| St Margaret's Anglican Girls School is an independent day and boarding school located near Brisbane, Australia. It has about 860 students aged between 5 and 18.

However, the existing portal was unstable, it was inaccessible to third-party vendors and IT staff required external support if they wanted to make new internal applications available. In 2008, the school's gateway failed completely. Within a matter of days, Data#3 had installed and configured Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway 2007 as a temporary solution, restoring remote access to off-site parents, staff and students.
