ONEdotCOM<\/a>, which forms part of Blue Platinum Ventures, is positioned as the holding company\u2019s South African corporate brand and will take voice, data and video in converged end-to-end services to the corporate market.<\/p>\n

According to ONEdotCOM CEO, Niel de Wet<\/a>, the strength of the group has been used to position ONEdotCOM uniquely in a niche market.<\/p>\n

A merger between BCS NET<\/a> and DNS Telecom<\/a>, ONEdotCOM benefits from more than 28 years experience in the telecoms industry and combines the solid operational infrastructure of BCS NET with the sales, marketing and customer facing experience of DNS Telecom.<\/p>\n

De Wet said telecoms is no longer about telephones and the internet. In fact it has very little to do with either, it is all about giving a client the right information package, delivered in the right way to the right person \u2013 it is about providing information.<\/p>\n

\u201dIn the business environment, access to information is critical. It enables business decisions, verbal information, spreadsheets, accounting forms, stock reports \u2013 everything that benefits the customer\u2019s business. This applies to any multi-branch environment – retail, manufacturing, mining and financial services,\u201d said De Wet.<\/p>\n

He said that the telecommunication industry is too reliant on the type of connectivity it is selling rather than what is best suited to the customer. \u201cSpeed and bandwidth are important, but the efficient access or availability of the right information is even more critical,\u201d said de Wet.<\/p>\n

ONEdotCOM\u2019s MD responsible for end user supplier services, Vaughan Humphrey<\/a>, said what counts is \u201cco-opetition\u201d or collaboration with the major players in the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot being dedicated to a single transmission mechanism means we can mix and match the best of what is available in SA and provide a unique bouquet specifically customised to our clients\u2019 requirement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This would be impossible without ONEdotCOM\u2019s telecommunication infrastructure and license agreements.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a new telco carrier in the market, the company aims to position itself as a true first-tier player with its own voice correlation platform, cable system or infrastructure, and multiple nodes with international presence,\u201d said Willie Olivier<\/a>, MD ONEdotCOM Telco, who is responsible for telecommunications infrastructure within ONEdotCOM.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis enables the company to provide a truly converged service, economies of scale and 100% redundancy on its networks with an uptime guarantee,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

ONEdotCom said that they will focus heavily on rapid deployment, competitive pricing and outstanding professional service to ensure success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
