Save time and money for human resource development and recruitment
Use “IT Outsourcing” to grow business

When companies want to implement new IT systems or expand their use, their standard approach is to have their IT specialists collaborate with people in operations. However, all too often, the IT department is already at capacity dealing with existing business challenges and lack the time to consider new initiatives – and they may not even have the right skills. At the same time, the pressure is on to strengthen IT capabilities due to the rise in cybersecurity risks and new regulations for protecting personal information.

In order to solve these problems, companies must acquire people with the appropriate skills. However, human resources development and recruitment can take a lot of time and money.

These are just a few reasons why more companies are considering IT Outsourcing.
FUJIFILM Business innovation Corp. is dedicated to solving these customer problems by offering products and services that support organisations to meet their ongoing IT challenges.

COVID-19 anxiety spurred an increase in calls that needed to be answered – even in lockdown

Lifeline had been receiving about 8,000 calls each month, but with the COVID-19 pandemic, the number jumped to about 10,000. Texts (received and sent) soared to around 30,000. People call Lifeline for a variety of reasons including the loss of jobs and income, fear of infection, insecurity and isolation. Lockdown increased people’s stress and anxiety with many needing extra support. The Lifeline team was also facing the same stresses that other people faced.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the New Zealand Government announced measures to limit social interaction throughout the country starting 25 March, 2020. This announcement was made on 23 March, 2020, less than 48 hours before the lockdown.

At the time, the Lifeline system was not ready to support remote working environments for an increased number of staff. Their staff members understood the seriousness of the lockdown announcement and wanted to be able to communicate with people in need.

The FUJIFILM CodeBlue team supported a remote work system that allowed all staff to answer calls and texts from home. FUJIFILM CodeBlue informed Lifeline that they could use their remote working environments with the same level of system access, security, and flexibility as in the office.

－－Daniel
What really helped us in this tight deadline was that we knew Lifeline's needs and operations from our ongoing relationship, so we were able to get started immediately. Because of our long-term relationship, we were able to build a sophisticated security system quickly.

Lifeline Operations Manager Helena de Fontenay explains her experience.

－－Helena
We were very thankful that FUJIFILM CodeBlue helped us by setting up our new systems before our teams had to go home.

They promised us the same security as when we worked in the office. We also really appreciated the timely responses to questions about the new way of workingfrom our 70 staff who worked from home during the lockdown.

Daniel McIvor echoed the sentiments of the entire FUJIFILM CodeBlue team, “We were honored to support the community with you.”

Lifeline continues to offer remote working, and Helena wants to share this option with other telephone counselling services around the world.

－－Helena
Now that we are able to work remotely, the job tasks for staff and volunteers are no longer dictated by an office. We can work in the early morning or at irregular hours, and when we have an unexpected spike in the number of calls, we can simply ask, “Can anyone pitch in?” and we can support each other.

IT cannot replace people,
but IT can connect many

Fujifilm continues to apply its technology and expertise in photographic film to address the challenges of new fields. As a result, the company has now diversified its business with expertise in healthcare, high-performance materials, and business innovation*2. And, like in this instance, one of the jobs is to use IT solutions to connect people isolated from society.

The support from FUJIFILM CodeBlue didn’t stop once the new way of working was established. FUJIFILM CodeBlue and other providers work with Lifeline to ensure a sustainable, long term remote working solution. This ensures that Lifeline is able to be flexible in its response to future interruptions such as severe weather events or pandemics.

－－Daniel
In this case, we were able to implement Fujifilm’s IT solutions because of the strong desire of the people involved to continue providing social support during the lockdown. IT can never replace people. However, IT can modify the way we work and help connect people in new ways.
This is also a case in which we were able to reaffirm the importance of long-term relationships with customers. We hope to continue providing services that are ongoing commitments to the challenges our clients face, where we accompany them on their journey, rather than a one-and-done system installation or maintenance task.
