Azlan is the converged infrastructure expert, the key to unifying communication technologies and the bridge to IP integration.
We enable businesses of all sizes to access the latest technology and infrastructure solutions.
Converged Infrastructure solutions drive business agility, innovation and performance improvements, while reducing risk, complexity and cost.
Unified Communications and Collaboration offer a single solution to managing the growing multitude of communication mediums. Telephony, voicemail, video, email, instant messaging, etc can be integrated into a single, optimised and efficient platform.
Mobile Security The increase in cyber terrorism and the uptake of wireless communication means that protecting data becomes an essential element of a companies IT strategy.
Virtualisation enables a reduction in the number of physical servers (mail, internet, printer, CRM, ERP) a business needs to deploy for its ICT, saving not only the cost of hardware and maintenance, but also significantly reducing datacenter space and power requirements.

Vodafone Video Conferencing - Case Study
“Prior to the introduction of videoconferencing systems, a business case was created, from this we predicted that the travel costs of our company in the next three years would fall globally by around 30 percent. After just one year, the acquisition costs for the systems have already been recouped.”

Green Technology - Visual Communications
As a global company, TANDBERG. now part of Ciisco, has a genuine concern for the environment. They believe that embracing green practices and technologies is not only a corporate social responsibility, but also makes good business sense. Video provides a practical alternative for companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint through decreased travel and telework programs, as well as provides a key competitive advantage through increased productivity.
TANDBERG, now part of Cisco, is committed to making environmental responsibility an integral part of its own corporate culture and strives to continually reduce the Company’s overall environmental impact through company-wide green programs and policies.

Cisco Unified Communications ROI, Uses & Benefits
Many benefits of deploying an IP Communications (IPC) system are, by now, well documented. However, once the basic IPC foundation is set, there are many additional applications that can leverage this converged IP network even more fully. Quantifying the real productivity gains of these relatively new value-added Unified Communications technologies is difficult, yet if armed with such information, potential adopters could make a far more comprehensive ROI justification for their planned deployments. One source of such information is Based on a survey of 244 small, medium, and large organisations presently using or planning to deploy Unified Communications applications, this paper outlines both the challenges that those applications address and the actual benefits that current adopters experience.

Azlan’s approach to Unified Communications and Collaboration:
Azlan views the concept of Unified Communications as an exciting evolution of communications and collaboration technologies. Evolution, because this technology segment has not just suddenly appeared, but is the integration of both old and new technologies based on “open standards”. To support it's distribution Channel in this growing market segment Azlan has developed deep relationships with leading vendors to create an “open architecture’ solution set.
Open standards are essential in order “Unify” Communications, they provide a platform on which technology can be integrated. This is the key to the way that Azlan adds value to both its vendors and injtegrating partners. By working with strategic vendors to create a Unified Communications reference architecture, Azlan is able to work in turn with its partners to introduce appropriate technology to compliment their existing vendor relationships and to extend their solutions portfolio.
Azlan is keen to talk to both End Users about potential UC solutions (and Azlan will introduce them to a suitably qualified implementation partner) and to VAR's and integrators who would like to broaden their UC technology portfolio.
Converged Infrastructure
Converged Infrastructure:
A converged infrastructure enables an organisation to do more with fewer resources. Converged Infrastructure solutions drive business agility, innovation and performance improvements, while reducing risk, complexity and cost.
IT proliferation has stretched many businesses to breaking point, and business agility is severely constrained. Converged infrastructure, a holistic solution that enables all end user sub systems to work in tandem on a single IP network, offers new and more effective ways of working which address the following typical challenges:
- Escalating IT management and administration costs
- A desire to move mission-critical environments to standards-based infrastructure
- Limited datacenter space; need to improve server consolidation, virtualisation, and utilisation
- Risk associated with older legacy systems
- A need to grow and scale capacity in line with shrinking IT budgets
- Break free of proprietary solutions to achieve true inter-operability through the adoption of open industry standards
- An approach to unifying multiple communications methods: voice, e-mail, messaging, video etc
- Security threats
