David Russell , Business Lead of Unified Communications
IT investments are inherently expensive. And, when there is a major breakdown, operational costs get out of hand, resulting in business downtime which could span anywhere between a few hours to days. Thus, it makes sense for businesses to come out this “break-fix” model, and delegate their IT functions to experts adept at managing them 24/7, and focus on their core business instead. This is where managed services play a pivotal role. Nexon, a provider of dynamic and flexible IT solutions, was incorporated to help enterprises expand their IT capabilities whenever needed and obliterate operational risk factors.

Its initial offerings were managed network services that gave Australian businesses access to high speed, secure private networks with monitored availability and performance.
