Case studies and client outcomes

Proof, not promises.

What the business needed, what we did, and what changed.

Every study is anonymised or published with client approval, the numbers are the ones we measured on the engagement, and the full PDF sits behind each preview.

DayOne+ Deal
From parent-company dependency to standalone operations.
Industry
Global industrial technology
Challenge
A global industrial technology business was being separated from a larger parent estate under a nine-month Transition Services Agreement. Identity, email, collaboration, network and endpoint services were all provided by the parent. The team needed a defensible plan that protected users through the deal, cleared TSA obligations on time, and left the business standing on its own supportable operating model.
Outcome
TSA runway managed from announcement to independent operations

DayOne+ Value
Merger integration, then a clean carve-out of the consulting arm.
Industry
Professional services
Challenge
A regional accounting and advisory firm was integrated into a larger professional services group. Years later, the consulting entity had to be separated back out. Both events had to keep client-facing teams productive across Microsoft 365, practice management, audit tooling, network, print and telephony, without disruption to live engagements.
Outcome
Transactions supported: merger integration and later entity carve-out

DayOne+ Value
De-risking a compliance-sensitive aerospace carve-out.
Industry
Aerospace manufacturing
Challenge
A newly independent aerospace manufacturing group needed to separate from its former parent across the US, UK, Malaysia and Thailand. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling, CMMC and NIST 800-171 obligations sat at the centre of the transaction. Identity, email, licensing, secure file transfer and the learning platform all had to be operational at change of control, in a design that a future US federal auditor would accept.
Outcome
Countries co-ordinated across US, UK, Malaysia and Thailand

DayOne+ Portfolio
Multi-site separation from a shared legacy estate.
Industry
Family office / investment group
Challenge
A newly formed family office and investment group had to separate from two shared Active Directory forests and a legacy on-premises estate. Sites ranged from head offices to remote estates with limited connectivity. Identity, collaboration, network, telephony and video conferencing all had to be re-platformed without disrupting principals, family members or portfolio operations.
Outcome
Legacy AD forests consolidated into a dedicated identity platform
Read the case study
DayOne+ Deal
Standing up a newly independent professional services business.
Industry
Professional services
Challenge
A specialist team was separating from a larger accounting network. They needed their own Microsoft 365, identity, licensing, security, voice and connectivity stack. The engagement moved from carve-out advisory into a formal stand-up scope, and the TSA needed to be framed on confirmed services, data, access, ownership and timelines from the parent firm.
Outcome
Workstreams: governance, IT separation, licensing and managed services
Read the case study
DayOne+ Deal
A secure Microsoft 365 stand-up for a newly independent US advisory firm.
Industry
Risk advisory
Challenge
A small risk advisory team was separating from its parent firm's Microsoft 365 tenant as the parent exited the US market. Users, devices, mailboxes, SharePoint deal data and licences all had to be carved out in a controlled, amicable way, and the new entity needed to land on a secure, managed footing from day one.
Outcome
Users, devices and data carved out under a phased, amicable separation plan

Managed AI
From AI curiosity to a governed portfolio of practical use cases.
Industry
Multi-store retail operations
Challenge
AI-adjacent opportunities were emerging in parallel across marketing content, store operations, finance reporting, training and internal knowledge. The risk was that AI would stay a collection of isolated demos rather than becoming a managed capability with clear ownership, workshops, governance, solution delivery and measurable adoption. The engagement had to turn enthusiasm into structured execution.
Outcome
Managed AI operating model spanning marketing, finance, training and operations
Read the case study
Managed AI
A financial services group builds a governed AI adoption engine.
Industry
Financial services group
Challenge
Interest in AI was growing faster than the controls around it. Employees were exploring public tools independently, usage differed by department, and leadership had little central visibility into what was being used or on what information. In a business handling sensitive financial data, the exposure created by uncontrolled AI use mattered as much as the opportunity. What the group needed was not access to AI technology, but a managed adoption framework balancing innovation, governance, security, enablement and business value.
Outcome
Governed adoption model replacing fragmented departmental experimentation

Managed IT GRC
Governance, risk visibility and cyber resilience in a regulated business.
Industry
Regulated financial services
Challenge
The client needed more than a once-off compliance review. It required a practical operating model for IT governance, risk management, compliance readiness and cybersecurity oversight. Internal steering material pointed to the same gaps: IT oversight was not formalised in a governance forum aligned to risk and audit structures, priority risks and audit findings spanned storage capacity, ageing infrastructure, policy gaps, backup management, segregation of duties, unsupported software and security event monitoring, and evidence collection was manual. Regulatory and cyber resilience expectations relevant to financial services needed a clearer basis for alignment.
Outcome
Managed governance, risk and compliance running as an ongoing capability

NumataOne
A scalable technology foundation across a national franchise network.
Industry
National equipment rental franchise network
Challenge
The client runs head office functions, company-owned locations and independently operated franchise sites. Operational responsibility for technology was high, while central control and consistent standards varied across the network. Support had grown around practical but informal workflows and direct communication channels, endpoint monitoring coverage was limited across a distributed device estate, and the business needed immediate day-to-day relief while governance, service design and longer-term strategy were still being built.
Outcome
Distributed franchise and company-owned network brought under one operating model
Read the case study
NumataOne
Security, governance and operational maturity for a growing technology company.
Industry
Technology and analytics company
Challenge
As the organisation scaled, leadership recognised technology had become a business enabler rather than an operational function. Governance was becoming increasingly complex, cyber threats continued to evolve, and business-critical systems needed stronger protection and resilience. Operational processes depended heavily on internal staff, risk management lacked structure and visibility, onboarding and offboarding were not standardised, and technology investments had no unified strategic framework. Continuing with disconnected systems and providers would have limited growth and increased risk.
Outcome
Structured, measurable governance aligned to organisational objectives
Read the case study
NumataOne
Modernised infrastructure and lower operational risk in a refinery environment.
Industry
Infrastructure and cyber modernisation
Challenge
Legacy network infrastructure limited visibility, manageability and future scalability across corporate IT, wireless, surveillance, access control and the connectivity between operational areas. Leadership had little assurance that security controls matched modern practice, and no continuous view of vulnerabilities. In a refinery, any technology disruption reaches beyond office users into security systems, operational monitoring and business-critical services, so resilience was a safety and continuity concern rather than an IT preference. Governance and compliance reporting also needed to improve, with evidence that technology risk was being actively managed.
Outcome
Modern, centrally managed network across corporate, wireless and security systems

What clients say

In their own words.

Attributions are anonymised where a transaction, carve-out or investor mandate makes naming the business inappropriate.

“The plan protected the users while the deal closed around us. When the TSA clock ran out we were already operating independently.”
