NCC - Network Control Center

PenTeleData implements its new state-of-the-art NCC Network Control Center.

To enhance our ability to continuously provide industry leading customer service for Fortune 500 Companies and beyond, PenTeleData has unveiled a fully staffed, 24 / 7 / 365, Network Control Center.

The Mission

We set out to create a department within PenTeleData solely responsible for the management of our state of the art "Network Genesis", one of the area's largest privately owned fiber optic networks. A department responsible for proactively monitoring the Network Genesis - 24x7 - providing immediate response, coordinating incoming calls, communicating current / future network health and providing report status in real-time. This fully staffed department will be on hand anytime for trouble shooting regarding the network and connections.

Why?

Everyday companies and institutions, just like yours, are moving increasing amounts of critical data and processes to new electronic technologies such as the Internet. As this occurs, companies are becoming increasingly more aware of the performance of the networks they are using. They understand that the level of performance and reliability they can expect to receive is only as good as the network infrastructure of their carrier. At PenTeleData you can count on receiving the best service available anywhere. PenTeleData's NCC represents our commitment to providing businesses with a communications service capable of supporting mission-critical applications.

Mission Accomplished . . .

In order to provide our customers with industry leading service, our NCC will be fully staffed with specialists 24 hours a day. In additional to our around the clock proactive monitoring, PenTeleData has also instituted a "Ticket" Tracking System, an Escalation Procedure and 24 Hour Emergency Paging. These systems were implemented in order to keep both our NCC staff and our Engineering Team up to speed with all aspects of our network.

Additionally, in an effort to keep our customers informed, PenTeleData posts both the current network status and the progress of all tickets on the World Wide Web: www.engr.ptd.net. The current network status is also available via a tollfree telephone number 24 hours a day: 1-800-281-3564
