As 13 year AT&T Solutions Partner we have had great success deploying AT&T MPLS networks for our customers. It will be interesting to see how AT&T can add these types of collaboration services to their existing offering. Most customers are currently deploying these services internally and having us install Riverbed Steelhead appliances to accelerate the applications that are critical to the business. This is working well for our customers.
