- Due to Ongoing Success, Unified Communications Specialist Expands Into
New 20,000 sq ft Business-Centre Premises

Despite the predictions of economic doom in the media, ABS Network 
Solutions (ABSNet), IP platform and unified communication solutions provider, 
has announced a record 43% business growth during 2007. Due to its 
ever-expanding client base and the needs of its Northern operation, ABSNet 
is evolving its current managed, hosted and maintenance services portfolio 
to enhance the customer experience. Part of the expansion involves moving to 
a new facility in excess of 20,000 sq ft located near to Gatwick.

Mike Mason, recently appointed as ABSNet's Chief Executive Officer,
explains: "ABSNet has been instrumental in the adoption of unified messaging
solutions, supplying businesses with converged voice, video and data
communication technologies for over a decade. Our success and growth in 2007
means that our customers now enjoy more extensive IP infrastructure, managed
services, maintenance and unified communications solutions. The new larger
premises enable us to provide our comprehensive network monitoring and
optimisation services, proactive-maintenance, backup, resilience and disaster
recovery services for the whole communications network on a 24 x 7 basis. We
manage and troubleshoot all aspects of corporate communication, the lifeblood
of any organisation, saving them time and money and boosting their
competitive advantage."

ABSNet's expert team now has the space to widen the range of management
and hosting services and make them available to a far greater number of
clients which can also benefit from our dedicated customer training facility.
Highly experienced technicians design, build and test customer solutions
before installation and offer an enhanced customer experience through the new
state-of-the-art client management centre. Effectively, ABSNet can take full
ownership of and responsibility for each client's network and everything that
sits on, attaches to, connects with and communicates via that network; and in
the true spirit of partnership, can share risk with clients.
