One of SA`s largest distributors of prepaid airtime, The Pre-Paid Company, which distributes on behalf of all four national networks, has selected Integr8 IT as its trusted IT advisors and complete IT partner to ensure full connectivity, security, full network and infrastructure management and support.
Pre-Paid first established itself in the prepaid voucher market after having successfully bid for a Telkom licence. The company has embarked on a strategy to further entrench its service offering and eventually dominate the virtual/electronic environment.
With this in mind, The Pre-Paid Company sought to partner with a recognised, established and renowned player within the network and ICT infrastructure arena. According to The Pre-Paid Company, Integr8 IT has truly proven itself in terms of professionalism, skills, service and commitment, and in its opinion, is a renowned industry leader.
According to The Pre-Paid Company CEO Mark Pamensky, Integr8 IT has provided a number of services with continuous support from its on-site contractor. These include software upgrades, the installation of a Windows 2003 Terminal Services server for remote access, the installation of MTN line for connectivity, an ISA server firewall, e-Trust SCM for network protection and Brightstor backup for data backups. It has also chosen to standardise on pure Intel hardware.
"Our latest project, the upgrade to Windows 2003, has been a great success due to Integr8 IT`s constant level of high standards and services, and the absolute enthusiasm of their staff. There is a definite increase in productivity and reliability, and we have experienced less downtime. There has been a definite decrease in total cost of ownership and an increase in value-add from the business perspective," says Pamensky.
Louis Botha, Manager: Consulting Services Division at Integr8 IT, says the Pre-Paid Company relies on robust infrastructure and managed services to effectively reach its target market.
"We believe in the benefit of proactive on-site support together with experienced onsite outsourced contractors because it allows the company to concentrate on its core business and keep focused on its main objectives. In this case, this has helped us to successfully provide the level of connectivity and support required by the Pre-Paid Company. As an established operator within the telecommunications market, reliable networking infrastructure is an absolute must."
