How Jayco Newcastle Achieved Significant Cost Savings By Partnering With New Era

Jayco wanted to interconnect their two sites and multiple departments, so that they could work together more efficiently.
New Era Technology came on as their IT provider and helped Jayco integrate their sites and significantly reduced their IT cost.

Challenge 

Ageing systems and IT infrastructure were no longer fit for
Jayco’s dynamic business needs. Damian Charleson, CEO of
Jayco Newcastle knew he had to look for a better solution.
New Era Technology was recommended to Damian by a mutual
business associate, so he reached out and has not looked back
on his decision to switch IT providers.

Jayco’s main challenge lay in interconnecting two sites and
multiple departments to seamlessly work together.

Solution

When New Era took over the IT support of Jayco Newcastle in April 2017, NBN had recently been introduced to the Heatherbrae region. The first step was to install a private NBN network to integrate the new Hunter Valley Home’s site with the Jayco Newcastle site. A 4G fail-over solution was also installed to ensure coverage in case of a communication outage.

With an aging, on-premise server, Jayco also made the decision to move to New Era’s Cloud Solution, which included a number of hosted servers dedicated to Jayco.

Moving to the cloud included delivering SIP phone lines into Jayco’s existing phone system and integrating Office 365 for email and Office Applications.

Outcome

Integrating the two sites and delivering SIP phone lines meant significant cost savings for Jayco and also meant a more reliable connection for their two sites.

With the new infrastructure in place, Jayco’s sales team are more mobile. They can take a customer into a caravan and work from their IPad, without having to worry about wifi.

Providing Jayco with IT Support also means that any occuring problems can be fixed in a timely fashion without interrupting their day-to-day operations.
