Dns telecom, a converged telecommunications solutions company, today announced that AltX-listed Blue Financial Services (BFS) had commissioned them to provide for their complete telephony needs.
Dns telecom is installing IP-based PBXes within BFS at a rate of five per week in South Africa, but the project will include other African countries in due course. The system includes basic networking management, an integrated telephone management system as well as a networking solution for data integration.
“We chose to work with dns telecom since their proposal offered a more complete solution coupled with a comprehensive back-up call centre and the capability for remote access and support, as well as live monitoring,” commented Sam Brink of Blue Financial Services. “The individual installations are quick; the system comes with high functionality; and at a price that is extremely competitive.
“The solution we are offering is a fully automated one and is easily localisable for the differences between the various African countries,” added Douglas Pott, Technical Director of dns telecom. “The system is easily scalable and comes with built-in 'least cost routing'.”
Blue Financial Services was founded to provide a broad spectrum of services to an African market that faced serious deficiencies in the financial and housing arenas. The group currently has branches in 12 African countries, including Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia; with operations expected to commence shortly in Angola, Cameroon, Nigeria and Rwanda. Blue is a leading multinational provider of innovative credit solutions, and offers efficient and professional service to its clients through a vast network of over 175 branches and employing more than 1 700 staff members. Blue recently acquired FutureFinn and Credit U Holdings.
