SmartGeeks — we support, you succeed
§ Portfolio6 engagements

Work you can interrogate.

Client names stay confidential unless we have written permission. The scope, region and outcome of each engagement do not — so you can judge the work rather than the logo wall.

01Media & production

Post-production network and shared storage build

Johannesburg, South Africa · 2024

A 10GbE editing network with shared storage and predictable throughput for a multi-suite post house working to broadcast deadlines.

  • 10GbE core switching and structured cabling
  • Shared storage with project-level access control
  • Proxy workflow and archive tiering
  • Onsite technical support during delivery weeks
Outcome

Editors work from one shared media pool with consistent playback, and finished projects move to archive without manual copying.

02Professional services

Microsoft 365 migration for a professional services firm

Sandton, South Africa · 2024

Mailbox, file and identity migration from ageing on-premise servers to Microsoft 365, executed over consecutive weekends with no lost working days.

  • Mailbox and archive migration with staged cutover
  • SharePoint and OneDrive file structure design
  • Conditional access, MFA and device compliance
  • Staff onboarding sessions and first-week floor support
Outcome

The firm retired its server room, gained enforced multi-factor authentication and now works from any office or home without VPN friction.

03Retail & multi-site

Multi-site retail technology rollout

Gauteng & Western Cape · 2023

A standardised store technology build repeated across branches so every site opens with the same network, point-of-sale and support model.

  • Standard site design and equipment specification
  • Connectivity with automatic failover per store
  • Centralised monitoring and alerting
  • Store-level support runbook and escalation path
Outcome

New branches come online in days instead of weeks, and head office sees the status of every site from one dashboard.

04Corporate

Secure decommissioning and office relocation

Accra, Ghana · 2023

A controlled shutdown of legacy infrastructure with documented asset disposal and a clean rebuild at the new premises.

  • Asset register, tagging and chain-of-custody records
  • Data sanitisation and certified disposal
  • New-premises cabling, network and Wi-Fi build
  • Cutover plan with rollback checkpoints
Outcome

The relocation completed over one weekend with a full audit trail of every device retired, wiped or moved.

05Financial services

Managed IT and service desk onboarding

Johannesburg, South Africa · 2025

A full managed-services handover: monitored endpoints, patching, backup verification and an SLA-backed service desk.

  • Endpoint monitoring, patching and asset baseline
  • Backup design with restore testing
  • Ticketing, SLA tiers and monthly reporting
  • Quarterly technology review with leadership
Outcome

Repeat incidents dropped as root causes were fixed rather than re-logged, and backups are now proven by scheduled restores.

06Education & training

High-density campus Wi-Fi refresh

Pretoria, South Africa · 2024

A surveyed, high-density wireless design replacing patchwork access points across teaching and residence buildings.

  • Predictive and onsite wireless survey
  • Controller-based access point deployment
  • Segmented staff, student and guest networks
  • Handover documentation and heat maps
Outcome

Lecture venues hold full classes on wireless without drop-offs, and the network team can see coverage rather than guess at it.
