Starting from one office, this successful real estate agency now operates across five locations in the Lake Macquarie region. Their team of over 30 professionals offers a wide array of services, from residential sales (including waterfront and rural properties) to commercial transactions, property management, and project marketing.
Managing technology across multiple locations presents challenges for growing real estate agencies. Streamlining multi-site real estate IT became crucial for a prominent agency in Lake Macquarie that expanded from one to five offices.
Consequently, they partnered with New Era Technology to consolidate systems for seamless operations. This strategic move towards streamlining multi-site real estate IT aimed to boost reliability and overcome the difficulties of a fragmented infrastructure.
When Disconnected Processes Limit Efficiency
Because the agency operated across several locations and previously used various IT suppliers, streamlining multi-site real estate IT was essential. Therefore, they decided to review their IT services to consolidate and simplify.
Their main goal was to improve the efficiency and dependability of their technology. Moreover, they sought cost savings by reducing the number of suppliers.
Ultimately, the agency wanted to function as one unified entity. Thus, streamlining multi-site real estate IT was key to ensuring smooth communication and collaboration across their different offices.
Connecting Systems to Support Better Performance
In 2017, New Era Technology began a partnership with a growing real estate agency in the Lake Macquarie area. At the time, the agency required a reliable computing infrastructure to support their extensive property management portfolio and customer relationship management (CRM) system.
New Era's solution involved the implementation of dedicated hosted servers tailored to the agency's needs, seamlessly integrated with Microsoft 365 for email and office productivity applications. To address the critical need for data security, the solution also incorporated robust cyber and email protection measures, mitigating the risk of data loss.
Furthermore, New Era facilitated significant cost savings by delivering SIP phone lines that integrated with the agency's existing phone system. To enhance connectivity and support their increasing data needs, the real estate group also upgraded to New Era's NBN for Business network, resulting in improved internet speeds across their locations.
Our services for this real estate agency included:
- Hosted Cloud Computing
- Cyber Management and Protection
- Microsoft 365 Management and Backup of all email accounts and domains
- NBN, Voice Data, and Internet access services
- Help Desk support, both remote and on-site
