25.01.2022 Hello all! As we move into the next set of restrictions, the nerd herd is going to be operating at a limited capacity in our office. Unfortunately this means that we will be only opening our office by appointment, and will be scheduling drop off windows for equipment. Stay safe everyone.... If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to call us on 03 53177123 Cheers Luke, on behalf of the nerds.

24.01.2022 With the increase in calls as a result of so many of our clients working remotely we called in the reinforcements to help! Sadly they are only able to assist with Minecraft or YouTube related issues and are experienced veterans in this arena. They also have an issue with taking to many breaks but they are trying. #StaySafe

24.01.2022 The Lateral Plains Team working virtually with our own inhouse videoconferencing system :-) A dedicated service for GPs coming very soon.

23.01.2022 To our customers who were impacted by the sending email issue today in Office 365. Our apologies for those few that it did impact. As can be seen by the below screenshot, the issue seems it may have only been resolved an hour ago. Sometimes not even our nerds can get on top of world wide spread email issues, but we keep trying :) We will continue to monitor and if you have any queries, please feel free to contact the office.

23.01.2022 Not all heroes wear capes. Our co-founder, CFO and business manager Barbara Fernandez is one of the team who never stops to make sure our clients and stakeholders get what they need and that the team is getting what they need to deliver, especially now through this COVID-19 crisis. She may need to recharge batteries once in a while .......

23.01.2022 This Corona Virus Stuff. Do you know how to work remotely? Have you got the tools? Regardless if you are a client of ours or not, if you are running into issues, please let us know. We dont have a magic wand. We cant fix everything. But if we can help, please drop us a line. If we can we will help. Promise. Also friends in the industry who are trying to support their remote workforce clients, we can assist with emergency datacentre space and transit, happy to help out here. Feel free to reach out :)

23.01.2022 We are a proud local business, proud of the support we offer our local communities not just in IT/ICT services but the volunteer roles our executive maintain, the panels or boards we sit on, the mentoring roles or talks we give, Proud to be part of the community. So we wanted to find away that our entire team could give back. #LoveRegionalVictoria #ProudLocal #SupportLocal

03.01.2022 The team at Lateral Plains today will take a brief hiatus at 11am as a sign of respect and gratitude to all those whom have served/are serving their respective countries. #LestWeForget #Thankful In Flanders fields the poppies blow... Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. #RemeberanceDay2019
