Auswide has been the IT support partner of Fairmont Group for 8 years. Fairmont Group is a South Australian company that builds 700 homes per year in SA and through its subsidiaries delivers 400 housing blocks to the SA and QLD markers. Initially Fairmont chose Auswide to replace out internal IT function in an effort to improve network reliability. We were looking for the flexibility, technological ability and extra support you get when the IT function is outsourced. With Auswide we saw an immediate reliability improvement along with better hardware purchasing and consistent maintenance. Auswide Helped us move from traditional telephone system to an internet VoIP product. Recently we moved from our home of 20 years into a fully refurbished office building at Kent Town. Auswide, who consulted during the refurb stage, executed the IT move over the March long weekend. On the Tuesday, 80 Fairmont employees had access to a smooth-running network, phones and internet. Auswide had utilised its considerable team to work around the clock to deliver the required services. Auswide advised on and delivered a new security system which has improved security of our staff and help protect our considerable new asset. During the Covid-19 pandemic staff were able to stay safe by working from home and logging into Fairmont systems from their home PC’s and laptops. We have had a successful relationship with Auswide and hope it continues for some time.
