Orange Business Services has signed a global three-year, multimillion-euro contract to provide a managed wide area network solution to Swarovski, the world’s leading manufacturer of precision cut crystal headquartered in Wattens, Austria. The new deal will link more than 6,000 users at Swarovski’s production and sales offices worldwide, bringing significant cost savings, higher bandwidth and flexibility to its communications infrastructure. “We were looking for a future-ready solution from a single provider that would let us map all of our business processes from end to end,” said Helmut Krimbacher, CIO, Swarovski. “We now have a transparent and integrated network that’s easy to manage. Our plans for the future include connecting all of our worldwide locations, implementing solutions for small offices and giving our mobile workers secure network access. And last but not least, we also intend to migrate our outmoded voice traffic to the new IP VPN in order to simplify communication and save money. Working with Orange Business Services means that all these objectives can be achieved on a totally transparent way on our part.”
