Canterbury League’s Infrastructure Vastly Improves With New Era Solutions

Founded in 1957, this multi-faceted entertainment and leisure venue in Belmore, Sydney has over 45,000 members and approx. $80M consolidated revenue.

Challenge 

The club’s legacy IT infrastructure was restricted in its capacity to support both its daily operations and future business growth objectives.

Solution

After a comprehensive audit of the club’s existing network infrastructure, New Era set about designing and implementing a customised, scalable and fully managed virtual IT environment..

Process

The solution involved consolidating the club’s existing on-site infrastructure to eliminate inefficient and under-utilised hardware that was costing the business time and money.

The move to virtual servers created immediate cost efficiencies and provided the flexibility and scalability Canterbury League Club needed to grow the business and adapt to changing market conditions.

State-of-the-art backup and redundancy capability was also integrated into the new solution, addressing the crucial issue of business continuity and potential data loss through unexpected events such as power outages, server failure, and fire or water damage.

Outcome

The reconfiguration of the club’s network and subsequent move to a virtual It environment has resulted in enormous financial, productivity and performance benefits.

By consolidating and streamlining its IT systems and processes, the club has realised cost savings of approximately 55% in server hardware deduction and improved efficiency by up to 30% in the first 12 months following implementation.
