Following a five-year plan of strategic reorientation and investments started in 2011, Telindus Luxembourg has decided to partner with Cisco, the worldwide leader in networking and communications.
“This partnership is really important to us as our existing customers will directly benefit from it: as a matter of fact we will meet the market’s demands in terms of flexibility, mobility and cost reduction. It also enables us to offer key collaborative features such as unified and instant messaging, HD video conferencing, office and applications sharing on a single platform. What makes our solution stand out, is that we are bringing in our expertise and strong ICT know-how as an integrator, and Cisco brings in its undisputed leadership in advanced communication platforms”, explains Gérard Hoffmann, Chairman and Managing Director, Telindus Luxembourg.
A number of key advantages
As a result of a successful combination between advanced collaborative tools, delivered by a powerful cloud platform,
U-touch allows companies to benefit from a number of advantages:
- Cost saving: Companies can reduce infrastructure costs (CAPEX).
- 24/7 support: The technical support is available around the clock. Upgrades are managed centrally, in the cloud.
- Agility & Flexibility: Communication tools always in line with business needs.
- Compatibility with existing structures and systems.
- Scalability: Easily manage changing number of users.
- Security: The platform is managed by an accredited Professional of the Financial Sector (Telindus).
“The Cisco unified communications applications associated with the Telindus cloud platform create an efficient and secure environment. Our solutions are based on next generation technologies and current business needs. We have noticed that more and more companies, even in the financial and banking sectors, usually well known for their reluctance to outsource technology, are looking into external cloud solutions. What they need is strong and performing collaborative tools that will enhance their mobility, flexibility and are real time savers”, says Romain Siebenaler, Country Manager, Cisco Luxembourg.
Two musts: Video on Demand and immersive TelePresence
The use of video in the workspace is a growing trend that enables companies to communicate more easily with customers located both in and outside Luxembourg. One of the tools proposed by U-touch is Video-as-a-service. The video call can be delivered to any type of screen and mobile device. “The immersive TelePresence service is a must for companies looking to save time and travel costs.
