Client: UK Government Department (Anonymised)

Challenge: Migrate complex, on-premise legacy systems to a secure cloud environment while adhering to stringent NCSC guidelines and maintaining 24/7 operational availability. The department faced outdated infrastructure, high maintenance costs, and increasing security vulnerabilities.

Solution: Najmi Services Ltd implemented a phased migration strategy to Microsoft Azure UK regions, utilizing a hybrid cloud approach for critical legacy applications. We deployed Azure Landing Zones with NCSC-aligned security controls, including Azure Firewall, Azure Security Center, and Azure Sentinel. Data encryption at rest and in transit was mandated, and a robust identity management solution using Azure AD was integrated. The project spanned 12 months, involving 15 Najmi Services engineers.

Outcome: Achieved 99.99% uptime for critical services, reducing operational costs by 25% within the first year. Enhanced security posture, evidenced by zero critical incidents post-migration and successful independent penetration tests. Improved data processing speeds by 40%, enabling faster public service delivery. The department now benefits from scalable, resilient, and highly secure cloud infrastructure, fully compliant with government security standards.

Client: Leading Financial Services Firm (Anonymised)

Challenge: Automate manual, paper-based approval workflows across multiple departments to improve efficiency, reduce human error, and accelerate decision-making. Existing processes were slow, costly, and lacked auditability, impacting regulatory compliance and employee productivity.

Solution: Najmi Services Ltd designed and developed a suite of custom applications using Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate. We integrated these solutions with the client's existing Microsoft 365 environment, including SharePoint and Teams. The solution automated expense approvals, HR onboarding, and contract management, incorporating digital signatures and a comprehensive audit trail. The project was completed in 6 months by a team of 8 Najmi Services developers.

Outcome: Reduced average approval times by 70%, from 5 days to 1.5 days. Eliminated 80% of paper-based processes, saving an estimated £50,000 annually in printing and administrative costs. Improved data accuracy by 95% and enhanced compliance through automated record-keeping and audit trails. Employee satisfaction increased due to streamlined workflows and intuitive user interfaces.
