Southerly Ten needed a solid office IT foundation to support rapid growth in the offshore wind sector. Comans delivered a secure, cloud-first setup that just works.

Client

Southerly Ten

Timeline

Planning: 2 weeks. Delivery: 1 week.

Key Tooling

Microsoft 365 | SharePoint | Intune | Cisco Meraki

Outcome

Smooth onboarding for new staff, with zero-touch device provisioning.

Challenge

  • Headcount was growing quickly, so manual laptop setups were not going to scale.
  • Needed a secure, compliant way to manage documents and devices from day one.
  • No internal IT team, so they needed a partner to handle it end to end.

What we did

  • Deployed Microsoft 365 Business Premium for strong security features (MFA, Defender).
  • Configured Microsoft Intune (Autopilot) so laptops could ship directly to staff and set themselves up.
  • Set up SharePoint Online for structured, document storage with backups, replacing scattered local files.
  • Installed Cisco Meraki networking for reliable office Wi-Fi, ready for SD-WAN if needed.

Outcome

  • New starters are productive within minutes of unboxing their laptop.
  • Data is secured and meets offshore wind industry expectations.
  • Comans provides ongoing helpdesk support.
“Comans just handled it. Ideally, IT is invisible and just works. That’s exactly what we got.”
