NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - July 22, 2008) - Juma Technology Corp. (OTCBB : JUMT ), a leading
IP Convergence and systems integration company, today announced that the
international law firm of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP (Hughes Hubbard) signed
a multi-year contract with Juma for the architecture, implementation and
support of an integrated voice and data network.
Hughes Hubbard, one of the most distinguished law practices in the world,
currently maintains offices in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles,
Miami, Jersey City, Paris and Tokyo, supporting over 30 specialized
practice areas.
Juma designed and deployed a secure and redundant converged voice and data
architecture for the firm's seven offices. The fault-tolerant solution
features an Avaya voice communications platform and a Cisco data network.
"Just as you would expect the best service from any fine restaurant, soup
to nuts, Juma took our Firm from proof of concept, training, through
installation and did it with finesse," said Steven Sommer, Chief
Information/Technology Officer for Hughes Hubbard & Reed.
"Their knowledge of the Avaya system is second to none," continued Sommer.
"The best part is the comments that I got back from our Attorneys. So,
would I recommend this integrator to anyone as I would a fine restaurant?
You can bet your Zagat® on it."
The Hughes Hubbard architecture includes over 1,000 Avaya 9640 Gigabit
color-phones and dual mirrored servers with critical reliability. All
locations are connected via the Hughes Hubbard WAN, enabling all locations
to be interconnected and gain the advanced features and functionality
operating at the main New York City site.
Taking into consideration the firm's large pool of blackberry users and
mobile workforce, the new solution incorporates Microsoft Office
Communicator (MOC) 2007 integration with the Avaya Communications Manager
(CM) to enable true Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC). This is an additional
integration between communication carrier services and the firm's
enterprise network.
Juma implemented all new Cisco switches and chassis in five of the offices,
including a new Cisco 10 gigabit core and distribution switches in the NYC
office.
Critical reliability, dial plan transparency and full system feature
functionality in the event of a WAN fracture are all essential elements of
the new converged network for Hughes Hubbard.
"We are delighted that Hughes Hubbard & Reed selected Juma as their IP
convergence partner," said Joseph Fuccillo, President of Juma. "This new,
integrated voice and data network unifies the firm's distributed systems
and transforms communications. Specifically, Juma's integration of
Microsoft Office Communicator with the Avaya platform enables a whole new
level of communication efficiencies," said Fuccillo.
"The Hughes Hubbard & Reed contract affirms Juma's leadership in the
marketplace and further demonstrates our commitment to servicing the legal
vertical," said Anthony Servidio, Juma's Chairman and CEO. "We are
extremely pleased to welcome Hughes Hubbard to our client roster and look
forward to helping them take full advantage of advanced communications to
better serve their clients and work more efficiently and globally than
ever."
