Confed gets CUG connection

After much expectations from the members, Confederation of Information Technology Association (Confed-ITA) has successfully signed with telecom provider Aircel for a CUG (Closed User Group) connection through which any number of calls made to the numbers within the connection will not be charged. With the new connection, a channel partner from North Arcot district can speak to his counterpart in Kanyakumari district at a free of cost.

Speaking to ‘The DQ Week', B.Kuberan, President, Confed-ITA, said, "We got proposals from various companies for this CUG connection and after several rounds of discussions, we have finalized with Aircel. A number starting with 73730 will be provided for those who are availing the new connections. However, existing Aircel customers can give a requisition letter through which they will come under the new scheme." "Not just the members, the scheme can also be utilized by the vendor executives, family and staff of the Confed members which will be another advantage". He further added. "We are getting good responses across the state and hopefully this scheme would be successful", he concluded.

The members can approach the presidents of the respective districts they belong who are already in touch with the Aircel executives.
Beyond association, almost all the members do business within themselves, where they make have to make a huge number of calls with other member for product purchase, warranty, billing, payment and so on. This scheme is expected to be one of the most useful schemes.
