London -- March 30, 2006 -- Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC) announced today that it is providing Domino Printing, a world-leader in ink jet and laser technologies, with a managed IP VPN connecting their headquarters in Cambridge, UK with offices across 16 countries around the world including North America, Europe and Asia.
"The Global Crossing account team is keenly focused on understanding our needs and working with us in close partnership to implement the global solutions that best support our business goals," said Dick Wallin, group IT director, Domino Printing. "Global Crossing's managed IP VPN solution will deliver a high-performance option that facilitates communication around the globe and increases our efficiencies."
Domino Printing selected Global Crossing as its managed IP VPN provider based on its customer service excellence, convergence expertise and global reach. With corporate locations around the world, the company required a flexible, cost-effective solution to support its data networking needs. The company also needed an easily scalable solution that allowed it to simplify its network management.
"We're delighted that Domino Printing chose Global Crossing's IP VPN to run and support its business IP communications around the world," said Phil Metcalf, managing director, Global Crossing UK. "This agreement underscores our capabilities in bringing value added services to global customers, providing the flexible, advanced solutions that best support their business needs."
Under the agreement Global Crossing will also provide Domino Printing with Dedicated Internet Access, a global remote access solution and colocation of its servers at Global Crossing's Global Network Operations Center in Docklands, London.
Domino Printing wanted the flexibility to make additions, moves and changes to the network at short notice as their needs dictated. This is enabled by uCommand®, Global Crossing's unique customer service portal that delivers 24x7 self-service autonomy. This secure, private, Web-based network management tool allows customers to order data services, monitor their network, create utilization reports, establish end-user and product accounts, and view monthly billing reports.
Domino Printing's data traffic is transported over Global Crossing's secure, privately owned and operated MPLS-based IP backbone, which is separate from the public Internet, providing the security and performance global multinationals require.
Available in more than 600 cities in 60 countries, Global Crossing's IP VPN solutions provide high performance and versatility, with true global reach, scalable connectivity, multiple access options, and flexible billing options. The solutions support the convergence of corporate data, voice, IP video and Internet access, all over a single connection.
Critical business communications including e-mail, e-commerce, streaming video and other applications require consistent levels of uninterrupted performance. Global Crossing's industry-leading Service Level Agreements (SLAs) leverage the exceptional quality of the company's network to guarantee virtually jitter-free performance of real-time converged IP applications.
