Press Release Body = Reading, Berks - 27 June 2006 - George Zaremba, CEO, AlwaysON, is to address the industry at Global Telecoms' Business' prestigious 'Networks in the 21st Century' event in London on Wednesday June 28, 2006.
Zaremba will discuss how businesses are screaming out for the services that BT's promised new network, 21CN, will deliver - now.
It takes a while to turn a moving juggernaut: organisations are simply unable to wait for the industry's 'big boys ' to deliver their network upgrades, leaving the playing field wide open for more agile service providers that have already made investments and gained vital experience. Zaremba will look at how these newer players are shaping up and their impact on the industry's landscape.
"Businesses tend to be regarded by operators as a cash cow," said Zaremba. "However, most businesses do not want to be stuck with an outmoded service. Increasingly they are demanding the ability to work with far greater freedom, aided by new technologies and services that are relevant to the business needs of the 21st century. I'm not sure that the bigger players are flexible enough to deliver this just yet. Companies like AlwaysON, by contrast, already are."
AlwaysON implemented its next generation network in 2000. It was first to market with an hosted IP Telephony service in 2002 and has gained the vital experience necessary to deliver business-class VoIP and data services to small and medium sized enterprises (smallest implementation five users, largest over 800).
"Implementing the technology is just the start," added Zaremba. "The real challenge is creating services and a delivery experience to meet the needs of demanding customers. When their technology finally reaches the right page, it will be the next hurdle for those 'big boys' to face."
Zaremba's presentation will be made available on-line from Monday July 3rd, 2006, at: www.alwaysongroup.com
