Business needs and our solutions:

Meeting increasing customer expectations whilst managing costs
Exceeding customer expectations is key to ensuring customer loyalty. Equally important is building a service-driven brand image to help you gain new customers, and offering easy access to your services. With experience in managing the technology behind customer reservation and online ticketing systems, Telstra International has a unique insight into these applications. To maximise the performance of your network while achieving your productivity goals, Telstra’s highly qualified team will design you a managed network IT environment, and you can use our data centre assets to reduce TCO while increasing scalability and future proofing. Depending on your IT resources, we can also provide network management to the application layer, allowing you to focus on updating your data and systems.
Managing the e-business model and service differentiation
The internet is crucial in making your services accessible, and managing the peaks and troughs of your customer demands requires the ability to burst with highly flexible bandwidth that copes with heavy usage periods. A customer’s experience of browsing your online services must be consistently positive, and the robustness of your internet service is absolutely key. Our solutions are provided with a near 100% uptime guarantee. We are a Tier 1 global backbone internet provider with a fully resilient internet service, and for customers wishing to host their website, we provide a fully managed hosting environment. Our managed virtualised platform enables you to manage your costs by eliminating the need to invest in dedicated infrastructure, whilst enjoying the ability to add virtual machines to your platform as the need arises.
Compliance with industry standards
We recognise that the travel and leisure industry must ensure compliance with security and processes. This is key to both the financial responsibilities of transacting online, and the security and safety of travellers. Our responsibilities as the largest telecoms provider in Asia mean we face the same challenges. Our engineers are certified in their area of expertise, and our core project managers are ITIL or Prince qualified. For any certification that we may not have directly, our partnerships with leading IT security and compliance specialists ensure we are able to meet the needs of our customers and our own internal policies.
Going green
By consolidating your applications and investing in virtual hosting, you can reduce your carbon footprint.
With an improved IT infrastructure, you’ll provide more of your information and services online, reducing environmental impact through a decrease in print, mail and delivery, as well as introducing time efficiencies across your organisation. Our video conferencing services are the ultimate way to save on time and money while drastically reducing your carbon footprint through reduced travel.
Simplify your systems into one single, straightforward and consistent approach
Delivering a ubiquitous, customer-facing environment requires a focus on the personalisation of customer relations while maintaining a global supply chain. Our dedicated account management team and on-the-ground presence offers you access to our customer services around the clock, wherever you are. You also have direct access to senior executives around the world; Telstra International delivers you a global reach with local service excellence, delivering a trusted, resilient, flexible network and service support with a consistent approach that’s scaleable to suit your business.
