Perhaps one of New Zealand’s most successful companies that you may never have heard of, SieTec provides business communications systems to some 2000 clients.

Many of these are well known names in their respective industries such as Ogilvy, Harley-Davidson, Mitre 10 Mega, BDO Spicers, Kiwi Rail, SPCA, Delmaine, Giltrap Group, Briscoe Group, Pak ‘n Save and many more.

“With the advent of hosted solutions specifically designed for SMEs, SieTec today supplies enterprise-grade communications systems to businesses of any size,” says John McAdams, Group MD, SieTec.

“It wasn’t too long ago that the best in information and communications technology was restricted to those who could afford it – and that meant big business only.”

All that has changed according to McAdams, with Siemens Enterprise Communications solutions available for New Zealand businesses of every size, thanks to their sole partner SieTec.

“Combined with SieTec’s proven capability to deliver solutions to the most demanding of enterprise clients, any Kiwi business can now access the same level of engineering and support for their communications systems,” McAdams adds.

As a hosted (or on premises, if preferred) solution, OpenScape delivers UC functionality on top of existing networks, using established interfaces and supporting all common communications protocols.

It is packaged with the latest UC applications, including presence and web collaboration, and provides seamless mobility so all the functionality of OpenScape goes with your people on their device of choice.

“Whether using a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet, Windows, Android or iOS, OpenScape just works,” McAdams says.

There is more to SieTec than its telecommunications division, notes Rob Currie, Group Business Manager.

It also operates a Wholesale Networks division, providing services such as Lines, Calling, SIP Trunking and Broadband solutions, to its clients; SieTec Security, which provides IP-based security solutions such as access control, intercoms and specialized telecommunications to the end-user and installers market; and SieTec Structured Cabling, which addresses the requirement for cabling infrastructure.
