Facing a Real-Life Issue: Upgrading Outdated Communications Systems | 2006-11-01 01:00:28 | Panasonic |
| Using an obsolete communications system can be dangerous, as learned by a rapidly growing city just north of Nashville, Tennessee. The city's communication system, which covered all municipal functions, such as police, fire, water, and more, needed to be replaced due to the difficulty of obtaining parts and appropriate service for their aging system - and with the growing population, the importance of upgrading was highlighted. The city needed a unified phone system that would seamlessly connect multiple sites, and consolidate multiple systems - but keeping cost and ease-of-implementation in mind.
Fast forward to post-upgrade: common technology, such as centralized voice mail, direct extensions, and wireless/desktop phones, is now experienced - but cost effectively. In addition to these benefits, vital security was increased across the city with the implementation of door-opener cards for employees and key city leaders. This white paper takes a look at the issues originally faced, which are still faced by many businesses today, and details the cost-effective and secure solutions selected, along with an overview of its easy implementation. |

ING DIRECT Banks on Sprint to Deliver Continuously Reliable, Secure Service | 2006-09-09 01:00:12 | Sprint |
| This case study discusses how Sprint, powered by Cisco Systems, provides a secure and reliable solution for Wide Area Networking for INC Direct Bank, which primarily does business over the Internet and remotely over the phone in a 24x7 mode. Any service outages severely affect ING Bank's business model, so their requirement was to find a highly responsive and trusted partner with a network that was IP based, isolated from the public Internet, and highly reliable but would provide business continuity in case of natural disasters or external events affecting the network. With Sprint, ING Bank found a consultant and partner with a private IP network that provides the high level of responsiveness, integrity, and security they required. Also Sprint provided value-added managed security services at affordable cost, which allowed them to keep their own operational costs low--and pass savings on to their customers. | |||
