ALE made it an easy decision to adopt the new Stellar solution. They were enthusiastic throughout the process and were clearly invested in delivering the outcomes we required.
Challenges
- Energy One undertook a review of their network infrastructure in preparation for an upcoming Unified Communications (UC) rollout in its Sydney and Melbourne offices. The review highlighted connectivity issues that could impact the performance of the new voice and video functionalities.
- The organization also identified user authentication, WiFi guest access, and a lack of consistency for users across sites as areas for improvement.
- Looking to the future, Energy One also wanted a scalable and centrally managed network solution that could grow along with the company.
Results
Technical benefits:
- The OmniVista network management system has simplified management and maintenance across both sites.
- The Cloud-based PALM, ProActive Lifecycle Management, ensures that firmware is always up to date and that vulnerabilities are resolved quickly for greater security.
- The UC rollout was a success thanks to the high bandwidth intelligent network provided by Stellar.
- Energy One has a scalable and reliable “plug-and-play” solution that can easily onboard new sites.
Financial benefits:
- The IT team no longer needs to manually add each guest onto the network, freeing them to focus on priority tasks.

User experience benefits:
