Specialising in large-scale rail projects across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, Martinus Rail has grown from a small local team to a workforce of over 700 employees. This rapid expansion brought increased IT complexity and the need for a partner who could provide both operational support and strategic IT leadership.
Following the successful delivery of an ICT strategy and cost optimisation project, A1 Technologies was selected to provide ongoing Managed Services across Martinus Rail’s Microsoft 365, Azure, and SD-WAN environments.
Addressing Growth, Complexity, and Leadership Change
Martinus Rail faced a unique challenge when their long-term IT Manager departed during a period of substantial business growth. With a more complex IT environment and increasing governance and security needs, the company required an experienced partner to provide immediate technical support and long-term IT guidance.
A1 Technologies stepped in to deliver:
- Managed IT Services for Microsoft 365, Azure, and SD-WAN
- A collaborative support model working alongside Martinus Rail’s internal IT team
- Strategic IT advisory and consulting services to fill leadership-level gaps
This partnership enabled Martinus Rail to maintain operational continuity, strengthen security controls, and support their evolving IT strategy.
A Solution Built on Trust and Flexibility
A1 Technologies worked closely with Martinus Rail to deliver a solution that combined day-to-day support with high-level consulting. By managing core platforms like Microsoft 365 and Azure, A1 ensured system performance and reliability, while also enabling scalability to support Martinus’ expanding workforce. The relationship goes beyond transactional support—it’s built on collaboration and alignment with Martinus Rail’s business goals.
Through a collaborative model, A1 Technologies became an extension of the internal IT team, providing specialised expertise in IT governance, security, and infrastructure planning. The Managed Services agreement also includes strategic oversight to help Martinus navigate ongoing growth and digital transformation.
Governance, Security, and Strategic Advisory
Security and compliance are essential in large-scale infrastructure operations. A1 Technologies provided direction across data management, implemented robust cybersecurity measures, and supported Martinus Rail’s IT governance frameworks to ensure resilience and compliance.
The addition of strategic advisory services—including CTO-level consulting—ensured that the company’s IT operations could keep pace with the demands of growth while aligning with long-term organisational strategy.
“At A1 Technologies, we pride ourselves on being an extension of our clients’ teams. For Martinus Rail, that meant understanding their challenges inside and out and being available to step in whenever they needed us. It’s about building trust and delivering solutions that truly support their goals.”
– Clinton Shiels, Head of Solutions, A1 Technologies
The Outcome: Continuity and Confidence in IT
Through its Managed Services engagement with A1 Technologies, Martinus Rail has strengthened its IT operations, maintained business continuity, and minimised risks during a period of internal transition. With dedicated support and strategic guidance in place, the organisation is now equipped to scale confidently into new projects and regions.
The partnership ensures that Martinus Rail’s IT environment is not only secure and reliable but also strategically positioned to support the company’s future.
