The relationship started in 2009, the year Evocate was founded, with custom SharePoint application development on the SharePoint on premises platform that Linfox was running at the time. That early work produced the foundations of Linfox’s Invoice Approval Platform (IAP) and FoxDocs document management system, both built and continuously evolved by Evocate over the following years. The Australian privately owned logistics group has been an Evocate client every year since. Across 17 years they’ve moved through three SharePoint generations, transitioned from on premises to cloud, and replaced their custom platforms multiple times, and Evocate has delivered each transition. The Modern Platform In 2025, Evocate completed the most significant transition in the relationship to date: migration of Linfox Property Group’s … ### Elbit Australia - Secure Defence Document Portal | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/elsa/ The Challenge Elbit Systems of Australia (ELSA), a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., serves the Australian Defence Forces across battle management, network systems, unmanned platforms, electronic warfare, and electro optical targeting. Their portfolio touches some of the most sensitive defence programs in the country. ELSA needed more than a standard intranet. They required an enterprise document management system capable of handling classified documents and submitting them to the Commonwealth of Australia (COA) through secure channels. The existing infrastructure relied on unstructured shared folders, a liability for an organisation handling defence grade information. The Solution Evocate delivered a purpose built Document Management System on SharePoint 2013 that replaced shared folders with a structured, browser based repository. The centrepiece: a custom classified document … ### Penske - 15-Year Microsoft Partnership | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/penske-relationship/ The Partnership Penske is one of Evocate’s longest running Microsoft delivery partnerships. The relationship spans 15+ years across Penske’s Australian, New Zealand, and Automotive divisions, and includes work across virtually every Microsoft platform Evocate delivers: SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Purview, Azure, and the Power Platform. What makes the Penske partnership distinctive isn’t its age. It’s the trajectory. Most long term consulting relationships taper off as the original projects complete. The opposite has happened with Penske: engagement has accelerated across recent years, with multiple major delivery streams running concurrently into 2026. The Work Across the partnership, Evocate has delivered: Penske’s SharePoint based intranet across 19 branches and 700+ staff (the original engagement that became one of our headline case … ### Penske Transport - 17TB Enterprise SharePoint Hub | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/penske/ The Challenge Penske Transport Group, a leading Australian distributor of diesel and gas engines and power systems for over 60 years, operates across 19 physical branches with 800+ staff. Their brand portfolio includes MTU, Detroit Diesel, Mercedes Benz, Allison Transmission, and Kohler Power Systems. The problem: enterprise resources were scattered across a complex array of file shares and ageing infrastructure. 17 terabytes of critical business documents lived in shared drives that couldn’t scale, couldn’t search, and couldn’t support the collaboration a national operation demands. What started as a request for an internal marketing portal quickly grew. After consulting with Evocate, Penske made the strategic decision to consolidate everything (intranet, extranet, and document management) onto a single, modern platform. The Solution Evocate designed and built TheHUB: … ### Rinnai Australia - Decade of Microsoft Delivery | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/rinnai/ The Partnership Rinnai Australia is one of Evocate’s longest sustained Microsoft platform partnerships, spanning more than a decade. Rinnai’s Australian operation is part of one of the most recognisable household appliance brands in the country, and behind the consumer brand sits a substantial Microsoft platform that Evocate has been supporting and developing throughout the relationship. The Work Across the partnership, Evocate has delivered: Continuous SharePoint platform support under a sustained SLA arrangement, including major multi year SLA engagements covering platform administration, custom development, and operational support SharePoint development sprints delivered in response to evolving business requirements Microsoft 365 licensing through Evocate’s CSP arrangement, providing Rinnai with consolidated licensing management alongside the platform support … ### EPA Victoria - SharePoint Modernisation Program | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/epa/ The Challenge Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA Victoria) is the state’s independent environmental regulator, responsible for pollution regulation under the Environment Protection Act. With 500 staff and regulatory authority that touches every Victorian business, EPA needs its digital workspace to work as hard as its people do. The reality was far from that. EPA’s SharePoint environment had accumulated across three technology generations: SharePoint 2007: legacy content and workflows SharePoint 2010: departmental sites and collaboration SharePoint 2013: the newest farm, partially deployed Project Server 2007: project management, running separately Four platforms. Three database generations (SQL 2005, 2008, 2012). A fragmented digital workspace where finding the right document meant knowing which era it lived in. EPA needed all of this consolidated into a single, … ### EACH - Decade-Long Microsoft Platform Delivery | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/each/ The Partnership EACH is one of Australia’s most established NDIS and community health providers, delivering disability support, mental health, and primary health services across a national footprint. Evocate has been EACH’s Microsoft platform partner since 2016, a decade long engagement that has spanned every major shift in EACH’s technology environment. The Work Across ten years of partnership, Evocate has delivered: The early platform (2016-2018) Continuous SharePoint SLA support providing dedicated capacity for platform development and operational support A custom SharePoint Invoice Form solution to replace manual invoice handling Workflow solutions for corporate document processing The migration of EACH’s SharePoint environment to SharePoint Online Integrations and modernisation (2019-2021) Discovery and integration work between Dynamics NAV (EACH’s … ### Basslink - 99.9999% Uptime Energy Bidding Platform | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/basslink/ The Challenge Basslink operates the electricity interconnector between Tasmania and Victoria, supporting Tasmania’s participation in the National Electricity Market (NEM). When power flows between two states and financial bids must reach the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) on time, every time. System failure isn’t an option. Basslink needed a purpose built bidding system that could: Automatically create and submit financial bids based on predefined schedules Self correct before submission in the event of unscheduled cable downtime Maintain 99.9999% uptime: less than five minutes of downtime per year Monitor waveforms with configurable alarms via SMS and email notifications Withstand pressure: operators bid during high stress market conditions Evocate had been working with Basslink for over five years. This was the kind of project where failure would be measured in … ### Asteria Services - Microsoft Platform Upgrade | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/asteria/ The Beginning Asteria Services engaged Evocate in 2019 with two needs: a modern intranet to replace fragmented internal communications, and a replacement for their legacy Dknet platform. Evocate delivered both: theHub intranet rolled out in 2019 alongside the Dknet replacement, and a sustained SharePoint SLA was established to support the new environment. What started as a discrete platform replacement has, over six years, become one of Evocate’s most comprehensive ongoing NFP partnerships. The Work Across the partnership, Evocate has delivered: Foundation (2019-2020) theHub intranet build, Asteria’s central employee communications and resources platform Full Dknet platform replacement SharePoint SLA covering ongoing platform support Microsoft Teams rollout across the organisation Platform consolidation (2022-2023) IT systems review and strategic planning sprint Multi sprint … ### MAACG - First Azure Migration in Healthcare | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/maacg/ The Challenge Medical & Aged Care Group (MAACG) is a family owned business managing 17 medical clinics and 5 nursing homes across Australia, with a $45M turnover. They had invested in a SharePoint based solution to manage their aged care operations, but it was stuck on ageing on premises servers that previous providers hadn’t been able to move. The core problem: MAACG’s SharePoint solution relied heavily on SharePoint Timer Jobs: custom server side business logic that simply doesn’t exist in SharePoint Online. Previous migration attempts by other vendors had failed because of this fundamental incompatibility. MAACG needed the solution moved to the cloud, the on premises servers eliminated, and the business logic preserved, with minimal disruption to operations across 22 healthcare facilities. The Solution Evocate, in direct consultation with Microsoft, delivered an … ### VMCH - Five-Year Microsoft Platform Modernisation | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/vmch/ The Engagement Vila Maria Catholic Homes (VMCH) is one of Victoria’s most established Catholic providers of aged care, disability services, and community services. Between 2018 and 2022, Evocate delivered a substantial Microsoft platform modernisation programme spanning 19 projects across SharePoint, Microsoft 365, and ongoing platform development. The five year engagement represents one of Evocate’s deeper aged care sector deliveries, covering the operational realities of running technology platforms across residential aged care facilities, retirement living communities, in home care services, and disability programmes simultaneously. The Work Across the partnership, Evocate delivered a sustained programme of platform development, SharePoint enhancement, and ongoing operational support. The work covered the full spectrum that a multi service aged care and community services … ### M3 Property - Custom SharePoint Business Platforms | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/m3/ The Partnership M3 Property engaged Evocate in 2016 for what started as a platform modernisation project. It became a five year, 43-project partnership that produced two custom built SharePoint platforms: MiSys and MiDocs, powering M3’s national property services operations. This is not a configuration story. This is a custom development story: platforms built from the ground up on SharePoint, continuously enhanced over years, and rolled out nationally. The Platforms MiSys: Operational System MiSys is M3’s operational backbone, a custom SharePoint platform managing property jobs, workflows, and operational data across the organisation. Built initially with QLD jobs functionality, then expanded nationally. MiDocs: Custom Document Management System MiDocs replaced M3’s legacy document management with a custom built SharePoint DMS featuring: Save and Search functionality … ### Skills Impact - Dynamics 365 Rebuild Program | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/skillsimpact/ The Challenge Skills Impact is the national Skills Service Organisation (SSO), funded by the Australian Government to support Industry Reference Committees in developing competency standards and qualifications for the VET sector. Their Dynamics CRM environment had been heavily customised by a previous vendor: 24 custom application modules that didn’t follow Dynamics 365’s development model. The entire system needed to be migrated from Dynamics CRM 2016 to Dynamics 365, but the non compliant custom code made a standard migration impossible. On top of the CRM, Skills Impact was running a patchwork of Excel spreadsheets, WordPress, and MailChimp, systems that needed to be consolidated. The Solution Evocate took ownership of the Dynamics environment and executed a structured migration: Sandbox environment setup: safe development and testing space Dynamics CRM 2016 → Dynamics 365 … ### Darkon - SharePoint on the Shop Floor | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/darkon/ The Challenge Darkon Architectural Lighting designs and manufactures custom architectural lighting products. Their production environment spans both office based engineering design and a physical shop floor, two worlds that needed to share information in real time. They needed a system that could monitor production costs, issue shop floor work instructions, manage Bills of Materials for both catalogue and custom products, handle composite assemblies from multiple sources, and track the full sales lifecycle from quote to delivery. The Solution Evocate built a custom SharePoint 2010 application that works across both office and shop floor environments, integrated with industrial grade rugged touchscreens: Bill of Materials management: engineers create reusable BOMs linked to 3D product representations Shop floor scheduling: predefined labour steps sent to operators who clock in/out of each … ### Social Research Centre - Custom Intranet Build | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/srcentre/ The Challenge The Social Research Centre provides the Australian social science research community with access to world class survey research services, covering survey design, data management, analytical, and qualitative skills across 400 staff. They needed an intranet with enterprise document management and a collaborative portal that was easy to modify. Research teams needed to control the look and feel of their project spaces without waiting for IT. The Solution Evocate delivered a custom built SharePoint 2013 intranet that replaced unstructured shared folders with a browser based document repository. The standout feature: all custom web parts are fully user editable via attachable JavaScript, HTML, and CSS files, giving teams direct control over their workspace presentation. Key capabilities delivered: Central project document management portal User editable web parts with … ### LinX Group - Modern Collaboration Platform | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/linx/ The Challenge LinX Australia Group needed to modernise their internal collaboration. Document management was fragmented, team communication lacked a central hub, and routine business workflows relied on manual processes that slowed operations across departments. The Solution Evocate designed and deployed a SharePoint Online platform integrated with Microsoft 365, creating a centralised collaboration hub. The rollout followed fortnightly iteration cycles, ensuring high user adoption with minimal disruption. Key capabilities delivered: Centralised document management across departments Team collaboration spaces with structured communication Automated business workflows replacing manual processes Comprehensive training programme for user adoption The Results Metric Outcome Document retrieval Faster access through centralised repository Collaboration Cross department communication hub Manual … ### Mendis - M&A Advisory and Enterprise Support | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/mendis/ The Challenge Mendis, an aesthetic clinic, needed strategic financial guidance to take the business to its next stage of growth. Beyond day to day accounting, they required M&A advisory to evaluate, negotiate, and close an acquisition deal, while maintaining operational focus on patient care. The Solution Evocate’s enterprise services team delivered a comprehensive engagement: SWOT analysis and business assessment Financial forecasting and review of historical results M&A negotiation: working alongside lawyers and third party valuers Ongoing enterprise support: monthly bookkeeping, payroll, tax compliance, and controllership The Results Metric Outcome M&A outcome Successful acquisition closed Business impact Additional capital secured for new equipment and services Ongoing support Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, tax compliance Client relationship Trusted long term … ### Mazda Australia - Secure Dealer SharePoint Access | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/mazda-australia/ The Challenge Mazda Australia needed its national dealer network to securely access resources in the Mazda SharePoint Online tenant, without adding dealers as tenant members. Granting tenant membership to external parties introduced unacceptable risk around data exposure, licensing cost, and identity management at scale. At the same time, Mazda was running legacy on premises SharePoint infrastructure that needed a clear migration path to SharePoint Online. What Evocate Delivered Over 6 to 9 weeks, Evocate designed and implemented a secure cross tenant access architecture: Cross tenant access configuration using Microsoft Entra ID B2B collaboration, enabling dealer identities to authenticate against Mazda’s SharePoint resources with scoped permissions, no tenant membership required Dynamic security groups that automatically classified dealer users by region, role, and access tier, … ### Perilya - 25TB Migration to Microsoft 365 | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/perilya/ The Challenge Perilya is an Australian listed base metals mining company with operations in Australia and the Dominican Republic. Years of growth and acquisition left the organisation with fragmented infrastructure: multiple file servers across sites, separate Microsoft 365 environments for different geographies, and Dominican Republic mailboxes disconnected from the Australian tenancy. Staff couldn’t find documents reliably, collaboration across continents was painful, and inconsistent environments created ongoing security and governance headaches. The scale was significant: three file servers totalling approximately 25 terabytes, 362 mailboxes, and the Perilya.com domain that needed unifying across a consolidated environment. What Evocate Delivered Evocate ran a 13-sprint engagement covering discovery through stabilisation: Cross geography discovery across Australian and … ### Engineering Consultancy - Copilot Proposal System | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/engineering-consultancy/ The Challenge A major Australian engineering consultancy regularly prepares complex technical proposals and bids for infrastructure projects. The proposal process was heavily manual: staff searched through thousands of CVs stored across fragmented tools, manually assembled case studies, tracked contracts in spreadsheets, and copy pasted content between documents. The process was slow, error prone, and didn’t scale. The organisation also had growing concerns about staff using uncontrolled third party AI tools to try to speed things up, creating data leakage and governance risk. They needed automation that handled proposal preparation, CV discovery, contract tracking, and case study generation, but kept all data inside the Microsoft 365 security boundary. What Evocate Delivered Evocate designed and deployed a phased AI enabled solution entirely within the client’s existing … ### TRUE Fitout - SharePoint Templates at Scale | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/true-fitout/ The Challenge TRUE Fitout and Construction was growing but its Microsoft environment wasn’t keeping pace. Each project manager set up their SharePoint site differently: ad hoc document libraries, inconsistent permissions, no standardised metadata. Project information was hard to find, governance was patchy, and the organisation couldn’t get a clear view across all active projects. What Evocate Delivered Evocate ran a discovery led engagement and delivered: Standardised SharePoint project site template with pre configured document libraries, metadata columns, permission models, and Power Automate workflows that launches consistently for every new project Permissions and governance design: role based access control aligned to TRUE’s organisational structure so project managers, site supervisors, and back office staff see only what they need Power Automate integration for … ### Penske - 12TB SharePoint Migration with Purview | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/penske-m365-migration/ The Challenge Following an earlier engagement where Evocate built Penske’s SharePoint based intranet across 19 branches and 700+ staff, Penske returned with a larger challenge: migrating approximately 12 terabytes of data from legacy environments to SharePoint Online across their Australia, New Zealand, and Automotive divisions, while implementing proper information governance from the start. The data volume was significant, but the real complexity lay in governing the migrated content correctly across multiple regulatory jurisdictions with sensitive operational and contractual data. What Evocate Delivered Evocate delivered the migration over 15 weeks: Multi entity discovery mapping data across Penske Australia, New Zealand, and Automotive to understand volume, sensitivity, ownership, and retention requirements Information architecture redesign for SharePoint Online rather than … ### Fvree - SharePoint Intranet and Docs Platform | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/fvree/ The Challenge Fvree is an Australian not for profit that lacked a professional intranet or document management system. Staff relied on email and shared drives for communication and document storage, creating version control issues, information silos, and governance gaps. The organisation needed a solution that was fast to deploy, simple to manage, and affordable within NFP budget constraints. What Evocate Delivered Evocate delivered both an intranet and document management system in parallel over 8 weeks: SharePoint intranet: a branded internal communications hub with company news, policy access, quick links, and team directories Document management system: structured SharePoint libraries with metadata tagging, version control, and search optimisation Power Automate workflows: automated document approval and notification processes Power BI dashboards: operational reporting tailored to … ### CAAC - theHub Intranet for Remote Healthcare Teams | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/caac/ The Challenge Central Australian Aboriginal Congress (CAAC) is one of the largest Aboriginal community controlled health services in the Northern Territory, delivering primary healthcare, public health programmes, and social support services across remote Central Australian communities. Staff work from clinics, community centres, and mobile service points spread across vast distances, many with limited connectivity. Critical policies, procedures, and organisational information weren’t reaching frontline clinical staff reliably. Communication depended on email, phone calls, and paper based processes that couldn’t scale across the geographic spread. What Evocate Delivered Evocate deployed two complementary solutions in under two months: theHub (Evocate SharePoint intranet): a branded SharePoint Hub site configured for CAAC’s organisational structure, providing centralised … ### Accord Appraisals - Microsoft 365 Platform Rollout | Evocate URL: https://www.evocate.com.au/case-studies/accord-appraisals/ The Challenge Accord Appraisals is a professional services firm specialising in property and asset appraisals. The business was running on ageing email infrastructure and disconnected file storage, with no centralised CRM, no intranet, and no structured document management. Client relationships were tracked in spreadsheets. Appraisal reports were stored across local drives and email attachments. There was no single place for staff to find company information or collaborate on engagements. What Evocate Delivered Evocate deployed a comprehensive Microsoft 365 environment covering multiple workloads: Exchange Online migration: approximately 10 mailboxes migrated from legacy email, including calendar, contacts, and archive data File migration to SharePoint: local and network file storage consolidated into structured SharePoint Online libraries theHub (Evocate intranet): branded intranet for … ## Industries - Microsoft Solutions for Banking & Lending | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/financial-services/banking-lending/ - DISP Accreditation Support & Microsoft Cloud for Defence | Evocate Australia — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/defence/disp-accreditation/ - Microsoft 365 & Cloud Consulting for Federal Government Australia | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/government/federal-agencies/ - Microsoft 365 & Cloud Technology for NDIS Providers Australia | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/healthcare/ndis-providers/ - Microsoft 365 & Cloud Technology for Remote Mining Operations Australia | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/mining-resources/remote-operations/ - Microsoft Solutions for Insurance & Superannuation | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/financial-services/insurance-superannuation/ - Microsoft 365 & Technology for Aged Care Providers Australia | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/healthcare/aged-care/ - Microsoft 365 & Cloud for State & Local Government Australia | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/industries/government/state-local/ ## Locations - Adelaide Microsoft Consultants | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/locations/adelaide/ - Brisbane Microsoft Consultants | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/locations/brisbane/ - Canberra Microsoft Consultants | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/locations/canberra/ - Melbourne Microsoft Consultants | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/locations/melbourne/ - Sydney Microsoft Consultants | Evocate — https://www.evocate.com.au/locations/sydney/ ## FAQ ### Services - Q: What services does Evocate provide?
