TAG signs with isdn datacom

TAG has signed up with cut-price data call provider isdn datacom to cut advertising delivery costs.

It hopes to save 30-40% around 400 per month by switching from the current suppliers of its two 30-channel ISDN systems, which include BT.

"The ad spend this year means we have to control costs," said group technical director Mark Eggleton.

TAG uses most forms of data transfer, including WAM!NET, Vio, ISDN, FTP, Quickcut and Adfast. To supply newspapers in their preferred format it sends a lot of work via ISDN using ADS.

Around 200 graphic arts firms, including Mullis Morgan and TFG, use isdn datacom for their ISDN traffic. It is a recommended supplier for Hermstedt and can also be used by 4Sight customers.
