Blackburne

Blackburne is one of Perth’s most recognised property groups, with a portfolio spanning residential development, property management, and commercial real estate across Western Australia. With a major headquarters relocation to Subiaco on the horizon, Blackburne needed to modernise their aging on-premise server infrastructure and move to a scalable cloud environment.

Epic IT designed and executed a strategic migration to Microsoft Azure, delivering a modern hybrid cloud environment timed to coincide with the new headquarters move. The result: a seamless transition with zero disruption, reduced infrastructure costs, and a platform built for growth.

Challenge

Aging on-premise server infrastructure

Their aging on-premise server infrastructure was increasingly unreliable and costly to maintain, and with a major headquarters relocation to Subiaco on the horizon, Blackburne needed to modernise their IT environment before the move rather than replicate outdated systems in a new building.

Solution

Strategic migration to Microsoft Azure

Epic IT designed and executed a strategic migration to Microsoft Azure, delivering a modern hybrid cloud environment timed to coincide with the Subiaco HQ relocation. The project included:

1. Azure hybrid cloud deployment — Migrated critical workloads from on-premise servers to Azure, retaining select local infrastructure where performance requirements demanded it

2. Microsoft 365 rollout — Deployed Microsoft 365 across the organisation for email, collaboration, and document management

3. Network design for new premises — Designed and implemented the complete network infrastructure for the new Subiaco headquarters

4. Business continuity planning — Ensured zero disruption to property management operations and client services throughout the migration and relocation

Success

Seamless transition to a scalable, hybrid cloud environment

Blackburne moved into their new Subiaco headquarters with a modern, scalable IT environment that eliminated the maintenance burden of aging on-premise servers. The hybrid cloud approach reduced infrastructure costs while improving reliability and enabling the team to work flexibly across office and remote locations — critical for a property group managing sites across the Perth metro area.
