First engagement features accelerated delivery of IT transformation
project to 40 international sites in six weeks for Campofrio Food Group
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 11, 2014--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, announced today that its Telecom & Technology line of
business is providing maintenance and deployment services to the largest
independent network and hosting integrator in Europe, Easynet.
This includes provision of a complete end-to-end solution of equipment
sourcing, staging, shipping and installation services, with lifecycle
management of parts and labor. This allows Easynet to focus on network
delivery, configuration and management for its customers, with NCR
delivering the hardware and installation services element for specific
projects.
An early example of the NCR and Easynet partnership is a highly
successful, rapid deployment early in 2014 when Campofrio
Food Group chose to work with Easynet Global Services to transform
its IT infrastructure at over 40 sites internationally in just six weeks.
With a global footprint of 13,000 service professionals in more than 180
countries around the world, NCR is well positioned to partner with
Easynet virtually anywhere their customers wish. NCR provides
maintenance and deployment services through a specialist team of project
management and technical professionals to enable technology providers,
like Easynet, to operate more effectively and efficiently, and grow
their businesses. The result is customer projects, including Campofrio’s
IT transformation, delivered on time, on plan and on budget and with the
flexibility you would expect of a global technology company, such as NCR.
"Good business is about strong relationships that add value to our
customers. NCR has the reach and expertise that enable Easynet to exceed
customer expectations and deliver complex projects quickly, on time and
on budget,” said Christophe Verdenne, managing director for Southern
Europe at Easynet. ”The design and accelerated delivery of Campofrio
Food Group’s IT transformation was one such project. Their vision and
desire for change, coupled with Easynet's track record in rolling out
global projects and NCR’s global service capabilities has resulted in a
powerful and potent IT infrastructure that is ready for the future."
Campofrio Food Group, a leading provider of meat products in Europe and
the United States with revenues of two billion Euros, signed a
three-year global contract with Easynet as part of its IT transformation
programme. This includes service provision for Campofrio’s MPLS network
in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Portugal and the
USA, as well as managed security and video conference solutions. NCR is
providing the maintenance and deployment services to Easynet to enable
this.
Campofrio Food Group made this strategic investment in its IT
infrastructure by implementing a 'smart' corporate network solution and
the application performance management solution (APM) to improve
collaboration and cost efficiency across their business. Powerful,
strategic integrated IT was needed to drive change across the
organization in order to improve collaboration and communication, and
ensure that Campofrio is well positioned to enable future growth.
"Technology and telecom providers, such as Easynet, must differentiate
in today’s competitive international market. Innovative technology and
strong relationships are the lifeblood of such differentiation," said
Sophia Williams, vice president and general manager, Telecom &
Technology line of business at NCR. "Our experience, global footprint
and technical knowledge allow our customers to go to market faster while
improving service quality. We are proud to be working with Easynet to
help them deliver on their core value proposition with our proven
service solutions."
