BT managed network service eases divestment and lets global technology company focus on core business
Spinning out a business unit from a corporation into a standalone company is no easy task. There are literally hundreds of things to consider, not least the separation of IT systems and networks.
That was the challenge faced by Guenther Ernst, CIO at the newly formed Siemens Enterprise Communications. Looking for a single network operator he saw that BT had the scale and reach to support the new company globally.
The rest is history. Following a successful migration, BT assisted the company to improve application performance and get better value from its network. Was Siemens Enterprise Communications impressed? Well, it’s extended the BT contract to 2014.
“BT has been Siemens Enterprise Communications’ global supplier for WAN and internet access services since 2008. The contract between us was extended due to BT’s outstanding performance and flexibility, our satisfaction, and the terms and conditions offered.”
