Paarl
Paarl’s economy runs on farms, wine estates, light industry and a dense network of trades and professional services. These businesses often outgrew their original IT years ago: one shared password, an ageing file server and email that belongs to whoever set it up.

Local concerns
What actually keeps owners up at night
Legacy file servers and Server 2016
Paarl still has many small server rooms running Windows Server 2016 for shared drives and legacy farm or wine-trade software. With extended support ending 12 January 2027, our fixed-fee Exit Assessment maps the realistic options — upgrade, move to Microsoft 365 file services, or Extended Security Updates via Azure Arc as a bridge.
Shared logins and ex-employee accounts
The classic farm-office problem: one login for the packhouse PC, five people using it, and three former employees who still technically can get in. We move everyone to named Entra ID accounts with MFA, Intune-manage the devices and close the gaps audit by audit.
Connectivity at outposts
Gatehouses, pumps and remote blocks need dependable connectivity for cameras, sensors and stock control. We design point-to-point Wi-Fi and LTE/5G failover links sized to the distance and the terrain, with alerting when a link drops.
Seasonal workers, again
Harvest brings dozens of short-term contracts. We set up lightweight accounts with exactly the access each role needs, licence them in Microsoft 365 without over-buying, and switch everything off on the last day — which is also good POPIA practice.
The service mix that fits Paarl
Paarl clients commonly pair managed IT with a Windows Server 2016 exit plan and Microsoft 365 clean-up (email, Teams, SharePoint replacing the old file server). Trades and professional firms take Essential or Secure tiers.
