Vocus Group has struck a five-year multi-million dollar deal with Heritage Bank for a fibre network connection rollout across all its sites.
The deal, which was won under a competitive procurement process, also sees the telco provide secure network, internet, enterprise voice and Zoom collaboration services.
Additionally, the connections will be secured, monitored and controlled through a managed SD-WAN solution that has been developed through Vocus’ partnership with Fortinet.
Fibre and network services provider Vocus has won a five-year contract with Heritage Bank to deploy a company-wide fibre network.
Heritage Bank has reported its deal with the telco could deliver “up to 20 times” its existing bandwidth, as well as reduce costs and accelerate its growth strategy.
The Queensland-based financial institution, reportedly Australia’s largest mutual bank, hopes the new solution will increase its speed to market with new technology and products, as well as increase internal productivity.
The work will see Vocus roll out fibre connections to all Heritage Bank sites, managed under a software-driven WAN solution. Vocus will also provide secure core network, internet, and enterprise voice services. Zoom collaboration services will also be delivered across the bank.
