London, -- 25 Nov., 2004 -- TeleCity, the leading European provider of colocation and data centre services, today announced that is has signed a major contract with Xpedite, the leading international provider of document generation and delivery, high-volume messaging and interactive data capture solutions.
Xpedite is consolidating its existing data centre space, previously run and operated in-house, into TeleCity’s London and Paris data centres. This will help streamline existing operational needs and ensure continuity of service through a controlled and consistent environment. TeleCity’s IP Multihome service will guarantee resilient connectivity, and a high level of support will also be provided in terms of response times, monitoring and management, with engineers present on-site 24x7.
Xpedite provides companies worldwide with advanced communications solutions that maximize the power of voice, email, SMS and fax technologies. Their core services, including voiceREACHSM, messageREACH®, smsREACH and faxREACHSM, provide customers with an integrated approach to efficiently and cost-effectively reach their target audiences. Their voiceREACH service, for example, allows companies to deliver important, time-sensitive information, or "teleconnect" with thousands of people simultaneously, all in the time that it takes to dial a phone number. Xpedite customers include Admiral, one of the United Kingdom’s leading financial service providers; GB Railways, a company that runs the Anglia Railways passenger franchise and operates the UK’s only open access passenger train services; and Thomas Cook, a global travel services company.
“TeleCity was the ideal place for the relocation of our servers,” commented Iain Akhurst, European Operations Director, Xpedite. “We wanted to outsource our data centre needs, increase server resilience and reduce costs, and TeleCity was able to satisfy all of our requirements. Another key factor was access to the large number of carriers present at TeleCity, as resilient connectivity is key to our business. “
Rick Hudson, CEO, TeleCity said: “This is great endorsement for TeleCity’s service capabilities and proof of the excellent reputation our data centres enjoy across Europe. We’re looking forward to a long and successful relationship.”
