The Scope

iDirect came to Rejuvenate IT seeking a local IT provider capable of elevating their systems onto a more scalable and professional platform. Crucially, they needed a partner who could collaborate effectively with their internal Head of Information Technology, provide clear, jargon-free communication, and ensure that any technical changes were communicated promptly and understandably to users.

When the partnership began, iDirect was relying on Namesco IMAP email accounts and Box for file storage. These solutions had become limiting, both in scalability and professional functionality, especially for a growing organisation with unique operational needs and a largely remote workforce.

The Solution

Rejuvenate IT proposed a complete migration to the Microsoft 365 ecosystem to consolidate, modernise, and secure iDirect’s digital operations:

  • Email Migration: Transitioned all users from Namesco IMAP accounts to Microsoft Exchange Online, streamlining email communication and management.
  • File and Data Storage: Migrated files and collaboration workflows from Box to SharePoint and OneDrive, providing secure, cloud-based storage with easy remote access.
  • Device Management & Security: Enrolled and managed all staff devices via Microsoft Intune, enhanced with Microsoft Defender for advanced security. This allows central management and the ability to deploy applications and updates to remote tablets and computers used by staff supporting service users.

Throughout every phase, Rejuvenate IT prioritised clear communication—minimising technical jargon and closely coordinating with iDirect’s Head of Information Technology to ensure a seamless transition. The email migration, often a pain point in similar projects, was completed without issue, much to the pleasant surprise of the iDirect team.

The Results

With modern, scalable systems now in place, iDirect enjoys improved efficiency, streamlined workflows, and robust security. All devices are centrally managed, ensuring that staff working in the community have ongoing access to essential apps and data, with the reassurance that sensitive information is protected.

iDirect is now well-positioned to pursue Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications, further boosting trust with service users and stakeholders. The collaboration with Rejuvenate IT has not only modernised iDirect’s IT environment, but has also established a strong foundation for continued growth and digital transformation.

The Testimonial

“Rejuvenate IT stood out not because the migration itself was unusual, but because of how it was delivered. They took the time to understand a sector where trust, data sensitivity, and continuity of care are paramount, and they matched that understanding with genuine patience and onsite, hands-on support for a client that was new to cloud technology. This wasn’t a transactional project, it was a partnership led personally by a local business owner who was invested in our success. The results speak for themselves: in just 2 months, they migrated 55 user licenses and 60 shared mailboxes to Microsoft 365 with zero disruption to service delivery, and over the following months took our Microsoft Secure Score from 40 to 62, comfortably above the average of 48, while simultaneously guiding a technology-inexperienced, 10-year-old health and social care organisation through its first major cloud migration. That combination of measurable security improvement, sector understanding, and hands-on personal service is exactly what an MSP should represent.”
