Case Study: Youi's New Headquarters

Youi Australia (Youi Pty Ltd) is a registered general insurance company, which began as a small star-up at Sunshine Coast in March 2008. Its products include motor, home, and watercraft insurance. The company experienced a rapid growth since its foundation. It takes more than 3 per cent market share in car and house insurance across Australia and New Zealand. The number of staff has expanded from 30 to over 900.

To accommodate its continuing growth, Youi decided to build their new global headquarters next to University of the Sunshine Coast at Sippy Downs. The new headquarters will span across 4.8 hectares, including 1800 car parks. The new office will house up to 2,000 workers, and become the home to all corporate positions including IT, marketing, and HR.

Good network infrastructure at the new headquarters should be capable of connecting all devices, offices, and staff. Youi understands this is a vital factor to support and enable its future growth. Therefore, it hopes to obtain a dependable plan for its network infrastructure before the actual construction work starts.
