T-Systems in Italy Leverages Comverse Converged IP Communications to Deliver Hosted Business Services

T-Systems in Italy, the business customer brand of Deutsche Telekom (NYSE: DT), has deployed Comverse IPCentrex™ to deliver hosted business services to Interporto Campano, a major transportation hub in the Naples region of southern Italy. As a major supplier of single-sourced integrated information and communication technology, T-Systems turned to Comverse’s IP Communications to serve more than 1,000 SMEs (small and medium enterprises) at the Interporto Campano site.

“Our selection of Comverse was based on its extensive IP communications experience, and proven solutions supporting large VPN network deployments,” said Federico Protto, Head of Telecommunication Services of T-Systems in Italy. “The Comverse Converged IPCentrex solution has enabled us to gain a reputation as one of the most innovative providers of Class 5 telephony-over-IP (ToIP) and wireless services for large, medium and small enterprises in Italy. The Interporto deployment has been such a success that we plan on bringing this model to other business centers around the country using the same platform.”

Converged IPCentrex enables service providers to offer a full range of fixed and mobile business communication services for enterprises of all types and sizes. The services can be tailored to different employee work styles, increasing enterprise productivity and cost-efficiency. By using Converged IPCentrex, service providers from different markets can tap into the higher ARPU business market and provide the full range of communication services, including mobility with dual-mode Wi-Fi/cellular devices, voice, video, SMS, presence/IM and a network address book, at a fraction of the cost of legacy PBX systems.

“T-Systems leveraged the Comverse solution to develop a high-end, comprehensive all-over-IP solution for the whole Interporto Campano campus,” commented Benny Einhorn, President of Comverse EMEA. “Technologically innovative and flexible, the solution enabled T-Systems to meet or exceed customer expectations. We are proud to play an important part in this transformation of the business communication landscape in Europe.”
