Diabetes WA had complex business applications running on legacy hosted servers and networks and just wanted a simple solution that would tick all the boxes and allow them to run their business smoothy.

Solutions

An overview of the Diabetes WA system was undertaken. Our technicians decided the following was required to be undertaken:

05

Installation of Meraki cloud managed edge routers with VOCUS enterprise level internet connectivity

Implementation

Once Diabetes WA agreed on the proposed changes, they were implemented over the following phases:

Benefits

Achieved a monthly cost reduction of approximately $2,000 for low end hosted servers to zero after 18 months (based on up-front cost of on-premises servers)

A 2000% increase in network performance to the on-premises server (based on the original internet bandwidth of 40mb)

Achieved a greater than 25x internet bandwidth improvement to cloud services

A reduction in IT support costs for device installation and resetting

Improved cloud application selection when off-boarding from the on-premises server

Having been paying through the roof for a service we knew we needed but weren’t sure represented value for money. We were reluctant to switch suppliers but knew we had to make a change. Going from an initial review with IQPC with simplified strategies through to implementation, we decided it sounded logical and made the decision to go ahead. It has been the best decision, we are running much more efficiently, have limited and easy to fix issues and have saved money as well. It’s worth the initial audit to see what changes you need to make and what it can do for your business.
