The ongoing support we receive from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise before and after sale is very important to us. Since the recent infrastructure upgrade, our staff and students complain more about parking spaces than the Wi-Fi. That’s a very good sign, in our book!

Le Sfide

Newman University struggled with implementing the technological learning expectations of the students and staff caused by a juggle between operational costs and technological investments.

Azione

Newman University has been using Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise products since the late 1990s. Along with business partner, Dice Communications, Newman continues to find ALE as a solid performer with a strong value. Newman has been satisfied with the additional support from Dice and ALE sales engineers providing support through the years. The two companies are a large reason Newman continued to partner with ALE for their network needs. Now in 2021, as Newman University grows adding a doctoral program and additional users, the University is more up to date than ever in their switch technology, communication ease, and network management. Implementation of cloud-based solutions Rainbow™ collaboration tool and OmniVista® Cirrus network management enabled a high amount of product satisfaction between Newman University and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. Additionally, the ALE standards-based, easy-to-use interface enables Newman to segment the network for greater security and control.
