About customer
A large financial-sector organization developing payment infrastructure and digital services in Kazakhstan. System resilience, secure collaboration, and controlled access to corporate data are critical to its day-to-day operations.
Challenges and solutions
A predominantly on-premises infrastructure limited collaboration and slowed the rollout of new digital services. At the same time, cloud adoption had to meet strict requirements for data storage and processing, access management, and financial information security.
Awara IT implemented a hybrid Microsoft 365 environment connecting cloud and on-premises services. The solution included Microsoft Teams, Exchange Hybrid, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft Defender. Multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, and centralized security policies were also introduced. Awara IT delivered training for both administrators and end users.
Results
The organization gained a modern platform for secure collaboration and centralized access management. The hybrid model reduced dependence on local infrastructure, simplified administration, and accelerated the rollout of new workplace services. It also established the technical and governance foundation required for Microsoft 365 Copilot and further AI adoption.
