"Installation and cutovers at Burr Ridge and Australia went extremely well with no surprises, thanks in large part to Alcatel-Lucent’s on-site business partner: Morse Communications. We’ve since added our French plant on WiFi and will soon rollout three locations in the U.K., as well as one each in Germany, Italy, and Belgium. Nearly 1,000 phone sets will then be on the global network with more to come. We’ve pretty much developed a dependable template for these installations and they’ve been incredibly trouble-free. We’ve become so confident that cutover night has now become a social event."

Among the world’s leading producers of industrial machined products, Tuthill Corporation of Illinois operates in more than 150 markets around the globe. The company’s IT professionals believed that communications could be significantly improved and telephony costs dramatically reduced by adopting new IP-based technology and software. Deciding to upgrade from separate, analog private branch exchanges (PBXs) at numerous global locations to one IP network, Tuthill Corporation adopted Alcatel-Lucent’s Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution, saving thousands of dollars, facilitating staff collaboration, and improving internal security.
