imei and Mitel: Resilience for when communication services cannot fail

blog image 2023_mitel resilience

With wild weather continuing to wreak havoc on Australia’s communications infrastructure, enterprises need to mitigate risk by prioritising reliability and 99.9999% availability for when disaster strikes. In any company, the longer you go without access to your data and business systems, the greater the financial implications. That’s why a robust unified communication and collaboration solution that provides built-in redundancy and rich functionality is crucial to making business communications more efficient and resilient.

For some companies, a network failure and loss of enterprise communication systems is inconvenient. It’s frustrating and not great for productivity when you can’t get your work done or get in touch with the right people. But nobody dies. But when it comes to providers of critical services, it’s quite another story. Loss of communication systems can have devastating results for hospitals, police forces, first responders, banks, government agencies, mass transit operators, airports, and security operators. In these environments, communication services simply cannot be allowed to fail.
