Australian retailer stays connected to global markets

Using Nextep's high-speed private network solution, GAZ MAN can monitor emerging business trends, share designs with its overseas manufacturing partners and better communicate its brand identity.

Client Brief:

As fashion brand GAZ MAN operates in very competitive markets, it needed cost-effective access to internet-based technologies that are the equal of its larger competitors, without having to over-invest in technological hardware.

The Intelligent Connection:

Through long time Channel Partner IPsX, Nextep effectively gave GAZ MAN a private network solution that supports the data and voice requirements of their head office and 40 retail stores. The Nextep DSLAM solution enables multimedia data streams to be securely transmitted along the pair of copper wires in an ordinary telephone line. And this is what helped GAZ MAN sidestep the network congestion issues that can occur when small-to-medium sized organisations share networks with residential users.

Results:

These flexibly-priced, cost competitive and labour efficient broadband solutions enable GAZ MAN to focus on its core business, not fret over its telecoms support. From sending email to processing orders, GAZ MAN now enjoys the online convergence, speed, reliability and security that were previously only available to larger corporations. Nextep has provided access to functions like e-commerce, voice and data transmission, mass back-up and sharing of data, plus reliable connections and full security.

Client View:

"Providing all our email, web access, VoiP and video conferencing infrastructure in one streamlined system, IPsX and Nextep help make our business a lot more efficient and competitive."
