REINSW Modernised Storage for Transition to Work-From-Home

What FUJIFILM MicroChannel did

The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales is the peak industry body for real estate agents and property professionals in NSW. The largest and most influential association of its kind in NSW, REINSW represents thousands of agents across the state. With a track record and reputation for delivering valued products and services, REINSW promotes and responds to the changing needs of members with over 100 years of experience.

The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) like many organisations took the decision to leave the office in late March 2020 and sent 34 staff in Sydney to work from home. The association was reasonably prepared for the transition with most systems already running in the cloud, however the missing piece was modernising storage. The big issue for the institute was all their corporate information, files and folders were stored in the office on a central server in Sydney. Staff were experiencing access and security issues by working offline, creating new file versions and having to pull documents off servers with portable drives.
