We found a technology that supports our business growth and makes it easier for employees to communicate with each other, while serving customers. The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise network and communications technology offers UC collaboration to enhance teamwork and productivity. It was easily deployed and met our business needs, including mobility for employees.

Challenges

Al Ain Coop was faced with a welcomed challenge of supporting its growing business. To accommodate the growth, they planned a relocation of the head office to a new building and opening another new supermarket branch. The relocation provided Al Ain Coop with the opportunity to completely renew its network and communications technology infrastructure. In addition, they required a basic ICT infrastructure for the new supermarket branch.
