As an active provider of managed services for communications across all three levels of government, imei attended Australia’s most important business event for ICT in government – Tech in Gov.

As businesses become increasingly dependent on the remote workforce, keeping remote workers securely connected is fast becoming a priority.

In our always-on world, where data is king, the constant emergence of cyberthreats such as ransomware means a data backup strategy should be a central part of your modus operandi. But it’s not just preparedness to protect your corporate data from cybercrime, data backups ready your business to handle most threats to business continuity. For example, take the recent (and ongoing) natural disasters such as the flooding that continues to wreak havoc in businesses in Queensland and New South Wales or the bushfires that present an ongoing threat every summer.

According to a study by McKinsey, before the COVID-19 pandemic, 99% of executives expected their workforce to be on-site more than four days a week. Now most are planning to have employees on-site between one and four days each week.

This month, imei reaches another significant milestone. We turn 21!

In celebrating our 21st birthday, I think it’s important to remember how far we’ve come since our days as a mobile phone service and support company. With the ongoing support of our strategic partners, vendors, and clients, we’ve grown into a full-service whole-of-business communications services provider.
