“We have all the benefits of direct control without having the cost of a huge IT Department.”
Graham Lott, CIO of Emerson.

The Opportunity

With limited IT resources, Emerson Network Power needed a solution that allowed for the day-to-day management of the network to be taken off their hands, so their staff could focus on application support. In addition, they wanted a real-

time view of what was going on in their network so they could make fast and informed decisions.

The Solution

Macquarie Telecom provided significant savings for Emerson by providing a totally independent solution.

The solution comprised of a fully managed Data Network with a combination of private IP/VPNs and Frame Relay.

Visibility and control of their network was provided through Macquarie Telecom's Data Network management tool InView. This means they now understand what is going on in their network and can make informed decisions quickly.

“We have all the benefits of direct control without having the cost of a huge IT Department.” said Graham Lott, CIO of Emerson.

“We can also access a much larger pool of skills via Macquarie Telecom than we could ever justify having inhouse.”

Graham sums up the value of Macquarie Telecom to him by saying that he “sees Macquarie as an extension of his IT Department”.

Emerson Network Power has been a customer of Macquarie Telecom for over four years for voice, data and business Internet. In addition, Macquarie hosts the Australian hub of the Emerson Global Data Network.
