MGC Civil is a Perth-based civil construction company delivering infrastructure projects across Western Australia. Their previous third-party hosted Remote Desktop solution was underperforming — slow response times, frequent disconnections, and poor user experience were impacting project teams in the field and the office.
Epic IT replaced the underperforming RDP solution with a purpose-built cloud environment and deployed Microsoft SharePoint for project document management, alongside managed cybersecurity aligned to construction industry requirements. The result: reliable performance, fast document access, and a security posture that meets principal contractor expectations.

MGC Civil also needed a modern document management platform to replace scattered file shares
MGC Civil had previously invested in a third-party hosted Remote Desktop (RDP) cloud solution that was underperforming — delivering slow response times, frequent disconnections, and poor user experience that was impacting project team productivity. The RDP provider’s costs were escalating without corresponding improvements in service quality.
MGC Civil also needed a modern document management platform to replace scattered file shares, ensuring construction drawings, project documentation, and compliance records were centrally managed and accessible from both office and site locations.
Our Microsoft SharePoint consultants recommended a SharePoint implementation.
Epic IT replaced the underperforming RDP solution with a purpose-built cloud environment and modern collaboration platform:
1. RDP replacement — Migrated away from the third-party hosted desktop solution to a properly architected cloud environment, eliminating the performance and reliability issues
2. SharePoint Online deployment — Designed and implemented a custom SharePoint Online platform for centralised document management, with libraries structured around project workflows and compliance requirements
3. Cybersecurity uplift — Implemented managed security services including endpoint protection, access controls, and security monitoring to protect sensitive project and contract data
4. Cost optimisation — Consolidated IT spending across fewer, more effective platforms, delivering over 50% reduction in cloud infrastructure costs compared to the previous RDP provider
High-performance cloud platform that has eliminated the frustrations of their previous RDP solution
MGC Civil now operates on a reliable, high-performance cloud platform that has eliminated the frustrations of their previous RDP solution. The SharePoint implementation gives project teams fast access to documents from any location, while the security uplift protects the sensitive project data that construction contractors are increasingly required to safeguard. The consolidated approach delivered a cost reduction of over 50% compared to the previous provider.
