Communications Solution Simplifies Time Management at Telecom Equipment Firm

Overview

Tellabs designs, develops, deploys, and supports wireless and wireline network solutions. Tellabs employees had no integration between their e-mail and calendar and faced difficulties in accessing their e-mail from remote locations. In response, Tellabs deployed a new communications solution featuring Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, which is helping people manage their calendars effectively and stay connected when working remotely. The standardized solution has helped provide a framework that enables the company to integrate acquisitions faster and support global operations. The solution was estimated to have a net present value of U.S. $2 million based on the benefits and costs of deployment.
