Global Medics is a high end locum placement agency for urban and rural areas in an international space.
With agencies in the UK, New Zealand, India and South Africa. They have grown rapidly in the Australian marketplace and continue to grow.
Global Medics opened their office in Sydney in 2009. They had moved here from the UK with a relatively small team and as such brought over equipment not able to cope with their growth. Like many recruiters, they use Eclipse to manage their candidate sourcing process.
Due to explosive growth, the IT for the business was not able to keep up with the demand. Employee productivity and effectiveness suffered as it was taking as long as 1-2 minutes per transaction making their systems almost unusable.
Managers and staff were fed up and Greenlight ITC were commissioned to improve services.

Performance
With the implementation of a server with more memory and high end CPU’s an immediate improvement occurred in the SQL applications. Remote Desktop users were now also on a much faster server and no longer struggled to do more than two things at once.
User Experience
Staff are no longer frustrated with their IT systems and are ultimately more productive. Team member turn over has also decreased.
Scalability
Global Medics now had a system that will grow with them. The new solution can accommodate for twice their current business size, without significant outlay.
Cost Savings
Global Medics were able to close some branch offices and amalgamate them together as the new environment basically made their needs for local branch infrastructure redundant resulting in considerable cost savings.
