AT&T Inc. has signed a three-year contract with Bruce Food Corp. of New Iberia, La., to provide voice and data network services.

Financial terms of the contract were not released.

Bruce Foods is one of the largest privately owned food manufacturers in the United States with more than 1,200 employees and operations in Louisiana, North Carolina and Texas.

"We needed a cost-efficient, unified network platform to help improve communications between our various manufacturing plants," says Bruce Parker, chief financial officer for Bruce Foods. "We're confident that the AT&T VPN (virtual private network) solution will allow us to plan business operation continuity in the face of disaster and provide confidence in our overall network performance.
