TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
AT&T Inc. recently announced a new contract with Stockton, California-based Premier Community Credit Union, a financial services provider. The deal calls for AT&T to provide Network-based Virtual Private Network (NVPN) services, utilizing Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology, and support services to provide increased bandwidth and full maintenance support to Premier Community Credit Union's six branch locations.
"We were in search of a dependable provider to upgrade our bandwidth and improve security within our voice and data network," said Jeanine Morse, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Premier Community Credit Union. "We are certain that the solutions provided by AT&T will improve our quality of service and secure our voice and data environment."
The new services would improve network continuity and support advanced applications, resulting in overall improvements to customer service. Additionally, these services will provide amplified security and network redundancy, affording Premier Community Credit Union a secure environment for data transactions across its network.
"Credit unions want and need an affordable, secure and reliable means of meeting members' increasing demand for sophisticated financial services," said Robin MacGillivray, president, Business Communications Services, AT&T. "Premier Community's motto, 'We're here for you', is a reflection of their commitment to meeting those demands. We're pleased they've chosen AT&T as their primary voice and data services provider. Our solution will enable them to offer reliable enhanced services, with the increased security they need, and peace of mind they can pass on to their members."
AT&T Inc. recently announced a similar deal from Jarden Corp., a provider of niche consumer products. Jarden awarded AT&T a $2.4 million, three-year networking contract 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.
