Keeping yesterday’s systems alive,
and building what comes next.

JSTAU Systems is a small consultancy in regional Victoria. We support the document management systems most firms have quietly forgotten how to maintain — ZyLAB, INVU, ageing SharePoint estates — and we build the bespoke software and AI tooling that lets those archives keep earning their keep.

Section II

What we keep on the shelf — an index of services.

01

Legacy DMS Support

ZyLAB, INVU, and the long tail

Triage, migration planning, day-to-day support and break/fix for document management systems whose original vendors have moved on. We read the manual so you don’t have to.

p. 012
02

SharePoint & Microsoft 365

Implementation, taxonomy, sanity

New SharePoint builds, tenant clean-ups, retention policy work, and migrations off legacy DMS into a SharePoint estate you can actually govern.

p. 016
03

Bespoke Development

Tools made for one workplace

Internal apps, document workflows, integrations between the systems already running your business. Built deliberately, documented properly, handed over clean.

p. 020
04

AI Consulting & Integration

Useful, measurable, no theatre

Document classification, retrieval over your own archives, drafting assistants. We help you work out which AI investments are worth making — and which are a distraction.

p. 024
05

Technology Advisory

A second pair of eyes

Independent advice for owners and IT managers — vendor selection, risk reviews, roadmap work. By the hour or by retainer.

p. 028

The legacy desk

Most of our work begins where someone else’s documentation ends.

We’re one of a small number of practices that still actively support these systems in Australia. If you’re running one, we can help you keep it healthy, migrate off it carefully, or live with it for a while longer.

Section IV — On the practice

A small practice, run by hand.

SECTORS — a partial list
Independent. Australian-owned.
Quiet. Patient. Documented.
By project or by retainer.

JSTAU Systems was started because somebody had to keep answering the phone when a ZyLAB index broke at 4pm on a Friday.

Most consultancies are uninterested in the systems we specialise in — they’re too small, too old, or too awkward. We think that’s precisely where the most useful work happens. The same care extends to the new things we build: SharePoint estates that make sense, bespoke tools that age well, AI integrations that earn their keep.

We work across the country and across sectors — the systems are usually older than the staff, and the files are rarely something anyone wants to lose.
