Being more productive and saving money on IT is even more crucial in the current economic climate. After upgrading to 24x7 support and rolling out a disaster recovery plan with the help of CodeBlue, the Auckland Chamber of Commerce has radically improved its IT support and security.
The Auckland Chamber of Commerce had been relying on a single contractor to provide its IT support. “I wouldn’t describe it as best practice,” says Daniel Manford, the Auckland Chamber of Commerce’s ICT manager.
“As we grew our organisation we felt we could get better value for money, drive productivity and get more out of our IT spend.”
Today the Chamber is reaping the rewards of its ongoing investment in technology with the support of infrastructure services provider CodeBlue.
Since CodeBlue came onboard as a strategic IT partner, it has undertaken a review of the Chamber’s infrastructure, put into action a comprehensive plan to improve overall
network performance, implemented a new server environment and applied best practice across its network.
Installing the new servers took place in mid-2008, and at the beginning of this year the Chamber rolled out CodeBlue’s disaster recovery plan and data backup service. They also implemented a state of the art secure content management system from Trend Micro. As a result, the Chamber is reaping a number of business benefits, the most significant being increased productivity as well as other savings.
“It also means less downtime and 24x7 support that’s more strategic and less reactive,”
says Manford.
