HORSHAM, Pa. -- AT&T has won a three-year, $3 million networking services contract from Toll Brothers Inc., one of the nation’s premier builders of luxury homes.

The contract designates AT&T as Toll Brothers’ primary network provider, giving Toll Brothers increased bandwidth and business continuity capabilities while reducing the total cost of the solution. Toll Brothers’ network links 75 domestic sites and provides employees access to proprietary business applications, e-mail and the Internet.

“To remain an industry leader, our staff must have reliable access to the tools they need to provide the best possible product and service to our customers,” said George Nelson, CIO for Toll Brothers Inc. “AT&T’s network has proven itself to be very reliable, and by continuing our relationship with AT&T as our network provider, we’re assured the same service and reliability we’ve enjoyed in the past.”

Through the secure AT&T BusinessDirect® portal, Toll Brothers also has online access to tools that provide real-time reports on network performance and direct access to billing, ordering, status, inventory and trouble management systems. AT&T BusinessDirect was recently recognized by the Yankee Group for providing customers with the strongest online support and services experience in the industry.
