The Business Case

A valuable contribution, IXC has the ability to open networks with potential partners beyond the usual business development boundaries.

Dr Susan PondChairman & Managing Director, Johnson & Johnson Research Pty Ltd

There's probably nothing magical about what the intermediaries do except that they have the specific task of doing it. Unlike internal staff, the job can't be shelved and they can't be touched.

Paul CarterCochlear

We are absolutely delighted, this has opened us up a new world of opportunity and we are really grateful.

CEOItalian telecommunications manufacturer

This IXC connection has brought the business a vital, but totally unanticipated, new revenue stream, from a completely new sector, repaying our investment many times over.
