CASE STUDY
Nutanix , a leader in enterprise cloud OS , announced it has helped the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland ( RACQ ) save about half a million dollars and support the organization ’ s drive to always provide ‘ more for members ’.
Since its formation in 1905 , RACQ has constantly evolved to meet the needs of its members . It began as a motoring advocacy group and auto club , entered into the insurance industry in the 1970s , and in 2017 disrupted Queensland and Australia ’ s financial services industry after merging with QT Mutual Bank to launch RACQ Bank .
Now , 115 years after its founding , RACQ offers its members a broad range of services including banking and financial planning , car and pet insurance , as well as roadside and home assistance .
Ben Johnston , General Manager Security and Shared ICT Services at RACQ , said that across its service portfolio , RACQ ’ s mission was to always provide ultimate benefit to its members . Despite this ethos , ageing IT infrastructure meant his team had been tied-up in keeping the lights on . “ One of my teams would spend far too much of their time dealing with hardware updates and firmware fixes – now it ’ s just not an issue ,” he said .

NOT AN ISSUE
