SBC Communications was awarded a multimillion-dollar, five-year contract to replace the University of Notre Dame’s Centrex-based network with a hosted IP telephony service connecting approximately 7,000 users on the university’s main campus and in remote offices scattered across the country. The service will provide faculty and administrative staff a range of productivity-enhancing features, such as a single inbox for voice and e-mail messages, “click-to-call” functionality from computers, and “find me, follow me” call routing options, all accessible via personalized Web pages.
SBC is currently offering its hosted IP telephony service in 69 metropolitan areas nationwide. http://www.sbc.com
