TSTT supports national diversification agenda

“This is something that TSTT takes up as a daily challenge.

TSTT’s vision - ‘To be the standard bearer for leading edge technology in Trinidad and Tobago that enriches the lives of citizens, businesses and visitors’ - perfectly embraces the goals of TIC 2017.” Stating that the convergence of business and ICT development is fundamental to driving the rapid changes in businesses and their operating models that are required for market success, Goswami continued, “It is said that data is the new oil, both in terms of data centre services and data traffic.” “These are driving better management and decision- making not just by businesses but by consumers as well. Data is creating an enabling environment for innovations in Robotics, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Biology and Cloud Technology among other things.” Goswami expressed confidence that visitors to TIC 2017; held from July 6 to 9 at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya, would be very appreciative of what TSTT has to offer because the company places a premium on investing in future-proof technology to enable local businesses to compete more efficiently.

Goswami also assured that companies interested in setting up business in TT can have the confidence that they will access the same communications technology that is available in the developed markets of the world. One example he gave was that of the award of full ANSI/TIA-942 certification for TSTT’s Data Centre in September 2016, making it the first and only level 3 rated data centre provider in the Caribbean and Latin America.

The Tier 3 TIA-942 Certificate is a guarantee to local companies and international businesses operating locally, that TSTT’s data centre offers the highest levels of service availability, as well as a warranty that TSTT has followed the established, international, best-practice guidelines.

Goswami noted that the benefits and capabilities of TSTT’s world-class data centre include to host, store and manage mission critical data to help reduce business risks and lower costs; optimize digital assets and achieve a quicker turnover of data analytics resulting in increased productivity, profitability and growth.

Goswami added that the impact of TSTT’s 4G LTE mobile data network, the country’s first and only, which is capable of delivering data speeds of over 50 megabits per second on mobile devices.
