The Problem: A remote workforce

Treecorp is a tree farming and forestry management company, with an annual production capacity of 10 million units. The company is using its computer network to grow seedlings thanks to IT Networks!

The company has a remote workforce, including employees in rural locations. Each area of the company needed to be able to communicate effectively and access information easily.

The Solution

With the aid of high-speed DSL Internet connections, and using secure VPN tunnels between offices, employees based in remote areas of Australia, such as Kangaroo Island, can work like they are physically located in the Melbourne head office. VPN technology is what allows users in remote locations to access the central IT system, including all applications, files and servers.

The Result

With the company’s steady growth and recent leverage of vertical markets, running a logging and sawmill facility in a remote part of Australia has become possible due to the design and implementation of Local and Wide Area Networks, designed and installed by IT Networks. Ongoing maintenance and the company’s continued growth now keep IT Networks engineering staff busy providing real-time monitoring of network security and performance.

What the client says:

"IT Networks put in our network virtually from scratch and have developed it over the last year and a half. The service is excellent. Any problems we've had, the guys either fix straight away over the phone or they come in and help us. Even for very minor problems, we just ring IT Networks and they are quite happy to help. They installed the network system in February last year and the server hasn't fallen over once. From my point of view, that means that the ongoing maintenance plan is working! Plus, we buy all our hardware from IT Networks because they give us a good price and install it all for us."
