Jasco Converged Solutions, a business unit within Jasco ICT Solutions, is aiming to refocus the ICT and telecoms service model firmly on the customer, addressing changing market needs with innovative, flexible solution offerings. In line with trends such as increasing demand for a move from capex to opex payment models, adoption of hosted services and cloud applications, mobility requirements, bring your own device (BYOD), and more, Converged Solutions delivers a full range of network-neutral managed telecoms and ICT services for the medium-sized to large enterprise, enabling organisations to take advantage of the latest technologies. These solutions can also be integrated with offerings from throughout the greater Jasco Group, delivering true end-to-end converged connectivity and communication solutions.
"Jasco Converged Solutions combines the expertise and focus of recently acquired ARC Telecoms with previous Jasco acquisitions, including Maringo Communications and the voice customer base of CAG. This offers an expanded set of resources, a consultative approach that moves beyond simple box-dropping services, and a footprint that now extends across South Africa and into the Eastern Cape. Together, these companies provide a unique and comprehensive skill set, which enables us to centre our offerings on our customers' needs with flexible services and solutions, allowing businesses to choose how they use and pay for these services," says Paven Chetty, Managing Executive at Jasco Converged Solutions.
Jasco Converged Solutions offers a single point of contact for a wide range of products, managed services and solutions, eliminating the complexity and sometimes problematic nature of multiple product and service providers. The combination of resources and skills enables the business unit to offer highly qualified sales teams with dedicated account managers, helping businesses in South and southern Africa to access the benefits of networks and next-generation network technologies. Coupled with this, Converged Solutions' network-neutral business model allows companies to select the most appropriate connectivity infrastructure on top of which they can avail of various ISP services, such as voice, data, managed networks and hosted solutions.
"We offer all of the solutions organisations of today need to make the most of their networks, facilitating a platform for businesses to realise the power of convergence. Leveraging other IP-dependent solutions available across the Jasco Group, such as contact centres, network infrastructure, data centre capabilities, security and surveillance, broadcasting and more, we bring true convergence to the ICT market, acting as a single service provider for a host of previously disparate technologies and services," says Chetty.
The Converged Solutions business is uniquely positioned to offer the care and attention to detail provided by small companies, with the backing of the Jasco Group as a parent company. This enables Converged Solutions to leverage the Group's power for better economies of scale, more cost-effective solutions and access to next-generation, leading edge technology solutions. These benefits are passed directly on to customers.
Using the combined skills of the new business unit and the strengths of the Jasco Group, Jasco Converged Solutions is able to offer customers optimised, innovative, cost-effective converged solutions to meet the demands of a changing technology environment.
