Bell's IP Momentum
Bell Canada's new and enthusiastic focus on IP-based services produced
another dividend today with a new deal with BMO Financial, which will
connect 1,100 branches across the country using a virtual private network.
“This agreement with BMO is a perfect example showing that our strategy is
not only working but the marketplace is responding,” said Isabelle
Courville, who heads up Bell's corporate division. “Bell Canada is now
executing on its vision, working closely with customers to achieve the
efficiencies and increased productivity anticipated with migration to IP.
Bell's excitement about the agreement is a no-brainer because it needs to
move quickly into the IP world if it wants to stay competitive and reduce
its costs, which have an essential part of BCE Inc.'s corporate makeover in
the past three years.
