Elwyn Chooses Carousel Industries for Extensive Communications Deployment
EXETER, R.I., July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Carousel Industries, a national technology integrator, announced today that it had entered into an agreement with Elwyn, a non-profit human services organization located in Elwyn, PA, to completely update their Voice, Data and Network Services as well as modernize their physical infrastructure to meet power and cooling requirements. The new system will be designed, installed, serviced and maintained by Carousel. This project represents a multi-million dollar investment in improvements for Elwyn and its branch locations. The project will integrate Elwyn's communications environment to increase interoperability, features, applications, scalability, and reliability for all users. These enhancements will allow teachers and case workers to spend more time with the mentally challenged adults and children they support.
Elwyn is recognized nationally and internationally as experts in the education and care of individuals with special needs and disadvantages. Founded in 1852, Elwyn is a leading provider of services for people with special needs of all ages.
Carousel Industries is a leading telecommunications integrator and one of the largest Value-Added Resellers in the country. Headquartered in Exeter, Rhode Island, the company provides full service communications, data, video, and software solutions to some of the largest organizations in the country including Reebok, Monster.com and Bank of America.
The new telecommunications system being provided by Carousel is designed around a platform from Avaya, the leading provider of IP Telephony products and software. The hub is located at a downtown co-location facility for robustness and disaster recovery purposes. Elwyn's main campus and 19 other branch locations will be tied together with Avaya S8300 media servers and 1000 IP, digital and analog handsets. The main campus will also have an Avaya S8500 media server for secondary call control. The entire network will be connected via a meshed AT&T MPLS network for data and internal calls across the network, with local PRI's for least cost routing.
Carousel was chosen primarily for its proven ability to provide a full service, turn-key solution of this size and scope. The largest beneficiary will be the mentally challenged children and adults that Elwyn serves. The Avaya Solution provided by Carousel will:
-- Improve efficiency by consolidating communication assets and reducing overall system management costs
-- Enhance mobility for users by providing access to communications applications from any location
-- Provide a virtual organization where resources throughout the enterprise can be leveraged
-- Simplify and enhance user experience and reduce training/support requirements through uniform deployment of enterprise-wide features and dial plan
-- Improve Elwyn's intake time by reducing the time needed to do daily tasks via unified messaging and mobility. This will result in "soft" ROI by significantly increasing the time Elwyn care providers are able to spend providing quality care and assistance to their clients.
