Damovo and Telia International Carrier have launched a Business Continuity Program to support complete communications transition and operations for corporate customers affected by the recent KPNQwest business decline.

Within the Business Continuity Program current KPNQwest corporate customers will receive a single point of dedicated contact to support migration (switchover) to the Damovo and Telia IC services network. Damovo and Telia IC will provide corporate customers with a seamless transition and non-disruptive business option to ensure their own businesses and customers are unaffected by the turbulence in the carrier market space.

"Many Multi National Corporations, dependant upon KPNQwest, are searching for a safe haven and stable partners to whom they can trust their communications needs such as IP VPNs and Wide Area Networks. Damovo has an excellent reputation in serving corporations and providing value-add solutions. Supported by Telia ICs excellent global network -- in many cases geographically similar to the coverage of KPNQwest - we have formed a powerful alliance to secure business continuity" commented Constantijn Jansen, Director Sales Strategy, Telia International Carrier"

What we are offering here is more than a carrier swap. The Telia IC and Damovo partnership provides customers with a business option which considers all aspects of their communications needs from the corporate LAN and voice network, through the local loop to the wide area network. Corporate customers looking for a solid and capable partnership to handle this complexity need look no further. One SLA, one communications partner." Added Mike Litherland, Damovo.

Damovo and Telia International Carrier (Telia IC) recently entered into a Global Business Partnership authorising Damovo as a Communications Services Provider, and Systems Integration Partner of Telia IC. This will see Damovo and Telia IC providing a full range of services under a Damovo Managed Services umbrella.
