Voice and data

20 years ago, a phone was a phone. A video, a video. Today, they’re a single device, and we don’t give it a moment’s thought. So why should communications in your business be any different?

Voice

Moving to a converged IT communications network with Managed Networks (which means one that digitally carries both voice and data) makes commercial sense. IT comms offers the potential of significant cost savings; of faster decisions because decision-makers are easier to get hold of for employees and customers; and of letting applications that link voice and data together, such as VoIP, simply work.

Managed Networks is an Avaya Business Partner offering Avaya's IP Office, an intelligent voice and data communications solution specially designed for small and midsized businesses. IP Office lets people do more and work together more easily and efficiently (take for example using video-conferencing to work on a complex tender when a number of stakeholders need to see the changes). You can improve processes and customer satisfaction at a stroke. It’s also easy to add new users in wide-spread locations, for example by turning their mobile phone into an IP Office extension. And it takes only about the same time to set up as it does to have a cup of coffee.

We're also launching a Cloud-based telephony service as an adjunct to our DesktopLive and DesktopLive+ services. Contact us if you'd like more details on this exciting development, offering full landline phone functionality from your desk, PC, laptop or smartphone, anywhere in the world for a simple monthly rental per user with low call charges.
 

Data
We’ve been around since “internet connection” meant dial-up and “leased line” meant 64kb/s (about 1/128th of today’s DSL speeds). In that time, we’ve seen the emergence of a forest of acronyms and competing technologies. So whether you need a single connection to the Internet or a comprehensive managed WAN, let us help you choose the right solution from the right provider.

We work with Easynet, exponential-e, Metronet, Urban WiMax, FluiData and MDNX, so we’re certain to have the right availability wherever you are in the UK.
