Telecommunications
Creating New Data Services
Most telecommunications companies believe that their most valuable asset is their network. Until now, they have been locked into established business strategies that do not open services provided by their networks to new industry sectors. The fundamental problem has been a failure to adopt new thinking with respect to their networks and access points. New data services can be created thereby unlocking tremendous cost savings for new industry sectors and exploiting the value of the network asset. Using new technologies, telecoms can create reliable, easy-to-implement and secure new data services for new customer groups.
Networked IT Outsourcing
What should companies do to create value for their community of users? The objective should be to provide a true 'value-add' service and not create a 'locked-in' or non-competitive environment. The use of networked IT outsourcing is one of the company's key strategic decisions going forward. There are many choices available today. The application best practice benchmarks and creation of the appropriate RFPs are the hallmarks of prudent management. The essence of networked IT outsourcing is risk management - and that calls for expertise.
Global Worker Connectivity
The ability to deliver critical information in-place, on-time and without complexity is today's challenge. All global teams must have information in the right information, delivered to the right place, at the right time to be able to do their jobs, properly and safely. The correct choice of infrastructure and technologies is at the heart of the challenge. The payout is the reduced costs associated with access to information to meet the needs of the modern global environment.
Secure Aviation Messaging Services
Since 1949, the aviation industry have used legacy protocol messaging to facilitate the movement of data between legacy host computers and applications. Until now, the industry has been locked into two legacy network providers or even managed their own expensive dedicated or dialup access lines to interface their applications to their own or their partners hosts. With global telecom networks deploying advanced MPLS networks and using proven secure aviation messaging services, the aviation industry can finally unlock tremendous cost savings through alternative, competitive solutions.
