The three-year agreement calls for deployment of AT&T virtual private network (VPN) services, which will connect 70 Express Scripts locations in the US.
AT&T’s VPN technology will provide Express Scripts with a robust and flexible network service, allowing unified communications among US locations. The service will deliver increased bandwidth to Express Scripts over AT&T’s fully meshed, highly redundant IP network using multiprotocol label switching architecture.
AT&T’s networking services provide efficiencies in operations, facilitate growth and enhance the service we provide to our clients, said Charlie Moore, senior director of IT infrastructure support with Express Scripts. These networking services are ultimately all about providing patients with the knowledge, experience and care they need to make the most out of their pharmacy benefit.
AT&T will also provide AT&T Toll-Free Advanced Features to support Express Scripts’ seven US patient care contact centers, which operate 24 hours a day.
The contract also includes managed internet services, conferencing services and long distance voice services.
