Slow Internet Speed And Limited Connectivity Between Your Business Locations Can Take A Toll On Your Productivity.

For Kids Matters, slow internet speed impacted on every aspect of their daily operations. The organisation were paying for expensive phone and internet, while getting little value for money.

Find out how we saved Kids Matters time and money, with fast and reliable internet and server solutions. The organisation can share data securely between their offices and transfer their phone calls; even between three Brisbane offices.

Need Fast And Reliable Communication Solutions For Your Business?

Our Assessment: Kids Matters

  • Limited communications between their three Brisbane offices hindered operational efficiency. The organisation needed solutions that would allow them to share data securely between offices.
  • The organisation had a slow local server and needed an efficient way to back up emails.
  • Phone and internet costs were expensive and offered few benefits. Kids Matters needed phone and internet services that offered improved value for money.
  • Telephone calls could not be transferred between offices and this resulted in limited internal communications.
  • The organisation relied on traditional communication systems, including phone and fax, and needed to upgrade to VOIP digital solutions.
  • Slow internet speed impacted every aspect of their daily operations.
  • Security concerns hindered the organisation from utilising the benefits of cloud-based solutions.

How We Helped

 

Improved Communication & Faster Decision Making:

The outdated telephone system was moved to 3CX VOIP and Skype for Business. Instant messaging and video conferencing between the offices enables fast decision-making and effective communication between the team.

Data is automatically backed up using secure cloud based solutions. The organisation is now able to share documents between offices, with files stored safely online. There’s no lost data or disasters, with the safeguard of archiving and version control.
