TELSTRA has opened a new specialised business centre in Port Macquarie as part of a $100 million push to provide a better range of communications technology and services for small businesses across the country.
The centre was officially opened on Friday.
Telstra Country Wide Area regional general manager Tricia Wilson said specially trained staff in the new centre could help unravel some of the complexity surrounding modern business communications and provide new tailor-made business solutions.
“Every business has unique challenges and requirements, and our centre staff can assist local companies to identify their needs, implement effective systems and help manage costs,” Ms Wilson said.
“Whether it’s installing the right business connectivity solution for your office or discussing the best mobile phone plan for your staff when they are out and about, our centre staff can help.”
Each Telstra business centre is staffed with Telstra business certified solutions professionals who can offer a range of live demonstrations with the latest technology.
As well as a $100 million program to open Telstra business centres across Australia, Telstra is also investing a further $800 million in cloud-based computing services.
“Cloud computing means small businesses can avoid spending their own capital. They can store data in our network (tsuite.com) or lease software, and avoid some big upfront IT investments,” Ms Wilson said.
The Telstra business centre is located at 177 Lake Road, Port Macquarie and can be contacted on 5525 0000.
