Introducing Aluline

Aluline is a Melbourne-based leader in architectural balustrade systems, specialising in high-quality glass, aluminium, and stainless steel products. With over 20 years of experience, the company serves both commercial and residential markets across Australia, offering proprietary systems and custom designs that meet stringent Australian Standards for structural integrity and glazing. Aluline's commitment to excellence has seen its products installed nationwide in thousands of homes, commercial buildings, and apartment complexes.

The Situation

Aluline had long relied on an office-based server to manage its business systems, an approach that suited the company well during earlier stages of growth. As the business evolved, the team began to look at ways to improve accessibility and simplify how data was managed daily. With a growing appetite for flexibility, especially around remote access and continuity, the company saw an opportunity to modernise its setup. Enhancements to backup processes and overall security were also areas identified for improvement as part of that shift.

Enter Simple Biz

Aluline engaged Simple Biz to lead the transition to a modern, cloud-based platform. After reviewing the company’s existing environment, Simple Biz migrated Aluline’s core systems to SharePoint Online, part of the Microsoft 365 cloud ecosystem. This enabled secure, anytime-anywhere access to business data and improved team collaboration.

The migration included automated backups, improved permission controls, and enterprise-grade security, giving Aluline a platform that would scale with the business. These improvements are now supported through Simple Biz’s Total Care service, which provides ongoing technical support, monitoring, and system maintenance.

The Outcomes

After migrating to SharePoint Online, Aluline now operates in a secure, resilient, and flexible IT environment that supports daily work and future growth. Microsoft’s cloud platform gives staff a trusted space to access and collaborate on documents with strong data protection and minimal downtime.
