University of Applied Sciences Carinthia

Strongly connected

The Fachhochschule (FH) Kärnten (UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES CARINTHIA) and NTS have been working together successfully for more than 20 years. The collaboration is characterized by appreciation, trust, and a high quality of service and all this also connects at a technical as well as a human level.

When it involves the cooperation with NTS, the Information & Communication Technology (IKT) department team at the FH Kärnten shows an inclination towards chemistry, which – according to them – is simply right after many years of collaboration: “NTS simply understands how important it is in keeping our technical services state-of-the-art but at the same time still making it able to implement it as agile as possible,” joyfully remarks André Egger, Deputy Head of IT at the FH Kärnten.

Students are accessing the learning platforms, the network drives and the servers around-the-clock – from everywhere with different devices. They receive their assignments from the network and upload their exam papers. Despite this high volume of traffic, the traffic lights need to on stay green all the time. Here, it is a daily task of the FH team to balance between a user-friendly service and the safety requirements. Christina Unterluggauer, Head of IKT, FH Kärnten, adds an aspect for the future: “Thanks to our homogenous infrastructure that was implemented by NTS, we were able to avoid a lot of technical problems in the past and will certainly continue to do so in the future.”

FH Kärnten counts on Cisco Webex calling when telephony and collaboration experience is needed. This calling solution is based on the Cisco Webex Cloud platform. Powerful Cloud-Calling functions are captivating along with the high quality, predictable costs, along with a simple administration. Egger confirms: “We are very glad to have NTS as our partner for technical solutions. NTS always show a perfect cost-benefit ratio and are always aligned to our technical demands.”
