Two WA engagements, told the way we would tell them on the call.
Industry, location and headcount band are real. Customer names are not — both engagements agreed to share the challenge, the work, and the outcome, on the understanding that what we kept private is what made the engagement useful to them in the first place. Read either as a worked example, or as the answer to “what does this actually look like for someone like us?”.
Two engagements
Pick the one that looks like your operation.
A Perth-metro practice under partner-driven confidentiality pressure, or a Pilbara operator with a rostered FIFO crew and links they cannot replace overnight. Different geography, same Perth-anchored standard.
Anonymised case study
A Perth-metro legal & accounting practice replaced a ticketed-only MSP with a Perth SOC + on-site engineer pairing — and cut their security incidents from one a month to none over the next 12.- Legal & accounting SMB
- Perth metro
- 25–40 staff
Squeezed between client confidentiality, partner-driven after-hours demand, and an existing MSP whose tickets stayed open longer with each renewal, the firm needed Perth-based eyes on the environment — not a national queue. We took over in a 30-day handover, replaced the per-ticket support model with a managed IT + SOC pairing, and wrote the partner-facing service standard into the engagement rather than the brochure.

Anonymised case study
A Pilbara iron-ore operator with a ~60-strong site roster moved from a Perth office of a national MSP to a Perth-only firm — and the difference showed up in the first FIFO visit window.- Iron-ore operator
- Pilbara (FIFO roster)
- ~60-strong site roster
A rostered Perth analyst reading every alert rather than a queue in another timezone. FIFO-capable engineers on a published rotation, replacement hardware staged at Jandakot so it goes out on the next swing without a Perth office detour. Detection tuned for satellite, LTE and microwave links rather than written for a CBD fibre run.

Both engagements are currently active — the outcomes below are measured against the quarter the work shipped, not the year after.
