Optus Business selects NEC as a partner for professional services panel

Melbourne, 04 August, 2015 – NEC Australia, a leading technology solutions and services company, has been appointed to Optus Business’ panel for technical professional services and telephony infrastructure services.

NEC Australia will deliver professional technical services for Optus Business, in both general project management and engineering, as well as telephony infrastructure services.

 

Specifically, the panel will streamline Optus Business’ interactions with suppliers, while delivering improved cost transparency and governance to ensure compliance. The panel is also supported by a structured process that will help standardise the terms of an engagement.

 

Most importantly, key suppliers will have proven they are capable of aligning with Optus Business’ customer commitments.
