At the forefront of data management in regional Australia, HutSix specialises in creating bespoke software solutions. “Tailored precisely to our clients’ unique specifications, our systems adeptly handle all aspects of data entry and reporting,” says Erika Hamilton, Chief Operations Officer at HutSix. From scope development through to project management and software creation, everything is managed in-house, underlining their commitment to continuous enhancement and exceptional customer service.
In early 2023, HutSix connected to GigCity, when they relocated their office into the Lot Fourteen Innovation District in the heart of TechCentral. “GigCity’s reputation for providing high-speed internet connections at competitive rates, coupled with their profound familiarity with the district, came highly recommended to us,” Erika explains.
HutSix’s goals for operational efficiency were met and exceeded through the GigCity connection. “We aimed to enhance our operational efficiency through faster data processing, seamless cloud-based services integration, and improved collaboration across our teams,” Erika says. The company not only achieved these objectives, resulting in a noticeable improvement in their daily operations and team productivity, but also enjoyed unexpected benefits such as enhanced security features and a reduction in downtime.
The necessity of high-speed internet
“Fast internet and additional bandwidth are crucial to us,” Erika emphasises. These resources support high-volume data transfers, sophisticated cloud-based applications, and facilitate lag-free high-definition video conferencing, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted business operations.
HutSix has implemented real-time data analytics and enhanced their client service through faster response times. “We’ve been able to support remote working arrangements more effectively than was previously possible,” Erika says.
The consistent speed and bandwidth provided by GigCity have allowed HutSix’s teams to maintain peak productivity. Erika says, “We’ve never experienced any service interruption or lagging. This stability has been instrumental in several ways for our students, customers, and staff members. For instance, our development team can seamlessly conduct heavy data uploads and downloads without impacting the online activities of the marketing team.”
HutSix’s partnership with GigCity has been a game-changer. Erika says, “we’ve experienced unparalleled reliability and speed in our internet service, transforming our operational efficiency and collaboration capabilities. GigCity has enabled us to handle complex data management tasks with ease and exceed our client expectations consistently.”
As HutSix looks to the future, they are focused on expanding their services and exploring innovative technologies to further enhance their software solutions. “The GigCity connection stands as a cornerstone in this vision, providing us with the high-speed internet and bandwidth necessary to support our ambitious plans,” says Erika. It enables the company to leverage cloud computing more extensively, integrate advanced data analytics into their services and offer more robust and scalable solutions to their clients. “With GigCity’s reliable and high-performance connectivity, we anticipate facilitating smoother collaborations, both internally and with clients, and embarking on more complex projects that demand significant data handling and real-time communication. This strategic advantage will allow us to stay at the forefront of technological innovation, ensuring we continue to meet and exceed the evolving needs of our clients.”
