CHICAGO, May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T)
today announced that it has won a multimillion-dollar global
networking contract from R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company
(NYSE:RRD), the world's premier full- service provider of print and
related services, including document-based business-process
outsourcing. Specific terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Under the agreement, AT&T will provide an Internet Protocol
Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) based on AT&T's
industry-leading Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) platform that

Donnelley will be able to consolidate multiple legacy networking
technologies onto a single, secure, reliable and easily scaled
network infrastructure that can carry voice, video and other types
of data traffic. The AT&T solution will enable RR Donnelley to
transition from traditional phone services to Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) technology. The contract renews and expands an
existing strategic relationship in which AT&T provides RR
Donnelley with a full range of networking services, including
local, long distance and conferencing services. AT&T also
provides hosting services to RR Donnelley from one of its 30
Internet data centers (IDCs) around the world. "We're pleased to
