IS has a proud history of driving business efficiency through innovative communications solutions. We enable our clients to do better business by providing converged communications solutions that address business needs clearly.

 

IS' communications business unit encompasses Voice over IS (VoIS), VoIS Mobile and Application solutions, providing you with a holistic solution for all communications needs, whilst driving savings.

 

The VoIS Solution sets provide South Africa’s leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions. Launched in September 2005, VoIS has grown to deliver hundreds of millions of minutes per annum for corporate South Africa. Our clients include leading blue-chip businesses along with large public sector organisations and many call centre operations which rely heavily on VoIP solutions.

 

VoIP will soon overtake traditional Least Cost Routing (LCR) solutions as interconnect rates between operators have come under pressure from industry players like Internet Solutions; the regulator and Government. We pride ourselves in having the most robust network in the country, allowing us to provide clients with a Telco-grade voice infrastructure on our next-generation network (NGN) that enables reliable, redundant and highly available VoIP solutions that make business sense.

 

Our VoIS services have recently expanded to include our VoIS Mobile product set. This solution enables corporate users to bypass the mobile network operators for calls originating within their wireless local area network (WLAN) and terminating at any other wireless or Wi-Fi networks connected to IS. This includes our Wi-Fi hotspot network which covers over 750 locations.

 

The third and longest standing solution set is our range of centrally hosted application solutions. These solutions focus on corporate-grade mail solutions leveraging the expertise of Microsoft and other best-of-breed providers. We offer corporate e-mail functionality including mail filter, anti-spam, calendaring and archiving functionality. Other application solutions are fax-to-e-mail services, bulk SMS solutions and web-conferencing.

 

Our goal is to work towards integrating the above solutions to offer a full set of unified communication services as a single provider to enterprise, wholesalers, SMEs and  public sector market segments in South Africa.
