NEW YORK, April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV), a multi-billion dollar global portfolio of manufacturing companies providing innovative components and equipment, is working with AT&T* (NYSE: T) to unify and amplify communications services throughout its entire network of operating companies. Under a new five-year contract, Dover will implement a bundled package of AT&T's voice, unified communications and mobility services to support the organization's complete overhaul of its corporate telecommunications strategy, which will centralize services across its portfolio of 35 reporting units in the industrial products, engineered systems, fluid management and electronic technologies industries.
"As a global company with numerous partners, we knew we could operate much more efficiently by uniting on one network and utilizing the same key services," said Marina Trost, Global Supply Chain Manager of Technology for Dover.
