“What I appreciate most is that I’m not just fixing things anymore. We’ve got structure, we’ve got support, and we’ve got a plan. I know we’re protected, I know where we’re heading, and I know I’ve got the right people helping us get there.”
– Susan, Head of Partnerships & Operations, Collaboration for Impact
The Challenge
When Susan from Collaboration for Impact reached out, their tech environment had grown messy over time. They were using Google Workspace, a collection of standalone tools, and ad-hoc platforms that didn’t integrate. This made everyday work more difficult, slowed things down, and increased risk—especially when key people were away.
They needed a solid IT Strategy to clean things up, simplify the day-to-day, and give the team more confidence in how things were managed.
The Solution
IronSights took a hands-on approach to streamline systems, reduce risk, and provide reliable support with a strategic lens.
Migration to Microsoft 365
We transitioned CFI from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, bringing email, document storage, meetings, and collaboration into one secure and consistent platform. This gave their team a more integrated experience and instantly made things easier.
Application Rationalisation & Cost Savings
We reviewed their software stack, removed redundancies, and helped consolidate apps into Microsoft-native tools like Teams, SharePoint, and Planner. That cleanup not only reduced clutter—it also cut down on subscriptions and saved costs.
Managed IT Support + Virtual IT Manager
CFI now has access to fast, friendly support whenever staff need help. For Susan, our v-IT Manager service provides a consistent strategic partner who understands their environment, plans ahead, and reduces key person risk without needing to hire internally.
Cyber Security Advisory
Instead of just installing tools and hoping for the best, IronSights works with CFI on a cyber security journey—providing tailored advice, identifying priorities, and delivering training that actually fits how not-for-profits work. It’s proactive, not just reactive.
The Results
- Unified tools into a single Microsoft 365 ecosystem
- Reduced tech complexity and subscription costs
- Fast, reliable IT support now available to all staff
- Cyber risks reduced with tailored training and strategic advice
- Leadership regained confidence with a clear IT roadmap and support
What's next?
IronSights continues to work alongside CFI on their IT strategy. From improving cyber maturity to helping guide future digital decisions, we’re there to ensure tech is an enabler—not a barrier.
