Fujitsu PC Australia is part of a multinational group of companies that manufacture and market PCs. With ties back to Japan, Fujitsu is a leading company that places a strong emphasis on product and service excellence.
Fujitsu relocate to a new site
Fujitsu PC Australia was moving office and was facing considerable downtime by switching off / disconnecting its IT and telecommunications systems during its office relocation. There were doubts about the available hardware (servers, computers, etc) – in terms of components that could be reused, disposed of, upgraded or replaced. The company’s existing telecommunication systems were observed to be inefficient and inflexible.
Fujitsu approached Empower IT Solutions for assistance in their office re-location. This project involved assessing the existing infrastructure; planning the move, packing up the hardware, and finally reinstalling the various IT components at the new site. In addition to disconnecting-moving and reconnecting their hardware infrastructure; the Empower IT Solutions team installed a smart business phone system to replace their clunky and inefficient telecommunication system.
The benefits experienced by Fujitsu
Empower IT Solutions completed an equipment audit and identified the reusable and upgradeable components. New Switches, Routers and wireless access points were implemented as part of the relocated network infrastructure. The workstations were configured and connected to the new network. After configuring the internet, firewall and security services the Empower IT Solutions team also tested the connections to ensure faultless operations. Finally a professional grade phone system relying on Cisco handsets were installed along with VoIP communication gateways.
By engaging with Empower IT team Fujitsu was able to :
- Reutilise network components and maximise the lifespan of pre-existing hardware
- Replace weak/under-performing hardware with better suited infrastructure that delivered higher speed and more effective network connection
- Provide company staff with an advanced phone system that was able to handle a large volume of incoming calls from anywhere whether inside or outside.
Owing to the revised infrastructure and advanced communication system Fujitsu reportedly minimised staff downtime whilst experiencing overall increased productivity and efficiency.
