What we do
Every engagement is led hands-on by a principal architect. We work across strategy, platform and people, so the technology you invest in actually gets used.
Practical AI wired into your systems and workflows. We integrate xAI Grok, OpenAI and Azure AI models with your data, SharePoint and line-of-business apps, with the governance to run them safely. We have already delivered a Grok-powered event management platform for a client.
Readiness, data hygiene, licensing, rollout and calibration for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot in Power BI, followed by the adoption program that turns licences into everyday productivity.
Semantic models, executive dashboards and Fabric pipelines that give leaders one trusted view of performance, made Copilot-ready with natural-language Q&A and verified answers.
Cloud cost governance, commercial models and finance reporting. We make technology spend visible, accountable and tied to business value, from Azure and AWS consumption to the boardroom dashboard.
Information architecture, intranets, customer portals and collaboration that people actually use. Provisioned with PnP PowerShell and structured so Copilot can find the right content.
Power Automate flows, custom connectors and Python/FastAPI services that remove manual effort, integrating ITSM, CRM and RMM platforms such as Halo PSA, HubSpot and Datto.
Bespoke platforms, APIs and portals engineered on Azure: containerised services, secure integrations and well-architected foundations designed to scale with you.
Target-state architecture, roadmaps and designs for mission-critical systems, from hybrid infrastructure to Microsoft cloud. Pragmatic, documented and aligned to standards such as the PSPF.
Azure and AWS migrations, Citrix to Azure Virtual Desktop and data centre exits, including recovery of stalled, high-risk programs against hard deadlines.
An experienced Head of Technology and Cloud Practice Manager on your side of the table, part-time or interim. We set strategy, govern vendors, lead teams and guide AI investment without the cost of a full-time executive.
How we work
One integrated workflow from first conversation to embedded capability. No gaps between strategy, design and delivery, and no value lost in hand-offs.
Readiness across your people, data, platforms and licensing. We find where AI and automation create real value, and quantify cost, effort and return before anything gets built.
Target architecture, data models and a focused proof of concept built to prove business value, not just technical capability.
Hands-on implementation by senior engineers: integrations, dashboards, automations and AI configuration, tested with your users and deployed to production.
Knowledge transfer, calibration and adoption support, then measurement against the original business case and a roadmap for what comes next.
AI spotlight
Most organisations are still experimenting with AI. We help you move past that. We pick the right model for the job, connect it to clean, well-structured data and wrap it in the governance your board expects.
Track record
A selection of AdoptIQ engagements and programs led by our founder across two decades of enterprise delivery.
We designed and built a member event platform with xAI Grok at its core. Members buy tickets in the app with integrated payments, choose an arrival time and carry their tickets in a digital wallet. At the venue, QR codes are scanned at the door for access control and instant entry. A live floor view shows who has checked in, and member-card scanning, in-app messaging, invitations and event notices keep the night connected.
We designed a unified semantic model over the client's ERP data in Microsoft Fabric and delivered executive, store and customer and product-group dashboards, with budget variance, margin drill-downs and Copilot natural-language querying with verified answers. A follow-on engagement tidied up the first release and calibrated Copilot performance.
Took technical lead on a high-risk program and migrated customers from a legacy Windows Server 2016 Citrix farm to Azure Virtual Desktop ahead of strict licensing deadlines, protecting business continuity.
Combined SharePoint, Power Automate and LLM technology to analyse change information, automate workflows and lift governance and consistency. Also automated customer as-built documentation and ITSM integrations.
Led specialised Power BI and Fabric dashboards with automated reporting built on SharePoint, Power Automate and DAX, delivering accurate, customised utilisation insight.
Established a practical environment for teams to experiment with LLMs and enterprise AI use cases, accelerating AI awareness and adoption across the business.
Built a SharePoint and Power BI Cloud CoE portal that reduced deployment time, secured the AWS Well-Architected competency and launched AWS and Azure Marketplace solutions that opened new revenue streams.
Designed the solution architecture for emergency call routing and systems integration on enterprise contact-centre telephony platforms: resilient architecture where downtime is not an option.
Created a per-device commercial model for 1,000+ devices, letting a major superannuation fund consume managed services on a pay-as-you-go basis and move workloads to public cloud.
Re-architected backup and recovery and moved physical servers to VMware virtualisation, cutting recovery time sixfold.
Redeveloped the technology landscape, SQL Server data warehouse and wireless infrastructure for a new long-haul aircraft introduction, and delivered one of Australia's first Skype for Business (Lync) enterprise voice deployments.
Founder & Principal Architect
About AdoptIQ
AdoptIQ was born from 25 years of IT and digital transformation, and from frustration at how slowly most organisations move on AI. Leaders know it matters but struggle to know where to start or how to prove its value. We bridge that gap.
Our founder, Chris, has led technology across government, emergency services, superannuation and financial services, aviation, energy and utilities, mining, transport and global technology providers. He has run cloud practices and engineering teams, recovered distressed programs and designed systems where failure isn't an option. Clients rely on him when projects stall, platforms need modernising or a clear direction is needed. He is pragmatic, calm under pressure and relentlessly delivery focused.
