Global Crossing announced that it is providing fully managed IP VPN services for Odebrecht Engineering & Construction, Brazil's largest services exporter and Latin America's largest engineering and construction company. Under the three-year contract, Global Crossing designed and is providing Odebrecht with a fully managed IP VPN, which will converge data, voice, and videoconferencing applications through a single IP network, connecting sites in Angola, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, the United States, and Europe.
"Global Crossing's truly global reach and the performance of its IP fiber-optic network made it a perfect fit for Odebrecht," commented Mauro Rehm, chief information officer at Odebrecht Engineering & Construction. "Quality, reliability and a fully managed, cost-effective solution, as well as adapting to our specific requirements were key factors in our decision."
Through Global Crossing's managed solution, Odebrecht's international subsidiaries will now experience convergence and integration, allowing the exchange of financial and business information on their mission-critical systems, as well as the implementation of a corporate Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) platform. The use of videoconferencing will also enable greater synergy between Odebrecht's business units around the world.
Reaching more than 600 cities in more than 60 countries, Global Crossing provides one of the most powerful and versatile IP VPN solutions currently in place, with scalable connectivity, multiple access options, and flexible billing options. In addition to secure private data transport, the convergence of data, voice, and video onto a single IP-based platform yields simplicity in network design and administration, as well as connectivity, billing, and care, enabling Odebrecht to focus on managing their core business.
"Odebrecht's choice of Global Crossing underscores our ability to provide flexible solutions that are fully adapted to meet our customers needs," said Jose Luis Kruyff, Global Crossing's vice president of enterprise sales for Latin America and the Caribbean. "We are pleased to include such a recognized corporation in our customer roster and look forward to a long-standing relationship with them."
Global Crossing's services perfectly match Odebrecht's demands for global solutions. Founded in 1944, Odebrecht is involved in various projects around the world. In the United States it is currently responsible for the North and South terminal expansions at the Miami International Airport. Construction will cover an area of approximately 520,000 square meters, and the complex will include hotel, parking facilities, and shops. Odebrecht is also working on the duplication of General Lazaro Cardenas de Minatitlan Refinery in Mexico and is one of the companies responsible for exploring the United Kingdom's MacCulloch oil field in the North Sea. It has developed residential and urban infrastructure projects in Germany, constructed a tunnel to carry drinking water to Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, participated in offshore drilling projects in India, constructed oil platforms in bases located in Singapore and Spain, and constructed bridges, harbors, highways, and subway lines in Portugal, among many other global projects.
Global Crossing's Managed Network Services provide value-added pre-sales engineering and CPE design, equipment procurement, provisioning and installation, network monitoring, and management backed by stringent service level agreements. The service also provides ongoing end-to-end CPE and network management and maintenance support around the globe.
Global Crossing's customers can also benefit from the support offered by uCommand--an industry-leading online account management tool, which provides customers secure, instant, anytime access to their IP VPN service and enables them to view network utilization, manage their hosted RADIUS accounts, and create and track trouble tickets.
