Cisco Names 3 More Enterprise IP Communications Customers

Cisco Systems named three new IP Communications customers in the financial services market: VirtualBank, Cole Taylor Bank and Fairbanks Capital Corp. Fairbanks Capital, a residential mortgage loan servicer, has deployed the Cisco IP/VC Videoconferencing system to replace a legacy ISDN system. Cole Taylor Bank, Chicago's largest independent bank serving small to mid-size businesses, has deployed a converged voice and data network comprising 900 IP phones across 12 facilities. VirtualBank, a provider of wealth management services, has adopted a single IP-based network serving more than 300 IP telephony users with Cisco Unified Messaging across the company. In addition, Cisco's IP Contact Center is performing call routing, computer telephony integration and reporting as an integrated part of VirtualBank's existing Interactive Voice Response system from Edify.


Cisco said additional recent wins in the financial services sector include the Cottonport Bank, Dah Sing Financial Holdings, First Commercial Bank, Southtrust Bank and State Street Corporation.


Cisco now claims more than 10,000 IP communications customers worldwide and has shipped in excess of two million IP phones.
