('Calyx' or 'the Company')
Calyx Signs Supplier Agreement with BT
Calyx, the largest single-source provider of information and communication
technology ('ICT') network solutions throughout Ireland, is today pleased to
announce the signing of a supplier agreement with BT Ireland ('BT'), the wholly
owned subsidiary of BT Group plc one of the world's leading providers of
communications solutions.
Under the terms of the agreement Calyx and BT will provide an ICT solution to
small and medium enterprises ('SME') across Ireland. The solution, called
Exchange, is the only office communications solution of its kind in Ireland that
bundles the communications requirements of SMEs into one package for a fixed
monthly price. The new service includes a VoIP enabled-telephone system;
handsets; broadband and/or ISDN access; line rental; voice service; software
updates and a comprehensive technical support and maintenance agreement.
The agreement between Calyx and BT expands on the already existing business
relationship between the two companies and will result in a joint marketing
drive to business customers. Under the terms of the agreement BT will provide
the SME customers with connectivity whilst Calyx will install the communication
systems and maintain it for at least three years.
The advantages of outsourcing a complete communication solution through one
supplier allows small and medium businesses in Ireland to identify better cost
management including greater transparency of telecom charges, and allows
businesses to concentrate on their core business.
Maurice Healy, Chief Executive of Calyx commented;
'We are very pleased that BT has decided to partner us on this new ICT solution.
The growing SME market in Ireland has highlighted the need for a focused yet
innovative information and communication solution which also allows them to keep
a simple monthly control on charges. With the support of BT we are very excited
about this new service which will be available to our customers immediately.'
