PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, June 18, 2009 - Digicel Business has announced a strategic cooperative relationship with Cisco to deliver the most advanced communications products on the market to businesses in Trinidad & Tobago. The Digicel IP (Internet Protocol) network - which has been designated a Cisco Powered Network - will deliver innovative products and services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Mobility Solutions, making it possible for customers to communicate in the way they want - whether at home, at work, or on the road.
By collaborating with Cisco, Digicel Business is reinforcing its promise of delivering service, savings, solutions and security to its business customers. Businesses will also have access to a competitive, market-leading portfolio of services from Digicel using the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series, which combines all forms of business communications into a single, unified system that provides powerful new ways to collaborate across any workspace. This unified approach, in turn, accelerates decision-making, allows innovation across the value chain and allows for integration of applications by combining the latest wired and wireless technologies that can save a customer up to 40% on current bills.
Digicel Sales Director Chris Hayman said: "This collaboration reinforces Digicel Business as the number one service provider in Trinidad & Tobago. It is the first step towards rolling out an advanced communications system that will offer businesses a one-stop shop for their communications needs. Cisco is the perfect partner to help us deliver these services."
Humberto Pereyra, general manager for Cisco in the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean region, commented: "By working together with Digicel Business to deliver world-class services over its state-of-the-art network, we can help the citizens and businesses of Trinidad & Tobago enjoy the power of collaboration, which allows them to communicate, regardless of where they are located. We are looking forward to working together to develop region wide solutions that will increase productivity and help customers compete effectively on a global scale."
