ICT infrastructure and ethernet specialists partner to provide Advanced Technologies
Australia's leading Ethernet provider Uecomm has announced an exciting new partnership with global ICT infrastructure specialist Getronics.
The relationship is expected to provide Advanced Technologies (including IP Telephony and VoIP) and has been established to meet the increasingly high demand of large and small Australian enterprises to have scalable bandwidth and high speed telecommunications and data networks.
Traditionally, organisations have run their voice and data traffic on separate networks yet according to Brendan Park, Uecomm Director of Strategy, as business communication needs have developed, many organisations are finding it increasingly complex and time consuming to maintain, upgrade and manage multiple networks.
"IP Telephony eliminates these problems by enabling the convergence of voice and data networks onto a single, common infrastructure; this creates a more manageable, productive and cost-effective solution to business communications," Mr Park commented.
"We know that in the right situation, IP Telephony brings rewards above and beyond purely cost savings: it also facilitates important business changes, drivers and initiatives by enabling emerging technologies."
IP Telephony is a term often interchanged with voice over IP (VoIP), yet IP Telephony refers to voice conversations that are connected via IP data networks, whilst VoIP is more about the physical process of transmitting voice across a packet network.
"We are delighted to have created this strategic partnership with Uecomm," said Rob McCabe, Manager Converged Communications Practice.
"The partnership set-up is simple and advantageous to both our client groups. Uecomm will deliver data telecommunications services and voice telecommunications services, whilst Getronics will deliver and implement the Advanced Technology Solution."
