Telecom rolling out some new SME stuff

While I was away Telecom announced a new host of options for SMEs. Basically it seems that Telecom have identified that SMEs in New Zealand are time-constrained and one of the things that gets overlooked in their busy-ness is a complete set of web presences.

To this end they’ve partnered with a bunch of providers around the world in an effort to bring affordable and easy solutions for SMEs.

Some of the stuff they’re doing includes;

  • Business specific broadband (higher caps and better support)
  • Business specific hardware (modems with more filtering options)
  • Web design and hosting (a simple one-stop-shop for domain name registration, site design and hosting

Fact is that most SMEs are Telecom customers, and most could benefit from some of these tools - the attractiveness of a single-bill ICT relationship is pretty compelling.

Yet to come, according to the Telecom press release, is backup, storage and business tool software offerings - all delivered via SaaS - nice!

    Interesting. Running a SME I would like to find out more. My search on Telecom, SME, SaaS came up with nothing. Please let me know any links to this. Ta.

    Hi Suzanne

    I did a lot of work on the modems and plans while at Telecom - much better for SMEs than previous. The SaaS offering is not released yet but Vic Crone who runs this group for Telecom keeps an eye on these blogs so post here what you are after and I sure Vic and her team will keep an eye on it
