How DJC Enabled Paragon Care to Scale Seamlessly with Cloud Expansion

Introducing Paragon

Paragon Care is a leading medical device and healthcare solutions provider, delivering high-quality equipment across Australia and New Zealand. With rapid expansion through acquisitions, Paragon needed a scalable, secure, and cost-effective IT infrastructure to support its growing ecosystem.

The Challenge

Paragon Care’s ambitious growth strategy involved frequent acquisitions, each bringing new IT environments. Many of these newly acquired businesses relied on legacy systems, outdated hardware, and fragmented IT processes—making integration complex and costly.

The previous owners prioritised financial performance over IT investment, leaving behind a patchwork of inconsistent security protocols, unreliable network infrastructure, and inefficient operations. As a result, Paragon faced:

High risk of operational disruption during IT transitions

Performance bottlenecks due to outdated infrastructure

Security vulnerabilities stemming from inconsistent governance

Soaring IT costs from inefficiencies and redundant systems

Paragon needed a repeatable and cost-effective cloud migration framework to integrate each new acquisition seamlessly without downtime or disruption to maintain operational efficiency, security, and scalability.

The Solution

As Paragon’s trusted IT partner, DJC developed a structured, scalable cloud migration framework to integrate every new acquisition smoothly into Microsoft Azure. This repeatable “cookie-cutter” process allowed Paragon to onboard businesses quickly while maintaining security, performance, and cost efficiency.

IT Environment Audit

A deep assessment of each acquired company’s infrastructure identified risks, inefficiencies, and key migration requirements, setting the stage for a smooth transition.

Cloud Migration Plan

The audit’s insights informed a tailored roadmap for each transition, ensuring a seamless shift to an Azure-based environment.

Azure Optimisation

Post-migration fine-tuning reduced costs, enhanced performance, and strengthened security, maximising the value of the new environment.

Ongoing Support

Each business was integrated into Paragon’s Business-as-Usual (BAU) model, ensuring long-term stability and operational efficiency.

The Results

With DJC’s proven migration and optimisation framework, Paragon Care achieved:

Faster integration with zero downtime

Newly acquired businesses were seamlessly onboarded, ensuring smooth transitions without disrupting operations.

Stronger system performance

Ageing infrastructure and sluggish networks were replaced with high-speed, optimised cloud environments, improving productivity across teams.

enhanced security and compliance

Standardised security protocols reduced risk, ensuring every business met industry best practices from day one.

Lower cloud costs, higher efficiency

On average, cloud expenses dropped by 25% per migration, cutting unnecessary spending while maximising performance.

Scalable IT that grows with the business

A repeatable, structured approach meant Paragon could acquire and integrate new businesses at scale without IT becoming a bottleneck.

DJC’s ability to move at our pace and seamlessly integrate newly acquired businesses into our ecosystem has been a game-changer. Their expertise in Azure and focus on cost optimisation meant we could expand without IT being a bottleneck. Every migration was smooth, efficient, and delivered real savings.
