Presented
with a choice, all organisations choose
the most reliable and cost effective method
for their intra-company communications and
external connectivity needs. Since all organisations,
business needs, locations, staff and budgets
are different, there is no single best solution.
AfriConnect will take account
of a client’s overall needs and long
term objectives to recommend the best combination
of technologies, service providers, and
their integration with existing systems.
Integration of voice, websites
and the creation of intranets will require
further system design, but the basic network
elements remain the same. |
