Case Study: Oilfield Solutions achieves scalable cloud collaboration and major IT cost savings with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Energy industry service provider extracts maximum value from the cloud

Oilfield Solutions (OFS) is an Ireland-based energy industry service provider that supplies training, equipment and specialist personnel worldwide. With a mixed workforce of full-time and contract staff and frequent headcount spikes, OFS faced complex licensing needs, fragmented collaboration across time zones, aging on-premises hardware, and a pressing need for secure, flexible IT that could scale quickly.

Working with Microsoft partner EMIT, OFS migrated to a cloud-first stack—Azure, Office 365 (Enterprise and Business Premium), SharePoint Online, Teams and Dynamics 365/CRM—building a bespoke HR/recruitment portal and adopting flexible license allocation. The result: IT support costs fell to about 20% of their former budget, onboarding time halved, roughly $100,000 saved in recruiting, faster project collaboration and device recovery, improved security and visibility, and an IT team now focused on building business solutions rather than firefighting.
