Ribbon Communications optimizes healthcare communications
Ribbon Communications is a communications software, IP and optimal networking program provider for service providers, enterprises and critical infrastructure sectors. It not only sells the platforms and software but assists with implementation, helping to modernize and improve their competitive positioning.
The calling environment Anglicare used before was complex, involving call centre resources and multiple different communication technologies. The company needed to centralize voice services and consolidate the technologies used for twenty-four major sites and its call centre. The site by site deployment allowed for interoperability between old and new systems, while keeping organizations operational at all times.
“We are delighted to be able to play a part in helping Anglicare modernise its communications infrastructure and be a part of a highly secure and reliable communications system to connect residents, family members, staff and Anglicare’s support teams,” said Manny Christophidis, channels director, Asia Pacific, Ribbon Communications.
The planned migration to Microsoft Teams for corporate services is being provided by SwitchConnect. SwitchConnect’s specialty is complex deployments of voice services with clients managing a complicated combination of legacy technologies, and more cloud and unified communication technologies.
