Project Description

National Rugby League

The National Rugby League (NRL) is the top league of professional rugby league clubs in Australia and New Zealand, and runs one of the world’s elite rugby leagues. The Australian Rugby League Commission is the controlling body and administrator of the game that oversees the restructure of staff levels, which has grown from 80 staff members to 600. The commission recognizes the importance of technology and the role it plays in the sport.

With the relocation of its Sydney headquarters, League Central became the hub to host services for 12 branch offices. It was a great opportunity to replace an aging analog phone system to support mobile workers and a new outbound call center to drive club membership. Kytec, the NRL’s trusted partner, recommended a Cisco solution.

“We wanted a unified data center and communications solution from a single vendor,” says Maurice Veliz, IT manager for the NRL. “Cisco was the only company that could provide an end-to-end solution.”
