Internet Security company AVG uses ntl:Telewest Business services to help create new jobs

AVG, the global Internet Security company that protects home and business computer users against viruses and web threats, has chosen ntl:Telewest Business to deliver a next generation telecoms system for customer support at its new UK headquarters, creating 18 jobs.

ntl:Telewest Business, part of the Virgin Media group, has deployed its IP Voice service to enable AVG to create a sophisticated call management system quickly and cost-effectively as it continues to expand its operations.

AVG relocated from premises in Barnbygate, Newark to purpose-built offices on the town’s Glenholm Park business park in February. ntl:Telewest Business delivered next generation telecoms network connectivity and a voice management platform in just 19 days, enabling AVG to move its customer support centre quickly and recruit the extra personnel. IP Voice is part of the ntl:Telewest Business IP Multimedia product suite and provides organisations with a single, hosted platform for managing all voice calls flexibly.

"Our frontline customer support personnel are vital to the continuing growth of our business," said Michael Foreman, Managing Director, AVG. "ntl:Telewest Business had the appetite to help us meet our relocation timescales and the sophisticated network services we needed to create a better contact centre environment."

"We’ve taken a customer-centric approach to delivering next generation services so that AVG could support its own growth objectives. Technologies like this are enabling companies to create more flexible contact centre platforms faster, without the need for such capital outlay as would have been needed in the past," said David Edges, Business Development Manager for ntl:Telewest Business in the East Midlands.
