In 2016, Manly, Pittwater, and Warringah councils amalgamated as part of the state government’s reduction of local government areas.
Operating with amalgamated workforces resulted in three unified communication (UC) systems inherited from the former councils. These legacy systems presented issues restricting efficient staff communications within one organisation over a number of sites.
Telstra and Ericom responded to the Tender requirements and conducted various presentations outlining the capabilities of Telstra and how they were best equipped to deliver a solution to meet the end user requirements and the handling of change management and risk mitigation. Training and documentation would be provided to all employees and the council’s internal IT teams. The Telstra and Ericom team deployed a full Telstra Cloud solution for telephony and contact centre, which comprised TCO365 and Genesys Cloud. The solution integrated with the rest of Northern Beaches’ Microsoft suite and Salesforce.
