3. SERVICE LINES

Page 8: M2K Capabilities Statement

3.1 MOBILITY

When it comes to business and ramping up productivity by

enabling workforce mobility, there’s more to it than giving every

employee a mobile phone and a tablet!

M2K Communications is acutely aware that if mobility is not at

the heart of our client’s plans for the future, they could be at a

serious disadvantage to their competitors.

Mobility offers so much in terms of increased productivity, cost

savings and connectivity. M2K believes that people are at the

heart of a strong mobile workforce strategy. We know that by

equipping employees with the right tools to communicate and

collaboratively work together, business objective and success

will follow.

M2K Communications plays an integral role in optimising

business mobility for our clients. M2K designs bespoke

programs and achieves our client's desired outcomes by

reviewing current communications services and existing usage

levels; we then clearly align our road-map to our clients'

business objectives.

Having considered where our clients want to go, M2K will design

and implement a plan to get them there. M2K knows the right

solution is essential to optimising performance through better

productivity, flexibility and reliability.

It doesn’t stop there… Mobility doesn’t rest, so neither do we.

M2K won’t just implement and then walk away – our clients

know they can rely on us to regularly review their mobility to

ensure optimisation is always at its peak.

The reality is that technology is constantly redefining business in

profound ways and it is M2K’s objective to be the conduit

between rapidly changing technology and our client’s

commercial, financial and operational needs into their future.

Page 9: M2K Capabilities Statement

3.2 COLLABORATION

Collaboration or Unified Communications is the integration of

real-time, enterprise, communication services that brings people

together. Collaboration is the integration of email, telephony,

audio conferencing, video, instant messaging and web

conferencing.

If designed and implemented effectively, Collaboration will keep

mobile workforces empowered and connected while improving

workplace productivity. This is achieved by seamlessly

connecting staff, customers and subject matter experts through

streaming communication from diverse locations anywhere in

Australia or overseas.

Technology is moving rapidly. You can rely on M2K

Communications to guide your business through the challenges

of communications by designing and implementing tailored

Collaboration solutions for your business.

By aligning with M2K Communications you can expect:

○ A more productive and connected work environment

3.4 ICT MANAGED SERVICES

Service Desk or Help Desk Support should be simple, effective

and affordable – but this is often not the case. Too often we

hear stories of staff and customers waiting on hold trying to

reach their IT help desk.

M2K Communications has the Australian based people, tools

and processes to deliver a service desk you will love.

We deliver an incredibly high Service Level Agreement standard,

ensuring minimal wait times; and we resolve more than 70% of

issues on the first call. It’s no wonder our clients rate M2K

them interrupting your business operations.

demonstrates our ability to provide excellent and consistent

their business.

Page 13: M2K Capabilities Statement

configure and secure their mobile devices from one central

place.

M2K Communications implements MDM solutions for our

clients by utilising Cloud MDM solutions across every device,

every operating system and every mobile deployment. Our

scalable enterprise mobility management platform integrates

with existing systems and allows management of all devices,

regardless of type, platform or ownership.

M2K offers the technical knowledge, industry experience and

resources to ensure a successful implementation. Regardless of

the deployment method and scale, implementing MDM is a

streamlined process due to our solution's inherent design and

our company’s highly defined implementation methodology.

3.5 MOBILITY MANAGEMENT

Page 14: M2K Capabilities Statement

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Project

Management and Delivery is designing, implementing and

exercising a workable ICT solution, to enhance capabilities for

future growth.

So put simply, the ICT within your business needs to be

assessed, customised systems designed, implemented, tested

and rolled out, staff trained and then systems, process and

output evaluated.

Information has become an essential asset for business that

affects all aspects of activity. M2K Communications is acutely

aware that the ability to effectively manage the quality and flow

of information is vital to our client’s business survival and

growth.

This reality has taken on an unprecedented drive to adopt

information technology (IT) specialists to address both the

architecture of individual systems and the relationships between

them.

ICT Project Management and Delivery is a complicated task and

requires a highly trained Systems Architect specialist – much like

our experts at M2K Communications. Our team will address

Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity Planning, and the

combination of Cloud and on-premise solutions, to facilitate

effective and efficient outcomes.

How does the 'Cloud' work for business?

Working on the cloud allows your business to be nimble,efficient and cost-effective. If you quickly need access to moreresources, the cloud can scale rapidly. Conversely, if you need todownscale or reduce resources, this can be done just as easily.

3.9 CONCIERGE SERVICE

As businesses transition their mobile fleet to smart devices

(phones & tablets) to take advantage of Cloud applications, they

have quickly realised that they cannot afford to have their staff

without a working device. Additionally they don’t have the

expertise to manage their repair and rollout requirements.

M2K Communications have responded to our clients by offering

an effective, affordable, simple asset registry and repair service

– we call it the M2K Concierge Service.

We provide our clients with:

4.1 GOVERNMENTDEPARTMENT OF PREMIER AND CABINET

The vision of the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) is to

be “Recognised and respected leaders in whole-of-government

policy and performance.”

The DPC work for the people of Victoria by helping the

government achieve its strategic objectives. They do this by

supporting the Premier, Deputy Premier, Special Minister of

State, the Ministers for Aboriginal Affairs, Equality, Multicultural

Affairs, Prevention of Family Violence, Veterans and Women, as

well as the Cabinet.

M2K Communications is the Preferred Enterprise Mobility

Partner for the DPC’s mobility procurement. M2K also provisions

International Roaming access and allowances for DPC staff.

"The Department of Premier and Cabinet has been involved with M2K

Communications since 2009 and we are extremely happy with the

services they provide.

Outside of what is mandated within the SPC (State Purchasing

Contract), our Department regularly reviews the market for best vendors,

value add is of high importance along with pricing and M2K ticks all the

boxes. An example to this is the upgrading of the devices iOS prior to

delivery. This means we can quickly deploy the handset as soon as it

arrives.

Compared to the TCS help desk, M2K are much quicker and efficient with

certain service requests, ie. 10 minutes turnaround time for a newmobile

number creation and same day delivery of purchase orders. At times there

is a requirement for urgency and it helps to know we have a vendor we

can turn to, to deliver when needed.

Below are some projects over the years M2K has won the tender for and

assisted in delivering to DPC:

• Wifi upgrade project at Government House

• Provision of Wifi access point hardware for DPC

• Wifi installation within the Premier's Floor / 1 Treas using ArubaWAP's

I'm happy to recommend M2K Communications to anyone after a

friendly, efficient, cost effective service."

Page 22: M2K Capabilities Statement

4.2 FINANCE

CROWE HORWATH AUSTRALASIA LTD

Crowe Horwath Australasia is the largest provider of practical

accounting, audit, tax, business and financial advice to

individuals and small and medium businesses from a

comprehensive network of over 80 offices.

They are experts at creating a relationship their clients can

count on – they pride themselves on being large enough to offer

a range of expertise and skills - and small enough to provide the

personal touch.

The fit between Crowe Horwath and M2K Communications was

a perfect one. M2K’s personalised service supported Crowe

Horwath through their negotiations with Telstra and helped

identify key areas of their mobility proposal where savings could

be made and greater returns on investment found.

M2K are also working with Crowe Horwath to consolidate their

many mobile accounts and review their ICT hardware, and bring

them across to a faster, more reliable, cost effective solution.

“What really makes the difference for us, is M2K’s understanding of our

business and our objectives.

I have actually engaged their services for two other businesses I own. Be it

large or small, there is no doubt that the M2K commitment to excellence

in customer service, does not falter.

In my opinion, M2K is a business I am happy to continue to refer to

others. I will use M2K in all my ventures, and plan to expand their services

within my current operations.

I only wish that other service businesses would follow M2K's lead in how

to treat and service clients. I wish them every success."

Philip Hart - Director

4.3 SPORT

AFL

The Australian Football League (AFL) is the highest-level

professional competition in the sport of Australian Rules

football. The league was founded as the Victorian Football

League (VFL) with its inaugural season commencing in 1897.

Originally comprising only teams based in Victoria, the

competition's name was changed to the Australian Football

League for the 1990 season, after expanding to other states

throughout the 1980s.

The AFL has a proud heritage and M2K Communications was

thrilled to partner with them to play a supporting role in their

future. M2K embraced the spirit of being part of the AFL team

when they needed help with their mobility solutions. M2K

provided the AFL with mobile internet connectivity for the

current preseason NAB Challenge.

M2K also supplied and implemented phone systems for AFL

Sports Ready affiliate regional programs across the country.

“We knew M2K would assess our requirements and recommend cost

effective solutions for our business, and we soon realised how serious the

M2K team took their commitment towards us as their client. As a result,

our team now turn to their team first.

Both of our businesses work well together and we can always rely on M2K

to deliver the right outcome for the AFTL.

A recent example, is M2K providing 4G Internet at our regional venues for

the 2016 NAB Challenge preseason competition over a 3 week period,

which worked really well and was a seamless solution”

suppliers, large and small, to help us deliver what we believe to be a first

class product.

In the world of telcos there are huge players who tell you that they can do

anything. When the chips are down you need someone you can rely on.

us to devise realistic and positive solutions.

If anyone mentions they have telco problems we just give themM2K's
