AT&T Consolidates Jarden's Data Net
TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
Telecom giant AT&T Inc. recently announced that it was awarded a $2.4 million networking service contract with Jarden Corp. Jarden, a provider of niche consumer products, awarded AT&T a three-year agreement for data, voice hosting and Internet access services, as the company experiences a group networking expansion.
Under the terms of the agreement AT&T will provide an Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) integrating more than Jarden's 30 facilities and providing the company’s employees secure online access to proprietary business applications.
In addition to networking services, AT&T will provide Internet connectivity both in the United States and abroad, hosting services for Jarden corporate applications, conference services and long-distance voice service.
Through the secure AT&T BusinessDirect portal, Jarden will get around-the-clock online access to real-time reports on network performance and direct connection to electronic billing and trouble management systems.
AT&T made news last week when it scored a similar deal from The Parksite Group, an employee-owned building-material distributor. The telecom giant made the announcement this week. According to the three-year, $1.8 million contract, AT&T will provide Parksite with data and voice networking and hosting services. The new network will integrate the distributor's 17 locations throughout the United States. The system features VoIP capabilities, and the Parksite also plans to implement AT&T videoconference services.
