From The CEO Greg Strachan CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Kia ora, Happy New Year!! Hopefully with the wonderful summer that’s been, you managed to have a break to refresh and recharge. 2022 I am sure, will throw some curveballs at us all, however as a collective it does feel like Kiwis are ready to embrace “getting on with it”. As we progress into 2022 we are seeing signs at last that we may well have a year that could be… normalish. I certainly hope so. Moving away from all things pandemic, this Total Solutions publication contains great articles that will assist many schools to save money, all the while ensuring things run smoothly. Some great reads in this edition include providing options for outcomes through leasing, digital trends in the classroom and cloud transformation. Voice over Internet Protocol ( VoIP ) Saving money, is something that we are all interested in, this edition we cover the use of VoIP. Telephony utilising your N4L fibre connection is the way forward without a doubt (especially since copper phone lines are to be decommissioned in the near future). The cost savings are huge and the functionality is amazing compared to traditional phone systems. This really is a must do for schools. New Era Technology is a very proud sponsor of Secondary Principal’s Association of NZ (SPANZ) and the School Business Managers Association (SBM). This edition we highlight the importance of the relationships between Principals and School Business Managers. Lastly before signing off, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our clients for their continued support over the past two years. The past few years have been extremely difficult for all organisations and we at New Era are no exception. However with the client base we have, and the positivity we have received has gone a long way for us as a business and to our individual team members. It’s been greatly appreciated. All the very best for 2022 Nga mihi
Greg
