Cohesion Managed Services
It is ABSNet’s objective to deliver, through its Cohesion managed& hosted services portfolio, the kind of business cohesion that IT managers dream of, but never imagine they can afford. The services portfolio offered is driven not by technology shopping lists, but by the demand for business advantage.
Given the relative complexities of managing converging IT services, such as telephony, storage and security, many are now questioning the business case for maintaining these services in-house. Both the CapEx and staff costs to train and retain the level of expertise required are too high, so specialist management and/or hosting is the answer for many.
Cohesion Managed Services takes both the ‘problem’ and the hardware into its multi-featured, resilient and secure management networks and then with its services professionals, who maintain a higher level of qualification than that found in most in-house IT teams, delivers the level of cohesive application availability, security and redundancy that your enterprise demands. These services are delivered consistently and reliably without the headaches of keeping some or your entire infrastructure in-house, and you only pay for what you need or use.
Unified Communications
Unified communications - simply put, the integration of telephony, data and video across a common IP infrastructure - helps address the challenge today's organisations face as they contend with increasingly complex environments that feature a wide array of communications methods. Because of our expertise, experience and technical pedigree, many companies
choose to outsource the design, integration, hosting, support and management of these sophisticated applications to ABSNet.
ABSNet host, manage and administer Call Managers and the complete suite of associated applications (Presence, Unity, Meeting Place) etc, and provide full user support and training, comprehensive Call Data Analysis & Reporting. We can even handle the provision of your ISDN lines and Voice & VOIP Minutes so that your telephony and UC services is a truly turn-key transaction.

A common benefit is not wasting budget on the more obvious but less effective solution of increasing bandwidth and upgrading hardware. The Cohesion approach is to make the infrastructure work smarter not harder through the implementation of effective proactive management, reporting and analysis.
Professional management of your network will deliver cost reductions in terms of faster fault finding and reduced downtime. Knowing how your assets are performing will allow better decision making, proactive and planned replacement before end-of-life and ensure that the network always delivers to the original performance and business objectives.
