15 AT&T 09 AR Business Solutions
Business Solutions
Connectivity is the lifeblood of business. Companies and their employees want to work
smarter, move faster and serve their customers better. At AT&T, that’s what our innovative
business solutions deliver.
Our global IP infrastructure and networks — and the advanced solutions and applications that
run on them — enable and enhance commerce at every level. We give small businesses
the same technology capabilities as much larger ones. We help multinational firms work
more closely and efficiently with their partners, suppliers and customers. And we do it
virtually anywhere their work takes them — down the street or around the world.
We also find new ways to connect mobile workers to the people, information and tools they
need. AT&T connectivity gives mobile workers real-time access to complex computer systems
and databases. Features such as instant messaging, video, speech-to-text and GPS navigation
increase productivity. Bottom line: mobile workers can access the resources and
information they need.
AT&T solutions also help businesses work smarter. With AT&T’s cloud computing offerings,
such as Storage as a Service and Compute as a Service, companies of all sizes can
adapt to changing needs and seasonal shifts in demand with flexible, highly secure,
pay-as-you-go connectivity. By eliminating the need to buy and support extra equipment
and data-storage capacity, these solutions help companies dramatically reduce computing
costs without sacrificing speed or service quality.
Few competitors can draw on as wide a range of proven enterprise technology and
expertise as AT&T can to deliver innovative solutions for small and medium businesses.
And our local business search and advertising services offer opportunities for businesses and
consumers to connect via print, Internet, mobile device and IPTV.
No company does a better job of connecting businesses of all sizes to growth and
opportunity than AT&T.
FORTUNE magazine named AT&T one of the 50 “World’s Most Admired
Companies” in 2009.
