Wallenborn selects Telindus Telecom as Preferred partner for its Cloud Computing and Connectivity

Luxembourg, February 24, 2014– Telindus Luxembourg is proud to announce its partnership with Wallenborn, a key player in the world of transportation in Europe, Scandinavia, and recently also in the Gulf States. Responsivness of Telindus teams and its “end-to-end” solution have greatly influenced the choice of Wallenborn.

Specialized in air freight, in high value and conventional cargo, the company has extended its expertise to the Cold Chain sector and more particularly to the transportation of pharmaceuticals under controlled temperatures, and has obtained a GDP certification (Good Distribution Practices). In addition to this innovation, Wallenborn applies monitoring and geofencing technologies allowing a surveillance team to follow the vehicle fleet in real time 24h/24 and receive alerts in case of route and time deviations, temperature excursion or opening doors. These innovations and certifications require working with a solid IT and connectivity provider that facilitates and enhances technology convergence and customer interface.

Having already experimented cloud computing with two different providers, the challenge for Wallenborn was to trust a unique partner for outsourcing as well as connectivity and ICT resources. With the evolution of the market and of Wallenborn’s ambitions, a reliable IT solution was needed. The priority was to find a supplier able to provide the needed security and a 24/7 support. Moreover, the challenge also demanded the transfer from two partners to a single one. Telindus rapidly established itself as THE only one capable of responding to Wallenborn’s Cloud and Connectivity needs.

Telindus responded to the challenge by setting up a global Cloud and connectivity solution, both nationally and internationally. Wallenborn’s entire IT infrastructure is now managed in Telindus Telecom-s “U-flex” Cloud and benefits from a 24h/24 accessible service desk. If the transfer of the IT environment to Telindus was a sensitive step in the data migration, this operation could take place efficiently with full respect of the imposed deadlines and a near-instant information changeover, without impact on the employees’ activity.

Wallenborn today achieved improvements in flexibility and cost optimization, which allows the development of new markets through a real added value. The company can count on a reliable and responsive partner now has a single point of contact and a stable environment.

“The entire IT branch has been entrusted to Telindus, who is one of the most reliable partners providing a 24h/24 monitoring of our data and who has all necessary certifications to reassure our customers˝ explained Paul Salhani, Chief Financial Officer de Wallenborn.

“We are extremely pleased by this partnership because the transaction allowed Wallenborn to focus all its energy and skills on its core business, keep innovating and thus obtain new certification levels”, said Franciane Gazzini, Account Manager chez Telindus.
