Tammy Stringer, Office Manager, DJ Stringer Real EstateDJ Stringer Real Estate is a Coolangatta agency with a team of about 30 real estate professionals at the time of Microsoft’s profile. GCIT has looked after their IT since 2015.
In 2019 Microsoft selected GCIT to profile some of our cloud security deployments, and DJ Stringer Real Estate was one of them. Microsoft works with tens of thousands of partners around the world, so having a client success story chosen for a global platform is something we are proud of.
On enhancing security while simplifying operations: “That’s the beauty of Microsoft 365. We’ve added numerous security layers and prevented the sort of issues we’d seen impact our competitors, while simultaneously simplifying and unifying our own operations.”
On data protection: “Thanks to BitLocker, if a would-be data thief got their hands on the hard drive from one of our new workstations, all they would find is encrypted, illegible files. To gain access, they’d need current, employee-specific login information too, all of which we can quickly change remotely.”
