Microsoft Licensing Audit & Compliance

A regional real‑estate network faced an unexpected Microsoft licensing audit. Daily use of Microsoft products had grown over time without full visibility of licensing models, historical purchases and rights of use. I provided end‑to‑end support: discovery across offices, reconciliation of deployments vs. entitlements, review of legacy contracts/OEM keys/renewals, a clear compliance report for management, liaison with the audit representatives, and a practical remediation plan with a simplified, cost‑effective licensing approach. Outcome: avoided unnecessary penalties, restored clarity and reduced future admin overhead.

IT Audit for a Regional Occupational Health Group

A regional occupational health organisation was struggling with outdated systems, unclear IT costs and no visibility. I delivered an independent audit, exposing root issues across workstations, infrastructure, processes and contracts. A phased modernisation plan followed, cutting login times from 10–15 minutes to seconds, reducing unnecessary spend, and restoring IT governance.

Cable Management & Infrastructure Tidying: One-Day Turnaround

A mid-sized printing company faced recurring network issues and slow interventions due to years of unmanaged cabling: inconsistent labelling, mixed patch standards, and cluttered server racks. Brought in as hands‑on technical reinforcement, I did not replace hardware. I restored order: reorganised racks, re‑labelled core links, standardised patching, removed unsafe/abandoned cables, and documented everything. In one day, engineers (telecoms and systems) could troubleshoot confidently, reduce accidental outage risk, and the management team regained control—without major capital spend, just method, structure, and attention to detail.
