- 8. Case Study - IBM merges data and telephony at a New Zealand
College to provide information on demand
- Business Challenge
- The NZ college had an outdated PABX system and network
- A wireless network and telephony solution was required to deliver education in various forms to provide teachers and 600 students the ability to work anywhere, anytime, without being attached to the network by a cable
- The solution had to be flexible and scalable to accommodate future applications like a multimedia laboratory and distance learning
- Solution
- IBM provided and installed, in conjunction with the College IT staff, a complete network infrastructure which included wireless converged voice and data, Business Partner IP Softphone hardware and software, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and firewall
- Benefits
- Teachers, staff and students have access to the information they require anywhere, when and where they need it.
- Cost savings provided by a Wireless solution which eliminates the requirement for rewiring and cabling.
- A converged IP network including Wireless LAN, installed with minimal downtime.
- A new telephony system which allows direct access to staff via an IP phone or email, eliminating the need to contact them via a receptionist.
- A new network infrastructure which possesses the flexibility to participate in new technologies in the future.
