Ufi appoints THUS
Published:  16 December, 2008

Ufi, the organisation behind government e-learning provider learndirect, has appointed THUS, a Cable&Wireless business, to deliver a six site MPLS IP VPN network for all of the organisation's data, internet and corporate systems, enhanced by a national ethernet solution between two key sites in Sheffield. 

Learndirect uses technology to transform the skills and employability of the population, both through courses for individuals and workforce training for employers, to improve the UK's productivity. To achieve this goal, and to maximise its service efficiency, it needs to deploy a communication network that is robust and flexible.

The communication solution was chosen by Ufi as a direct result of THUS' track record of delivering voice services to the organisation, combined with its extensive experience of delivering innovative converged network solutions for a wide range of organisations. The solution builds upon THUS' Direct Voice, Calls & Lines and Number Translation Services, rolled out to Ufi in Autumn 2007, and equips them with a robust and reliable converged next-generation network tailored to meet and exceed its current and future needs.

The network will carry all data and internet traffic, with inbuilt security, resilience and scalability enabling additional services to be incorporated as the company moves forward.

Mark Carrick, ICT Services Manager at Ufi, commented:  "THUS' national next-generation network, backed up by strong support from its dedicated account team and a track record of delivering advanced services for customers, convinced us that THUS was the right choice to move our network onto a converged platform.  We are certain that this network solution will cater for our needs now and grow with us in the future."
