Commander Communications has signed a deal to provide a voice and data system for kitchen and laundry retailer Kleenmaid. The contract follows an earlier deal where Commander provided an end-to-end IP solution in December 2006.

The Commander, Nortel system used Nortel IP PBX equipment and with the deployment of a Nortel CS1000S PABX system, IP handsets, contact centre software, voicemail and voice recording system created a contact centre inKleenmaid's head office.

The new national IP network will link Kleenmaid's new head office in Maroochydore and its data centre in Brisbane as well as the 34 retail outlets across Australia. The single, converged solution involves more than voice. The OneStream MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) network and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) VoIP Softswitch form a converged platform for business critical voice and data.

The system operates as a national converged IP VPN with OneStream Phone Lines and traditional Phone Lines at the retail stores

Steve Evans, group general manager enterprise, Commander Communications, said: "Kleenmaid's brand promise is ‘The Best You Can Own' - a philosophy that reflects as much in the business solutions Kleenmaid chooses as it does in the quality of products they sell to customers."

David Ingram-Johnson, IT Manager, Kleenmaid: said "Kleenmaid has enjoyed a successful relationship with Commander with a very robust data network and the implementation of an IP based PABX system."

"Selecting Commander to provide a converged telecommunications network is the next logical step towards providing a converged technology platform to our users. The converged network provides greater data bandwidth to all our stores along with improved telephony call rates.

"Initially 15 of our 34 stores nationally will enjoy access to significantly higher bandwidth which will allow us to consider the delivery of additional functional benefits including content management, IP telephony (providing free inter-office calls), in store cameras and video conferencing," said Ingram-Johnson.
