RACV chooses NEC Australia to upgrade its voice and data networks


NEC Australia has announced it has signed a five-year contract with the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) to upgrade the organisation’s existing data and voice networks across all of its sites – Operational Headquarters, two Club locations in Melbourne and Healesville,  resorts in Victoria and Queensland (6) and retail outlets (40) – supporting over 2500 employees.

Over a two-year implementation period, NEC Australia will progressively replace RACV’s existing telecommunications network infrastructure with state-of-the-art voice and data services.

The implementation forms a key part of RACV’s telecommunications services strategy that aims to add member value, improve operational efficiency and reduce ICT costs through improved communications capabilities.
Martin Byrne, RACV’s General Manager of Information Technology and Telecommunications said: “RACV required a communications technology supplier that had experience in rolling out large scale deployments that were significantly complex and varied in terms of technology.

“After a public tender process NEC was chosen to provide a solution that met RACV’s business needs and ensured we continue to provide excellent service to our members.  NEC’s solution also allows for a phased implementation approach that is flexible enough to change as our business needs change.”

NEC Australia’s Managing Director, Alan Hyde said: “NEC has devised a fit-for-purpose ICT solution for RACV which will improve the organisation’s efficiency and productivity, and reduce costs. Our robust and reliable voice and data equipment facilitates RACV’s long-term telecommunications roadmap, which will be fully supported locally by NEC Australia.” For more information visit NEC Australia at http://nec.com.au/News-Media/Media-Centre/Media-Releases/racv-chooses-nec-australia-to-upgrade-its-voice-and-data-networks-.html
