    The new solution was unveiled by Italtel during 'The New Collaboration Age: beyond
cost reduction for a smarter job', an event organized by Italtel and taking place at the
new Unicredit Tower Hall in Milan. Speakers included Valentina Aprea, Council Member of
Lombardy Region, Paolo Cederle, CEO of Unicredit Business Integrated Solutions, Stefano
Pileri, Italtel CEO, Stefano Mainetti, Professor at Politecnico Milano, and Maurizio
Tondi, Head of Market Development EMEA at Italtel.

    "Unified Communication and Collaboration is a strategic lever for the growth
ofenterprise businesses," commented Stefano Pileri, CEO of Italtel. "We have designed and
created the solution Collaboration At Work to leverage our key values and assets; the
capacity to design and produce innovative products that integrate market solutions, solid
partnerships with key technology leaders, certified engineers and ourvast test plants for
monitoring and testing of end-to-end network services. This solution and the products it
is based onwhich are experiencing growing success in the market,are the result of our
capacity to be innovative and bring that innovation rapidly in field."

    Collaboration At Work is designed to provide significant cost reduction while
introducing interoperability among communication tools already present in an enterprise
and mobile access with no localization limits. Today companies aiming to achieve this have
a multitude of different collaboration technologies at their disposal that are separated.
Moreover, most companies are connected in an expensive and obsolete way to public
networks. This solution integrates and fine-tunes the technologies in a best-of-breed
logical way, adds new ones based on web technologies and innovates the way companies
interconnect to public networks whilst allowing an overall cost reduction of about 50% for
telecommunication services.

    "Lombardy is one of the regions in Europe with the highest number of companies active
in the ICT and Communication segments," said Valentina Aprea, Council Member of Lombardy
Region for Education, Training and Labour. "In a particularly critical period for the ICT
sector, it is fundamental to givespecific attention to high tech companies that represent
a real value for the Region and for Italyin order to support the sector through a joint
action. For this reason we particularly appreciate that Italtel has concentrated its
R&Dlabs in Lombardy. More specifically, we consider of the highest relevance the
commitment of Italtel into supporting R&D activities and developing a new solution, like
'Collaboration At Work'".

    Ease of use is a key feature of Collaboration At Work with the same user experience
required to manage a video-communication as for a simple voice call due to the operating
activities being extremely fast and easy. Each employee is identified by a single number,
even though they can be reached at the same time on more than one device and can switch
the call from one device to another. When several users are required to attend a remote
videoconference, the solution allows the use of different technologies and terminals,
enabling material to be shared with all clients and on all terminals.

    Collaboration At Work also offers important advantages to external stakeholder's
ecosystems which can access real-time enterprise services via web browsers by using
Italtel's Embrace product based on WebRTC technology. A supplier, for example, which needs
to contact the purchase department of a company using Collaboration At Work can consult a
personalized and dedicated telephone book and make a video-call through the browser. The
solution can be fully integrated with enterprise Contact Center systems and supports BYOD
management.
