Less cost, hassle & paper with new 'green' solution, says Infosys

IT Industry - Market

Infosys’ global head of sales and marketing, Subhash Dhar, says The Communications Hub is available as a fully managed service, which he says offers “the advantages of a guaranteed cost per communication, an operating expense model rather than a capital investment, and the flexibility to quickly scale operations up or down as business requirements change.

“Because Infosys assumes the responsibility for providing communications at an agreed price – managing the people and processes as well as technology – this fully managed service offers large organisations, such as financial institutions and telecommunications providers, additional cost savings and risk mitigation.

“Converting fixed into variable costs is an absolutely critical strategy for businesses looking to thrive in a downturn,” Dhar says, and he reckons The Communications Hub is a “smart way for Australian businesses to control risk and build in rapid scalability as conditions change – something we call ‘Winning in the Turns’.”

For companies that prefer not to use the managed services approach, Infosys says The Communications Hub is also available as a licensed system operated by either the customer or Infosys.
