Solutions+ SolutionSimoda designed and implemented a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade for CA Group.
We replaced outdated systems with a modern, scalable environment delivered through an OpEx‑based consumption‑as‑a‑service model. This approach gave CA Group greater flexibility, reduced capital expenditure, and ensured the resilience needed to support its technically advanced, multi‑company operations.
To further strengthen the IT foundation, Simoda deployed a resilient network backbone that increased the organisation’s ability to consume cloud services effectively and securely. Simoda then completed the full migration from legacy on‑premise software to the latest Microsoft 365 productivity stack – including Exchange, Teams and SharePoint, enabling seamless collaboration, improved remote working, and enhanced operational efficiency across all CA Group divisions.
