Core Competencies

Just like building a house to weather the storm requires solid foundations, so the foundation for Altech Technology Concepts’ end-to-end offerings is the high-quality physical links it uses to provision bandwidth and managed services to its customers.

Customers can choose from a number of fixed and wireless technologies, depending on their exact requirements.

Building on the experience Altech Technology Concepts’ has garnered in the South African Internet service provider landscape over the past 12 years, it has built a number of Internet access solutions that allow it to adequately meet the disparate needs of the myriad companies of different size and purpose in the local market.

Customers have the ability to choose from a number of premium and broadband Internet access offerings, delivered in both a capped and uncapped fashion.

Depending on their needs, customers are able to choose an Internet access package that either gives their traffic a higher priority on the network, allows them to benefit from better cost-efficiency, or delivers any combination or weighing of these tenets.

All of these Internet access offerings benefit from Altech Technology Concepts’ high-speed backbone, which has been designed to deliver high capacity, redundancy and the lowest-possible latency across both the SAT-3 and Seacom undersea cables.

Using a combination of its competency around the provision of physical links and Internet access, Altech Technology Concepts is also able to provide customers with managed network services such as virtual private network links between customers’ branch offices and head offices, between branch offices and its own data centre, or between remote workers and its data centre, either on an ad-hoc or a permanent, directly-connected basis.

All of these offerings form the perfect foundation for Altech Technology Concepts to deliver its comprehensive portfolio of managed services.

The portfolio currently comprises e-mail, security, backup, hosting, VoIP, domain management and hosted infrastructure, all delivered as a service.

This means, instead of having to manage the infrastructure, software and other elements associated with one or another business critical function, customers elect to pay an affordable, predictable monthly fee for the use of that feature as a service.

Another benefit of the solid architecture underpinning Altech Technology Concepts’ managed services offering is the inherent support built into its network for converged voice and data traffic.

The presence of a Class 4/Class 5 voice over IP switch in Altech Technology Concepts’ network means the company is today able to route voice calls alongside data traffic and for all intents and purposes, able to begin provisioning voice services to its customers.

As the company continues to evolve this area of focus, it plans to bring to market numerous voice-related solutions in the same way its managed services area available.

Rounding out Altech Technology Concepts’ service portfolio, the company is also able to assist its customers with the development of compelling web sites, whether for the purpose of marketing their products and services to the Internet or encouraging the internal collaboration of their staff members and partners through an intranet.

These services are bolstered by the company’s deep expertise in the search engine marketing and digital marketing arenas, ensuring that customers not only get a functionality sound and expertly designed web presence, but have the ability to drive traffic and interest at the same time.

All of this combines to form one of the most compelling value propositions in the market today.

Over the coming years, Altech Technology Concepts will continually strive to enrich its service portfolio with value adds that make sense in its customers’ lives.
