ABOUT

About Us

kachihro was established in 2015, located in Melbourne to service customers in the local market, as well as Sydney and Brisbane.

We have always had a pride-in-our-work, with a care factor second-to-none. This extends from program code, to documentation, as well as participating in project teams, and workshops, or delivering training courses.

Of course, it's the outcomes that are the reason for any software or custom business software. And so, we talk with all levels of management and the user base to define the requirements and objectives for any solution.

It's then into the solution design and architecture, as well as systems integration, and configuration - followed by migration, support, documentation, training, and anything else that is required of a successful software project.

What We Do

Much more than just SharePoint, we work with Office 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Hub Sites and Planner, to plan for your new modern intranet & collaboration space/s.

It's a changing landscape of tools, software and platforms. We can help to understand the best use of the tools/platform that you've invested in.

We have worked extensively with many SharePoint platforms over the years, beginning with SharePoint 2003, and then 2007, 2010 and 2013, and now up to Office 365.

Members of kachihro are also involved in the local user group community (O365 meetup + conferences), and have previously been awarded as Microsoft MVP (2010-11).

Custom development using ASP.NET and C# development, as well as modern web frameworks such as REACT, SPFX and jQuery.

With the Microsoft cloud stack of tools, we have implemented a number of Azure and Office365 solutions, through integrations and cloud-architecture, as well as PowerShell.
Through the use of products such as Nintex and K2, as well as Microsoft PowerApps and Flow, we have developed a deep skillset related to business process automation.

Our founder Chris O'Connor was an author of the 'Professional K2 BlackPearl' reference book from Wrox, and was awarded as a K2 Insider waay back in 2009.
Following on from the deep application knowledge of SharePoint, we have expertise with infrastructure and platform services, including PowerShell, and configurations of Service Apps, Search, upgrades, migrations and so forth.

We have developed a SharePoint health check service, highlighting any server/farm issues - see our PRODUCTS page for more information on SPFarmHard.
