QIC is a long-term specialist manager in alternatives offering infrastructure, real estate, private capital, liquid strategies, and multi-asset investments. It is one of the largest institutional investment managers in Australia, with A$79bn (US$54 bn) in funds under management (as of 30 June 2020). QIC has more than 110 clients and over 1400 employees. Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, QIC also has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Copenhagen.
As part of a company-wide transformation, QIC turned to Insync to aid in a smooth migration to Microsoft Teams from Skype for Business.
As part of a broad investment mix, global reach, and changing tailwinds with investment markets, QIC conducts a LOT of meetings. Meetings about investment priorities or decisions through to internal compliance, HR, or client meetings. QIC already operated a distributed meeting and conferencing environment, based on Cisco videoconferencing equipment, utilising the Pexip interoperability platform to allow Cisco equipment to join Microsoft Skype for Business Meetings. QIC turned to Insync when migrating to Microsoft Teams from Skype for Business, and in the process wanted to decommission their legacy Cisco environment for both calling and meetings.
Insync moved rapidly to build out a program of work, aligned to a refresh of the QIC Windows 10 modern operating environment – to roll out Teams globally and provide a superior meeting and calling experience to employees.
