In 2002, a Wide Area Network (WAN) was constructed from Milawa out to four State Sales offices to carry both Data traffic (Citrix) and voice (VoIP). The VoIP was implemented with IBM services and a compination of IBM, Cisco and PSL I.T.
The Cognos PowerPlay Web implementation was further extended, most particularly into providing consolidated distribution data to the Sales Team. Previously unavailable Brown Brothers Sales data was sourced from multiple wholesalers, cleansed and consolidated into a single view of the Retail customer for the first time.
In addition, a major platform upgrade from Windows NT to Windows 2000 was completed.
