Nortel has opened an Executive Briefing Center (EBC) in Dubai to showcase Nortel networking technologies and provide first hand demonstrations on how Nortel solutions can help Middle East customers. The new EBC, Nortel’s first in the Middle East, will host and test a range of Enterprise solutions for Unified Communications and multimedia networking.
The new Dubai Executive Briefing Center, located in Nortel’s Dubai office complex, is the sixth EBC to open in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Other Nortel EBCs are located in Maidenhead (UK), Harlow (UK), Galway (Ireland), Frankfurt (Germany) and Chateaufort near Paris (France).
“The Middle East region is a key growth market for Nortel, and we are committed to providing leading-edge products, solutions and expertise to existing and potential customers here,” said Ramin Attari, vice president and managing director, Nortel Middle East and Africa. “One of our major objectives with the new Dubai EBC is to engage industry players on a more personal and interactive level. By offering real-time, onsite demonstrations we can show how our solutions can contribute to increased efficiency levels and create cost savings for our customers. They can see for themselves that Nortel understands their business challenges.”
The Dubai EBC showcases an extensive range of Nortel products and solutions with a particular emphasis on the Enterprise sector. On-site demonstrations cover Unified Communications, IP Telephony, converged voice and data, mobility, energy efficiency and vertical solutions – especially for healthcare, hospitality, education, government and SMB customers. EBC tours and technology demonstrations are customized individually for specific customer business needs.
