For more than 125 years, St John Ambulance Australia has been active, providing first aid, disaster relief services, and other humanitarian assistance throughout the country. St John Ambulance Australia takes its inspiration from the Knights of St John, who offered care and shelter to pilgrims and crusaders in medieval times.

 

Although it is a venerable institution St John Ambulance Australia isn’t old-fashioned. It relies on computers, wireless networks, mobile technology, and cloud-based services to assist in the provision of first aid and health services, deliver disaster services, market first aid kits, and train tens of thousands of first aid volunteers. Still, the various St John organisations throughout Australia—it is organized by state, under a national federation—is careful with its expenses. “Because we’re a not-for-profit organisation, staying as up-to-date as we can—with limited budgets—is a great struggle,” says Daniel Kuhn, ICT manager in the state of Queensland.

 

Another way St John Ambulance Australia makes every dollar count is by using Symantec.cloud technologies. Three St John state organisations—in Queensland, New South Wales, and South Australia—use Symantec Web Security.cloud and Email Security.cloud; two use Symantec Enterprise Vault.cloud; and two use Symantec Endpoint Protection.cloud. Switching to Symantec.cloud solutions has enabled these organisations to better protect users and their workstations, eliminate servers (and associated chores) from their data centers, streamline IT operations, and derive value from their IT spending. “We found that if we added up the licensing fees for all of the different point solutions we had, we could go to one vendor—Symantec—to solve our problems for the same amount of money and reduce the amount of IT time involved,” explains Adrian Coulls, Information Technology Services manager for the state of South Australia.
