Paper Reclaim dumps their PSTN
Challenge
Paper Reclaim had limited data connectivity between their two Auckland sites and a poor performing Internet connection out to the wider world. They wanted to install Fibre at each location to provide improved reliability and speed, and as an enabler for additional company wide application use. There was also a requirement to upgrade their old traditional PBX phone system.
Solution
The Fibre and phone system solution had to be cost effective and financially viable for Paper Reclaim. Digital Island’s SIP trunk service provided significant cost savings over their existing traditional voice platform. These savings justified the investment in a new fibre solution for both Paper Reclaim sites, and provided the opportunity to purchase a new IP PBX phone system with greatly improved functionality.

Customer Quote
"Paper Reclaim needed faster more reliable connectivity between our sites. By dumping our costly existing voice solution and installing a Digital Island SIP Trunk we were able to justify the investment in fibre connections and a new IP PBX with enhanced functionality. Our business is ready for the future!"

The case for PSTN vs SIP and how you can benefit
The business case for SIP: Free up monthly costs and use them to invest in modern infrastructure.
A typical traditional phone system set up often looks like this:
This second diagram shows how using Unified Communications (UC) you calls are routed via the internet. This solution is high quality business grade - not like skype etc, which can suffer quality issues:
The Dollars: Listed below in black are the actual costs being paid by a company Digital Island recently migrated to SIP, and in the green their monthly rates moving forward. You will notice the significant savings, which can then be used toward a new PBX or other ITC projects.

Moving up from ADSL saves money
Challenge
One of our large tertiary college customers, who had enjoyed the cost effectiveness of a simple ADSL solution with a large data cap (200GB) started to experience difficulties, both in terms of speed and data consumption, with their entire allowance being burned through very early in the month.
As a result of a very simple investigation we quickly discovered the college had recently been very successful in doubling their student numbers! With all students having internet access via PCs, Laptops and various smart phones the internet connection was quickly becoming overwhelmed.
Solution
For a relatively small uplift in the monthly rate, Digital Island installed a 5Mbps synchronous HSNS internet access circuit for the coming academic year, and combined with 5 Mbps unlimited national access/1Mbps international access.
Benefits
The students can now look forward to high speed browsing, super fast facebook and even perhaps a bit of learning!
