Case Study
Business Situation
m3 was planning to move both their Victorian headquarters and their Sydney office to new locations. All the data and applications on their old servers, located at their Victorian headquarters, had to be migrated to the Cloud. This enabled them to move premises quickly and easily, without the need to move the servers or invest in new hardware in the future. They required the expertise of the getNEXT professionals to manage this migration and to maintain their IT and Communications throughout the office move.
“getNEXT continues to maintain and support our vital IT systems with excellence.”
