Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)and Modern SharePoint for Content Management for Qhama Media
Qhama Media is a South African media and marketing agency offering branding, digital marketing, public relations, content creation and corporate printing. As a business driven by creativity and speed, Qhama Media relies heavily on collaboration, content reuse and consistent execution across teams and clients.
Liyatech delivered a Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online-based digital transformation platform for Qhama Media, providing an easy-to-use content and workflow management system. The solution improved the efficiency and consistency of operations, while making the best use of Microsoft 365 functionality.
“Liyatech gave us the expertise and technical foundation we needed, while empowering our teams to manage content independently. The solution has transformed how we operate and collaborate.”
– Nomfundo Makapela, Operations Manager, Qhama Media
Security by Design — Zero Trust
To protect creative assets and client data, our digital transformation approach was implemented
using a Zero Trust security framework, including:
o Conditional Access policies
o Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
o Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory)
o Data protection and governance controls
o Security was embedded seamlessly, allowing teams to work freely without increasing risk.
“We’re big advocates for keeping things simple. Our clients need to be able to maintain these platforms independently, and we follow best practices to ensure they can.”
– Prince Siboze, Operations Manager, Liyatech Solutions
Using Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online
As an existing Microsoft 365 user, SharePoint Online was the natural choice for Qhama Media’s content management and collaboration needs. However, they needed the right partner to unlock its full potential and align it with how their teams actually work.
Liyatech facilitated targeted workshops with key stakeholders to understand real business requirements — ensuring content is easy to find, always up to date, and simple to manage.
The result: a smart, intuitive, and scalable platform that empowers teams to work faster, stay aligned, and maximise the value of Microsoft 365.
These user stories informed the technical approach, showing how Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online could meet Qhama Media’s exact needs while remaining intuitive, low-maintenance, and modular.
“Liyatech’s digital transformation platform has completely changed how we manage and collaborate on our work. We now have a central, secure platform that supports our creativity and helps us move faster as a team. The solution was thoughtfully designed around how we actually work, and the support from Liyatech made the transition seamless.”
– Nomfundo Makapela, Operations Manager, Qhama Media
Proof of Concept
Following discovery and design, Liyatech built a small-scale proof-of concept to demonstrate how SharePoint Online could meet Qhama Media’s requirements.
“Including a proof-of-concept early in the project engages the right teams and builds momentum behind the solution.”
