Accessability

Accessability is a Western Australian not-for-profit providing disability support services across Perth and the Wheatbelt region. With staff and clients spread across regional locations, their on-premise server infrastructure was struggling to support a geographically dispersed workforce — and NDIS compliance requirements demanded better data security and accessibility.

Epic IT designed a cloud migration that addressed both the technical and budgetary realities of a regional not-for-profit, deploying Microsoft 365 with nonprofit licensing to connect Perth and Wheatbelt teams on a single, secure platform.
