Solutions
The head office in Tubbercurry and Sligo Dairies, Swinford and Ballaghdereen Mill already had Alcatel-Lucent equipment installed onsite so no upgrade was required. A central IP system was installed in head office Tubbercurry which runs all remote sites, and this was seamlessly linked to the existing phone systems.
A site survey was conducted at all branches including production, marts and shops and data was collected to ensure that all sites were capable of hosting such a solution.
