Cisco Start
Orange Sky’s head office team now has access to an intuitive, elegant Meraki dashboard that allows them to easily monitor their vans and manage their volunteers, and control all on-board devices and appliances.
Our efficiency within the office is up,” he said. “Just getting the Cisco Meraki access points installed was a massive plus; we immediately noticed a significant difference in speed and in our own productivity. But once the Cisco Webex Teams Boards were up and running too, it was like we were able to shift up to an entirely new gear. We hold regular video calls with staff and volunteers around Australia, delivering training, chatting about how they’re going, and discussing any challenges they’re facing. Keeping people informed is the most powerful thing you can do, particularly as a volunteer-heavy organisation. And thanks to Cisco Webex Teams, we’re now doing it far better than before.”
The new technologies have also enabled additional innovation. “Our developers are constantly working on new things, like the new volunteer portal we just released,” Lucas said. “It’s a good feeling, knowing that our IT infrastructure can now keep up with our ambitious plans for growth.” But according to Lucas, perhaps the biggest indicator of success is the fact that no-one on the ground has complained about the new systems. “They’re using everything exactly as we need them to.”
