Led the strategic uplift of Microsoft 365 and Power Platform capability at ANSTO, Australia's national science agency for nuclear technology. The engagement covered platform setup, governance, solution delivery, licensing optimisation and internal capability building, ensuring ANSTO maximised its Microsoft Cloud investment.

🎯 Project Objectives

Stand up Microsoft 365 and Power Platform environments meeting federal ISM and ANSTO security requirements. Deliver a prioritised roadmap of automation and workflow digitisation use cases, rationalise licensing to lift platform ROI, and equip ANSTO teams to build and maintain solutions under a governed framework.

🧩 Key Deliverables

Microsoft 365 tenant, Power Platform environments and DLP policies configured to federal ISM standards, with solutions delivered across Finance, HR and Research Services. Reusable patterns and templates for Power Apps and Power Automate, hybrid integration with SharePoint, Teams and on-prem data sources, plus a Centre of Excellence framework, playbooks and capability uplift sessions.

🔧 Technical & Delivery Approach

Modular low-code enterprise architecture delivered in agile sprints leading a six-person squad. Security and compliance by design, with ISM, WCAG and ANSTO data governance standards embedded from the start, and governed citizen development enabling business users to build safely.

🚀 Key Results

Environments stood up in under 6 months with 100% ISM/IRAP compliance achieved across the platform. More than 10 production-grade apps and workflows delivered, licensing rationalisation unlocked ongoing cost savings, and internal capability was uplifted across multiple business units, positioning ANSTO to scale its Microsoft Cloud adoption with confidence.
