The Challenge: The Struggle for Stability

Before seeking assistance from Telco ICT Group, Elcon Cables relied on basic NBN for each of its sites. Their existing network setup wasn’t cutting it. Frequent disruptions and a lagging connection impacted Elcon Cables’ five national offices, restricting employee productivity and causing frustration. This, in turn, began to dampen overall morale within the company.

An inadequate NBN connection was also a significant risk to data security. With sensitive data flowing through their network, Elcon Cables lacked the safeguards to protect their critical information. In addition to these issues, managing individual network environments across multiple locations proved cumbersome and time-consuming for their IT team.

The Telco ICT Group Solution: Building a Stronger Foundation

With an understanding of Elcon Cables’ issues and specific requirements, we recommended a comprehensive network transformation solution. The solution centred around the following areas:

SD-WAN with Fixed Internet Connections

Telco ICT Group implemented a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution. SD-WAN technology intelligently routes traffic across multiple internet connections, optimising network performance and ensuring business continuity.

Fixed internet connections provided a reliable and high-bandwidth foundation for the network. As a solution, it significantly improved overall network stability and redundancy.

Managed Meraki at All Sites

Telco ICT Group deployed Meraki, a cloud-managed network appliance solution, at all five Elcon Cables sites. Meraki offers centralised management and visibility, allowing the IT team to monitor and configure the network from a single platform easily. Telco ICT Group streamlining network management alleviated the workload for the IT staff.

Enhanced Security Protocols

Recognising the need for highly functioning data security, Telco ICT Group implemented robust security protocols to safeguard Elcon Cables’ sensitive information. The protocols included:

  • Firewalls
  • Intrusion detection
  • Prevention systems
  • Data encryption

These combined ensured a comprehensive layer of protection against potential cyber threats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About IT Consulting

Straight answers to the questions business owners ask before engaging a consultant.

Round-the-clock monitoring of your servers, workstations, network and cloud, plus patching, backup management, security tooling, helpdesk support and a dedicated account manager. It is a fixed monthly fee covering the day-to-day running of your IT. Projects like a cloud migration or an office relocation are scoped and quoted separately, so you always know what sits inside the retainer.

Most tickets are picked up within 15 minutes, and our average response across managed clients is under two hours. Anything stopping your business from trading escalates straight to a senior engineer. You get a person on the phone, not a ticket number and a queue.

Pricing is per user or per device depending on your setup, and it is fixed monthly, so the invoice is the same number every month no matter how often you call. We scope it after a free assessment of your current environment. No hourly billing, no surprise line items, no lock-in contract.

Yes. Co-managed IT is one of the more common arrangements we run. Your internal person keeps the relationships and the day-to-day, and we sit behind them with the specialists: cyber, cloud architecture, network design and after-hours cover. It is how a business with one IT staff member gets a full team without hiring one.

No. We start by documenting and stabilising what you already have. If something is genuinely holding you back or is a security risk, we will say so, cost it, and let you decide the timing. Anything we recommend replacing comes with the reason and the business impact attached, not just a quote.

Week one is discovery: documentation, access, asset register and a full audit of what is in place. Weeks two and three we deploy monitoring, patching, backup and security tooling and close the highest-risk gaps. Week four we walk you through what we found, what we fixed and what is queued next. Your team keeps working throughout.

Yes. Our office is at 395 High Street, Ashburton, and our engineers are here in Victoria. Most support is delivered remotely because it is faster, but when a job needs someone physically on site, someone from our team turns up rather than a subcontractor you have never met.

Essential Eight is the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s baseline set of eight controls for preventing ransomware and data breaches. Most businesses do not need Maturity Level 3, but almost all should be at Level 1 or 2, and insurers and larger clients increasingly ask. We assess where you sit and build up in stages rather than all at once.

That is the usual situation. We can run the assessment now, show you what a transition looks like, and time the switchover to your contract end date. We handle the handover of documentation, licences, domains and vendor accounts. Most migrations run over two to four weeks with no downtime for your staff.

Book a free IT assessment. We spend about an hour understanding your setup, your pain points and where the business is heading, then come back with what we would fix first, in what order, and what it costs. No obligation, and you keep the findings either way.
