INTRODUCTION Yawuru Information Technology Services has been trading since September 2010, growing from its beginnings as a small but successful computing business, Dale’s PCs & Software, which was established in 2003. The full-service information technology company has celebrated many successes, largely due to chief executive officer Dale Robinson’s up-to-date technological and local knowledge. Photo caption
The business evolved when Mr Robinson, an Aboriginal man from Broome in Western Australia, saw an opportunity to form a company that would
provide mentoring and job opportunities in the IT industry for indigenous people. Mr Robinson, Yawuru IT Chief Executive officer, has extensive industry contacts and developed partnerships with worldwide computing companies such as HP and Ingram Micro. Mr Robinson has now achieved his long-term dream of creating one of the first indigenous-owned IT companies in Australia. From humble beginnings, Yawuru IT has grown to a successful business and today employs two Microsoft server engineers, a senior telecommunications engineer, a full time web and applications developer, a sales representative and a project manager.

requirements.
How much does an SLA cost?
A Service Level Agreement puts the maintenance and support of your network into the hands of IT professionals. There are two overarching outcomes with SLAs – the network is reliable and downtime is minimised. To achieve this we focus on preventative maintenance, training, procedure and documentation. This can only be delivered by having the right support tools.
Does my business need an SLA?
Yawuru IT has many options that allow us to fit the correct solution for your business. We can conduct a system audit and needs analysis at no cost.
Companies that manage their own IT generally struggle to meet these basic
If your business relies on its network to process orders and conduct general lines of business functions, then the answer is yes. Having a reactive strategy to network support is the same as planning to fail. It is proven that effort spent on preventative maintenance and proactive monitoring equates to savings in lost production and business continuance. Disasters do happen and planning and strategy is essential.
Which SLA package best suits my business? As we know there is no such thing as one size fits all when it comes to technology. We have developed our support packages to best target the needs of specific business requirements.

These Telepod facilities are connected to the world via satellite and, if necessary, we are able to accelerate the link with wireless technology connected to an ADSL backhaul.
