Technology is moving so fast that what’s the norm today is old school by tomorrow. By thinking outside the box, embracing new emerging technologies and changing the way ICT is thought about within the organisation, it is possible to reduce the costs and risks for your organisation, as well as give your staff the technology and freedom to do their jobs better.
Thinking outside the box is more than using different hardware. It involves changing the way you think about ICT and letting technology open up possibilities for your staff and organisation. This can lead to increases in productivity, lower costs and risks for the organisation, better staff retention and more staff satisfaction.
We will go through the evolving ICT landscape at United Synergies, a not-for-profit organisation based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. In the last two and a half years, we’ve made some major changes that have moved United Synergies to the top of the ICT playing field. We will look at where we came from, what we’re currently using and where we’ll be tomorrow.
This webinar is about re-thinking your approach to ICT – how to think about what you really need and how you can provide great solutions for your staff.
In this webinar, participants will look at:
- Hardware options
- Software solutions
- Networks and cloud
- Internet options
- Managing mobile staff
- Where to from here
