Since its inception in 1999, Wisdom Homes has carved a niche in the competitive landscape of home and land packages, speculative homes, and turn-key solutions, including pools and landscaping. Expanding from its initial offerings to a portfolio that now includes 6 Display Villages—and growing to 10 including the South Coast—Wisdom Homes has set a benchmark for quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction in New South Wales. Known simply as WISDOM, the company’s journey is a testament to its commitment to excellence, reflected in the thousands of homes built that exceed client expectations.

Our engagement with Cloud4x signified a pivotal shift in our operational dynamics, marked by an ambitious ICT uplift as we transitioned offices from Narellan to Gregory Hills. Cloud4x’s expertise in blending best-of-breed physical technologies with innovative cloud platforms ensured a seamless migration under a tight timeline, embodying agility and foresight in our ICT strategies.

Gilbert Hanna, our IT Service Delivery Manager, highlights Cloud4x’s role in creating a unified platform that has significantly enhanced employee productivity and, in turn, customer satisfaction. This transformation involved leveraging components from our previous infrastructure, facilitating a smooth integration that aligned with our growth and expansion goals.

Cloud4x orchestrated the migration of our on-premises exchange server to Microsoft O365, streamlining communication across over 200 users and 35 shared mailboxes. Our 3-story building, including the car park, was equipped with a robust fibre backbone and Ethernet to all end-points, supported by redundant core switches, edge switches, and enterprise Wi-Fi, enabling unparalleled connectivity and collaboration.

In recognition of the critical importance of business continuity, Cloud4x implemented a cloud-based disaster recovery program. This forward-thinking strategy ensured the rapid replication of our mission-critical applications and data, minimising potential data loss and guaranteeing our operations remain "Always On" in the face of any disaster.

The suite of products and services delivered by Cloud4x has not only transformed our business systems but also fostered a culture of innovation and efficiency. Key benefits include:

• Enhanced system performances and uptimes, boosting productivity and employee morale.
• Increased service stability, reliability, and disaster recovery capabilities.
• Unlimited storage and advanced email features through Office 365, reducing infrastructure and staffing costs.
• Significantly lowered initial capital expenditure with Cloud4x's DR solution, coupled with the flexibility and scalability offered by cloud infrastructure.
• Enhanced security and compliance, supported by Cloud4x's continuous upgrade and monitoring of intrusion detection and prevention systems.

Cloud4x's strategic engagement has not only addressed our immediate IT needs but has also positioned us for sustainable growth and innovation. Our partnership underscores the importance of adapting to technological advancements, ensuring Wisdom Homes remains at the forefront of the housing industry. As we continue to expand our horizons, our collaboration with Cloud4x serves as a cornerstone of our success, enabling us to focus on our core mission of building quality homes while navigating the complexities of digital transformation with confidence.
