In local government, no two days are the same.

You need connectivity that’s ready for anything, with the kind of support and security that won’t let staff or citizens down, wherever they are, whenever they need it.

A software-defined network (SDN) easily integrates with your existing systems and gives you central oversight of security and performance, so you can identify any issues and optimise apps in real time.

And because we provide both the network and the software in one solution, we can help you prioritise traffic and bandwidth where you need it most, making sure your digital services always feel slick and seamless.

Cloud collaboration allows employees to work together and collaborate on documents which are saved and synced to the cloud. The idea is to enable your people to share, edit, and view documents in real-time.

Cloud communication involves the use of internet-based services for communication purposes, including messaging, voice, and video calls. These services are delivered via cloud infrastructure, so are accessible from anywhere.

This refers to the delivery of voice communication services through the internet. It replaces traditional PBX systems with internet-based phone services hosted by a third-party provider.

Calls are made and received via the internet using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology. The cloud service provider manages the infrastructure, ensuring call routing, storage of voicemail, call recording, and other telephony features.

This refers to the use of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process local government data, rather than using local servers or personal computers.
