RECENT WINS
Lantana continues to add to its impressive
list of clients. See who’s being added to
the Lantana family of customers and the
solutions that they’ve chosen to run their
business.
Smith County
Congratulations to Jeff Roberts who recently
won the Smith County converged data
business, and welcome to Smith County as
they enter the Lantana family of customers.
Smith County recently partnered with Lantana
to install the Avaya 8720 Media Server, an
S8500 Enterprise Survival Server and 12
Avaya Gateways.
“We’re excited about our new partnership
with Smith County and look forward to
working with Smith County for years”
Jeff Roberts
Smith County’s Account Executive
Why did Lantana win the project? We offered
the best solution at the best price, and our
local service and support guarantee.
Smith County has a total of 13 locations,
with five main locations (including the
courthouse) in downtown Tyler. These offices
were supported by a SW Bell Centrex system
that was 25 years old and in need of
updating.
The County released an RFP to replace the
Centrex service with communications
equipment at all 13 locations that would
enable the locations to be on the same
system and same dialing plan. Some of the
features that the county required included:
- Centralized voicemail
- Centralized call tracking
- Other advanced features of an IP telephony
communications
network.
After an initial vendor conference, five
vendors were invited to submit proposals for
the project, and Lantana won the work. The
project is scheduled to be complete in
September.

converged technologies and how they can help
your business, contact a
