BRUSSELS – The Puratos Group needed to tap the power of advanced technology to fuel global growth without losing the human touch its customers expect.
Verizon Business had the solution: an integrated networking and communications offering that provides the Puratos Group with a secure and highly scalable foundation for advanced business applications while enabling stronger collaboration with the company’s employees, customers and partners around the globe.
The Puratos Group develops, produces and distributes ingredients for bakers, pastry chefs and chocolatiers around the globe, and also offers comprehensive training and research programmes to help its customers realise their own business goals. In addition to a network infrastructure that could grow with it, the family-run company wanted to maintain a strong human dimension in all its internal and external communications activities – something it views as a key competitive differentiator.
Verizon Business offered a dual-hub (Belgium and USA) solution that offered employees in the Americas and Europe secure Internet access to support seamless collaboration. Verizon’s comprehensive network capabilities, including advanced monitoring and reporting and supported by stringent global service-level agreements help maximise network performance around the globe. Most importantly, the Puratos Group is also leveraging Verizon’s high capacity global network to support video conferencing capabilities, helping its employees to reduce travel costs, and the company’s overall carbon footprint.
Sven Deneubourg, Puratos group ICT infrastructure manager, said: “We are a very ambitious organisation and view innovation as part of our DNA. Our IT infrastructure therefore has a crucial role to play in helping us drive our business forward – and help our customers realise their business goals. We were looking for a technology partner who really understood our business – and shared our cultural values – to help us move our operations to the next level. Verizon Business is just that – and also has the global reach and proven technology leadership and innovation to help us use technology as a real strategic differentiator.”
Verizon is a global leader in driving better business outcomes for mid-sized and large enterprises and government agencies.
