Alzheimer
Society of
Ontario Client Success Story

About The Client

Founded in 1983, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario (ASO) is the province's leading care and research charity committed to helping people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. With a network of 27 Societies across Ontario, ASO offers programs and services for people living with dementia and fund research to find the cause and the cure for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

The Challenge

When the ASO approached IT Weapons, they were grappling with major challenges in their strategic IT roadmap:

  • Migrating from the ASO’s legacy IT setup to a newer, scalable IT infrastructure to enable users with better productivity
  • Amalgamating the ASO, AS Toronto, AS Canada branches into a unified Microsoft 365 tenant to enable central management of licenses, policies and standards
  • Bringing in multiple regional branches into the Microsoft 365 suite

As the regional branches had their internal IT teams working on different initiatives, bringing the right team together and communicating the unified approach was important. These complexities led to ASO exploring a strategic IT partner and subsequently signing a deal with IT Weapons.

"IT Weapons knows what we need to do before we even know it."

IT Project Manager
