One such partner is Llanwern Golf Club, and after hearing a presentation Rhys Clark gave at a Golf Club Managers Association (GCMA) meeting, their club manager, Luke Bearcroft, contacted us to discuss their IT needs.

They wanted to improve their wireless and networking services at the club to enable the club staff to work more efficiently and also to offer reliable wireless internet services to members, guests, as well as corporate events held at the club.

After conducting an initial site visit, we discussed their specific requirements, which included:

• Wireless provision around the area of the first tee, to be serviced from the Pro Shop
• Providing a connection for players to the various golf applications, such as HowDidiDo, ClubV1 and Wales Golf (World Handicap System).

Issues with the existing wireless setup:

The main issue the club had was with the wireless provision around the clubhouse.

The signal came from a single router as opposed to access points located in positions that allow good distribution of wireless signal.

The signal was impeded by walls and obstructions, which resulted in the wireless signal being quite poor in areas such as the large bar area, the smaller bar area and the rear area near the locker rooms where there is a score terminal for members to use.

Telephone, IT Support and Office 365

We also discussed the issues the club was facing with emails and how the club could save money by migrating to a VoIP phone system.

Project overview

After understanding the club's IT needs and working with them to develop a 360-degree solution that future-proofed the organisation, the project involved:

✅ Replacing the current broadband circuit with a faster service

✅ Replacing the switches and install access points throughout the clubhouse

✅ Replacing the cable running from the clubhouse to the Pro Shop

✅ Tidying up the cabling and switches behind the desk and in the office

✅ Migrating Email to Office 365

✅ Implementing Microsoft SharePoint for file sharing, collaboration and backup

✅ Migrating phone system to Jellyfish

✅ Moved the IT Support to Jellyfish so the club have a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all support services
