital fitness check. Working closely with the edoniq team, they aligned the requirements with the strategy through iterative coordination – laying the foundation for the Modern Workplace. The closely guided, agile project methodology enabled adjustments to be reviewed and approved directly. At the same time, the project team developed the definitions for the next project phases in collaborative workshops. Through Epic Fusion’s holistic 5-step plan approach, the previous telephony solution and existing server-based data were also migrated to Microsoft Teams. To meet the high security standards, a cloud security architecture was developed. Based on Microsoft Security Layers, it ensures the highest level of adaptive security – across all users and devices. All development environments are always kept up to date with the latest updates. New devices are installed directly via the cloud with just a few clicks. This saves costs and significantly increases flexibility.

RESULTS

Flexible, location-independent Modern Workplace

Thanks to the cloud migration, employees can work from anywhere without compromising security or efficiency. Previous isolated solutions have been fully replaced by an integrated, modern workplace environment.

 

Highest Security Standards

The new cloud security architecture, based on Microsoft Security Layers, seamlessly protects data, devices, and users while enabling adaptive security measures.

Efficient, centralized Work Environment

All development environments and communication channels (Teams, email, data storage) are now integrated, up-to-date, and easy to manage, which simplifies internal collaboration.

Fast Implementation and Cost Savings

Thanks to agile methodologies and the digital fitness check, adjustments could be implemented immediately. New devices can be deployed in just a few clicks, saving time and resources.
