Stellar Projects is a multidisciplinary consultancy working across civil infrastructure, design engineering, and urban regeneration in New Zealand. As the organisation has grown, so too has its commitment to ensuring that internal systems reflect the high standards of its project delivery.
Recognising the importance of a technology platform that supports scale, security, and modern ways of working, Stellar Projects partnered with Fujifilm CodeBlue to enhance their Microsoft 365 environment - investing in tools that would support teams, clients, and future innovation.
As Stellar Projects expanded, the leadership team made a strategic decision to transition to a more robust and scalable information management system. The goal was simple: implement a platform that would support long‑term growth, strengthen governance, and enable efficient collaboration internally and with clients.
With an established relationship spanning more than six years, Stellar Projects turned to Fujifilm CodeBlue for guidance on modernising their environment using Microsoft 365.
SharePoint provides structured, permission‑based storage aligned with Stellar’s governance and security standards.
Teams can quickly locate project files, supporting smooth project delivery and collaboration.
Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTRs) give teams an easy, consistent, and modern meeting experience.
Microsoft SharePoint was selected as the foundation for Stellar Projects’ new document management strategy. It offered the structure and governance the business required, while still enabling the flexibility needed for project‑based consulting work.
The implementation involved co‑designing a new, streamlined file architecture and access model, ensuring teams had clarity around where information lives and how it should be used.
- Efficient document discovery: Staff can quickly find the information they need - an important improvement for a rapidly growing team.
- Clear version history and real‑time collaboration: Teams now work from consistent documents, reducing rework and improving accountability.
- Strengthened information governance: Permission‑based access ensures sensitive files are appropriately controlled.
- Improved client collaboration: SharePoint’s security and compatibility with corporate and government clients creates smoother project interactions.
Alongside the document management uplift, Stellar Projects also invested in Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTRs) to modernise their meeting spaces. The previous setup required manual workarounds that added time and complexity to hybrid meetings.
- Consistent plug‑and‑play functionality
- High‑quality audio and video
- Reliable experiences for both in‑room and remote attendees
This upgrade has improved staff engagement across regional offices and elevated the professionalism of external meetings.
Stellar Projects has evolved from a fast‑moving startup to a well‑established consultancy delivering major, high‑profile projects. Their investment in Microsoft 365 ensures their digital environment keeps pace with that evolution.
SharePoint now serves as a secure, structured backbone for information management, while Teams Rooms supports seamless collaboration - both internally and with clients.
These upgrades also position the business to explore emerging capabilities such as Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI‑driven productivity tools, with structured data and strong governance now in place.
By proactively modernising their systems, Stellar Projects has created a future‑ready digital environment that supports their teams, strengthens client confidence, and aligns with the high‑quality outcomes they are known for.
