Case Study: Decmil achieves agile remote collaboration with Microsoft cloud solutions

Decmil no longer finds distance a disadvantage with cloud

Decmil, an Australian engineering and construction company, faced significant challenges due to its remote workforce and reliance on paper-based systems. These inefficiencies in collaboration, data logging, and access to critical documents hindered productivity across its far-flung mining and resource project sites. To overcome this, Decmil partnered with Microsoft Corporation to implement a cloud-based solution using Dynamics 365 for Sales, Office 365, and Microsoft Azure.

The solution implemented by Microsoft centralized data and enabled real-time collaboration through a suite of mobile apps and cloud services. This allowed remote employees to access documents, update forms, and sync data seamlessly from any location. The results were substantial, including a more agile and safer workforce, the elimination of daily courier runs saving hundreds of kilometers in travel, and a streamlined, paperless operation. Microsoft's technology gave employees time back in their day and provided full transparency through digital audit trails.
