Voice and data specialist Azzurri is catalist approved for public sector telecoms procurement

Leading independent, converged voice and data specialist Azzurri Communications has recently announced five successful Catalist accreditations from the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) as part of the new Telecom Networks Framework. Azzurri is accredited for Infrastructure and Connectivity; Network Analysis and Billing Audit Services; Networking Equipment; Voice Calls and Lines; and Third Party Maintenance. Each accreditation enables UK public bodies to benefit from simplified procurement of Azzurri’s extensive telecoms solutions.

With protocols such as pre-approved terms and conditions in place, the Catalist accreditation enables public organisations to either find a trusted partner, like Azzurri, directly from the Catalist website, or invite a select number of accredited suppliers to tender so ensuring competitive pricing and best service for public bodies.

Azzurri’s extensive knowledge and experience spans the public sector, with customers including Bolton Primary Care Trust, Derbyshire County Council, Barnsley Direct General Hospital and University College London Hospitals. Azzurri’s understanding of the sector’s requirements contributed significantly to receiving the accreditations, as Jason Standerwick, Sales and Marketing Director explains;

“This is a rigorous process of assessment into all aspects of Azzurri’s business credentials, evaluated in areas critical to the public sector such as environmental compliance, security and our pricing mechanisms. Our experience of working closely with public sector customers certainly assisted with our successful application for these accreditations and we are delighted to be recognised as a leading provider in this space.”

Azzurri specialises in converged networks that offer a combination of cabling, wireless technology, routers, switches, servers, operating systems and applications. To make sense of this landscape organisations need to partner with a company, like Azzurri, that has specialist skills in each individual technology area and partnerships with world-leading communication companies such as Avaya, BT, Cisco, Microsoft and Mitel.

Having the right technology solution is important as converged IP networks are complex. But, the risks for implementation are high if not managed properly so reliable and effective project management skills are also vital for a successful implementation. Azzurri design, install and maintain integrated data and voice systems so that organisations get the maximum benefits for their business.
