Collaboration, Service innovation and Creduction: Lotus and websphere portal software for telecommunications service providers | 2009-07-01 | IBM |
| In recent years, the telecommunications landscape has shifted dramatically. And the changes continue to rush in from all directions. New players taking advantage of the global Internet are flooding the marketplace and commoditizing services. These disruptors release new offerings far faster than the time frame that traditional communication service providers have historically taken to launch new, value-added services. Scores of subscribers are switching from traditional land-line services to new service options available over high-speed Internet. And many are dropping landlines altogether in favor of wireless services. This executive brief examines the forces that are shaping the telecommunications landscape, and the role collaboration technologies can play in overcoming service challenges and reining in costs.

Company Taps Strengths of Microsoft Partners and Cuts Costs With Unified Communications | 2009-05-01 | Microsoft |
| Texas-based RealPage, a leading provider of on-demand software and services to the multifamily industry, serves more than 3,000 customers. When RealPage discovered it would cost more than U.S.$60,000 to replace its aging voice-mail system, the company sought a more comprehensive communications solution that included e-mail, voice, and conferencing features. Working with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner The VIA Group, RealPage deployed a solution based on Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2, along with Jabra headsets from GN Netcom. As a result, RealPage gained an efficient unified communications solution that is expected to deliver considerable cost savings. And, by deploying a joint solution from Microsoft partners, RealPage accelerated the deployment and minimized the risks of adopting a new communications solution.

Deliver Optimal Service Quality and Experience | 2007-12-19 | IBM |
| Traditionally, telecommunications providers evaluate service using metrics about the underlying network infrastructure to derive an indication of the overall health of each revenue-generating service they deliver. But as technologies mature, the types of available services rise sharply. Because today's services are highly complex, and run over virtual network paths, they are no longer closely tied to individual pieces of infrastructure hardware. As a result, providers need a different approach and a different set of tools to understand service quality and the customer experience. So, providers not only have to incorporate new technologies to launch new services  they must employ new techniques to measure the distinct metrics of each.

Institute Opens Lines of Communication With 3Com IP Telephony Solution | 2009-01-01 | 3Com |
| The Sunraysia Institute of TAFE is the major provider of vocational education and training in northwestern Victoria. The Sunraysia campus at Mildura had been relying on a leased PBX system for its telephone communications. This 20-year-old system lease cost the organization tens of thousands of dollars each year in addition to expensive ongoing maintenance and technical support fees. Not only was it costly to maintain, the outdated phone system was not designed to accommodate the increasing communications requirements of a busy multi-campus organization. The Institute worked with local channel partner ASI Solutions for advice and implementation support and chose 3Com IP telephony solution.
