Prologic Debuts Unify Plus
Retailers benefit from enterprise level network infrastructure at a fraction of the cost
Berkhamsted, Herts.-March, 2007-Prologic, the business solutions provider for fashion and lifestyle, today announced the latest version of its Unify end-to-end retail network - Unify Plus. Unify Plus provides mid-market retailers with the network advantages available to a retail giant without the financial or technical overheads.
Unify will now be offered as a converged voice and data network along with the MPLS platform. This enables the rapidly growing number of Prologic Unify customers to reap the benefits of IP and work more efficiently. A converged network also enables organisations to bring video to the desktop, providing new ways to communicate and work with staff, and opportunities for on-the-job training. Computers and telephones can be integrated allowing easy routing of emails and calls throughout the organisation.
Unify is a fully managed private network offering point-to-point connectivity between any two locations. Through the use of multiple Prologic-hosted servers housed in secure and fully protected environments, Unify delivers an unparalleled degree of resilience with no single point of failure. This network solution provides the backbone for both managed services and store-wide access to accurate and up-to-date enterprise data.
The EFT service within Unify manages the full set of functions necessary to maintain an agile retail business operating with ever tightening margins and critical time-to-market constraints. These include bank accreditation, billing, server support, monitoring and upgrades, whilst mitigating the possibility of systems or network failure.
"Unify is already used by 12 of Prologic's retail customers including Internationale, Ted Baker and Hobbs and is now one of the largest networks in UK retailing. Building on this success, Unify Plus takes our customers to the next level in high performance enterprise connectivity. It delivers the dream of connecting the whole enterprise through a secure 'live' network where stock, prices, customers and sales transactions inform decisions anywhere in the business in real time, whether in the store, at head office, in the call centre or on the web. Mission-critical transactional data can now share a single network with voice, video and enterprise-to-store connectivity applications. Unify Plus also enables the retailer to plug into a range of high quality managed services which we host through our data centres in Coventry and Docklands, including application hosting and business system continuity, all at a fraction of the price of comparable solutions," said Sam Jackson, the Managing Director of Prologic.
