Cisco Start
In March 2017, Cisco’s state manager for Queensland, Michael Reid, saw Nic and Lucas speak at a business seminar. “I absolutely loved their story,” he said. “So I connected with them on LinkedIn the next day to see if there was anything we could do to help. We had a meeting a week later.”
At that meeting, Lucas was very impressed by the simplicity and ease of use of the products in the Cisco Webex Teams and Meraki portfolio. “Michael showed us around the office and walked us through some tech, and we were blown away, especially the video conferencing and remote control dashboards."
“And to top it off,” said Lucas, “they were clearly passionate about our cause. They offered to look after us with big discounts and donated time from their experienced engineers. It was an offer that was too good to refuse.”
So over the next three months, Cisco integrated a tailored Cisco Meraki networking and communication solution for Orange Sky. This included all routing, switching and wireless at head office, collaboration solution, IP video surveillance, an enterprise-grade firewall, and fast, reliable public WiFi at their vans.
