Rapid Expansion - GBA Projects
Calvert helps GBA manage rapid expansion, while building a sustainable competitive advantage
GBA Projects is one of Australia’s leading project management companies, with a focus on minimising risk and enhancing performance of complex developments.
Established in 1986, the company maintained a small team until a recent surge in growth saw them expand to 40 staff.
With many of their staff working remotely, GBA has a key requirement for mobility in their systems. The complex and changing nature of their work also means staff need to rapidly shift from client to client and are frequently seconded, demanding flexibility in infrastructure and consistency across hardware.
nitially, the GBA team had the technical skills to manage their IT in-house. This changed when their team grew from 12 to 30 staff within a space of six months.
They soon realised that they would need an IT partner who could quickly step in to support them; one who wouldn’t only meet their existing needs, but could strategically grow their technology in line with their business goals.
When GBA approached Calvert, we began with a session to understand the business – how they operated, their growth goals, and challenges they faced. We followed up with an audit to discover any existing technology we could leverage, and identify the gaps where they needed to invest.
With the GBA team experiencing the pressures of growth, we took care to make the process as straightforward as possible. We were clear about exactly what they needed, why, and the costs involved so that it was easy for them to make informed decisions.
As the ongoing IT partner for GBA Projects, we have been able to support them by proactively keeping their data safe, their operations efficient, their infrastructure up to date, and their team connected.
We also work with them closely to develop solutions for their specific project challenges, making it faster and more cost-effective for them to win more business and deliver exceptional results for their clients.
We were working incredibly hard trying to manage our expansion and had no time for developing our IT infrastructure. Calvert were clear from the outset exactly how they would help us and why, which made getting them on board the obvious decision.
We appreciated the fact that Calvert immediately focused on what we needed, enabling us to get our infrastructure sorted quickly and efficiently. Their clarity around costs also made it easy to budget for our new technology.
