CenterLine keeps plant-floor communications secure and current with Mitel Software Assurance

At a Glance

CenterLine's Mitel communications platform connects engineering, plant operations, quality, and leadership teams across its global sites. "Mitel Software Assurance isn't just a support contract," says Judy Abbott of CenterLine. "It's a foundational part of maintaining operational readiness [and] managing risk." Software Assurance bundles regular software releases, security updates, and direct access to Mitel expert support into one subscription. For IT leadership, that turns platform upkeep from an ad hoc project into a planned, budgeted line item.
