Case Study: The Herjavec Group achieves scalable growth and avoids costly IT hires with Microsoft Office 365

Fast-Growing IT System Integrator Keeps Focus on Business with Cloud-Based Tools

The Herjavec Group (THG), one of Canada’s fastest-growing IT security firms, faced strained internal resources after a recent acquisition added 44 employees. Its on‑premise Exchange system was at capacity, and upgrading would have required roughly $100K plus a full‑time specialist—so THG sought a cloud solution that wouldn’t require extensive retraining or distract engineers from revenue-generating work.

THG chose Microsoft Office 365 for its familiarity, scalability, and integrated Exchange/SharePoint/Lync services. The move eliminated the costly hardware upgrade and extra hire, required little administration, scaled easily for new users, and delivered a smooth user transition—freeing IT staff to focus on core services and positioning THG to absorb future acquisitions with minimal IT overhead.
