AT&T reports Integra Bank network services contract

AT&T will be integrating and upgrading Integra's current Frame Relay services to a single Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution.

"AT&T offers the skill and global scale needed to complete this complex yet crucial upgrade for Integra," said Amy Drake, senior vice president of Integra Bank. "Our new network services give our employees and our customers greater velocity in their daily activities, making banking interactions quick and efficient."

Integra Bank employees and customers will experience faster, enhanced applications with the new VPN services, which run on AT&T's Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network platform. Helping Integra prioritize applications across its locations, the VPN dramatically increases bandwidth availability at all banking locations. The optimized connection will allow employees to communicate and transmit financial information efficiently, and customers will have an enhanced experience when accessing ATM applications and other customer-facing networked services.

AT&T also provided the necessary equipment, deployment and integration management to complete this critical transition for Integra. The new class-of-service-enabled VPN services and corresponding equipment are fully managed and monitored by AT&T technicians.
