All IP network: better phone calls, cheaper phone calls

Since June 2009, converting itself progressively to ToIP (Communication through Internet), Issy-les-Moulineaux's City Hall has been pursueing its usual goals: improve services and reduce operating costs of networks. This is a large scale project including 36 sites and 360 phones to build a more efficient, multi-usage and saving making communication tool. This breakaway from usual telephony is also part of the improvement of public service. A mature and saving making solution which improves the quality of the services offered to Issy's inhabitants without disturbing the users. In consistency with already implemented multimedia services, Issy-lesMoulineaux goes on with its services modernisation strategy. ■

Only one network is to be maintained. Since 1st April 2010, the annual operating costs of telephony and digital networks went from 418,000 euros to 242,000 euros - a 176,000 € annual saving.

A technological change, shared by all services, more user friendly, and equipped with extra functionalities - shared directory, shared mail, collaborative system - will allow the numerous users in the City to improve their skills and put together their contacts to have a common directory.
