Selected case studies.

Each case study below follows the same plain-English structure: the problem, what we did, the measurable outcome, and the services involved.

Case 01

From break/fix chaos to predictable IT.

Industry: Professional services
Size: 45 staff
Region: Sydney CBD
Engagement: 18 months
The challenge

A 45-staff legal firm was juggling three IT vendors, with critical tickets averaging 3-day response times. Outages were frequent, M365 was poorly configured, and the partners had lost confidence in IT entirely.

What we did

Consolidated to AA Network managed IT over a 30-day onboarding. Rebuilt M365 tenant with Essential 8 alignment. Deployed Intune for device management. Documented every system. Established named primary engineer and quarterly business reviews.

The outcome

Sub-15-minute critical response time. 40% reduction in IT incidents over six months. Single monthly invoice replacing three vendor relationships. Partners now use IT as a strategic asset, not a recurring frustration.

Managed IT Consulting Training
"For the first time in five years, IT isn’t a recurring agenda item at our partners’ meetings. It just works."

— Managing Partner, Sydney legal firm

Case 02

Resourcing through peak load.

Industry: Construction
Size: 320 staff
Region: National, HQ in NSW
Engagement: 6 months
The challenge

A national construction firm won a major government infrastructure contract and needed to onboard 120 new site managers and engineers in 90 days. Their internal IT team had capacity for half of that.

What we did

Embedded two AA Network Level 2 engineers for six months under their internal IT manager. Built a repeatable site-manager onboarding playbook with documented checklists. Provisioned 120 devices, accounts, and access policies on schedule.

The outcome

120 new starters onboarded with zero access delays. The onboarding playbook now runs entirely in-house — they kept the process, returned the resources. Internal IT team capacity preserved for the next major project.

Resourcing Training Consulting
"They gave us capacity when we needed it, then handed us a permanent capability we kept. Best possible outcome from a resourcing engagement."

— IT Manager, national construction firm

Case 03

An M365 rollout people actually used.

Industry: Not-for-profit
Size: 85 staff
Region: Sydney metro
Engagement: 4 months
The challenge

A Sydney-based NFP had completed an M365 migration nine months earlier with another vendor. Adoption was effectively zero — staff still emailed documents, used personal Dropbox, and avoided Teams entirely.

What we did

Reset the M365 environment around three core workflows the team actually used. Ran six one-hour training sessions tailored to roles, not features. Set up "office hours" for the first month. Tracked adoption metrics weekly.

The outcome

Active M365 usage went from 12% to 84% of staff within 60 days. Dropbox shadow IT eliminated. Document collaboration time reduced from "day-long email threads" to real-time. ROI on the original M365 investment finally realised.

Training Consulting Support
"Other people had given us licences. AA Network gave us adoption — which is what we actually paid for."

— Operations Director, Sydney NFP

Tell us about it. We’ll be honest about whether we can help, how long it would take, and roughly what it would cost.
