Valeo Expands Cooperation with Comarch and Starts a Project in Germany
The German branch of Valeo, an international group which specializes in designing car components for leading manufacturers chose the offer of Comarch ICT. Valeo has previously outsourced some of the IT processes, but in order to raise the standard of services, the company decided to change the provider of outsourcing services and chose Comarch ICT.
The project which began in 2014 includes the maintenance of IT infrastructure and support for the users. It is a continuation of previous cooperation between the two companies in other European markets.
Valeo Group cooperates with Comarch for several years. The first IT outsourcing project was launched in Poland and Slovakia, the next one in Norway and the Netherlands. Therefore, when we were planning to switch providers, Comarch seemed to be one of the most reasonable choices due to the recommendation from Valeo Poland. Excellent client portfolio, high quality of services, as well as flexibility and experienced team of engineers assured us that Comarch is a professional partner - says Thomas Mathes, Regional IT Infrastructure Manager at Valeo GmbH.
To handle everyday business processes carried out by their employees Valeo needs an extensive network and server infrastructure. After the contract has been signed, the monthly plan includes Service Desk services, support for more than 4.7k users at 19 locations throughout Germany, server infrastructure management, LAN, SAN, WAN administration, backup and archiving as well as monitoring of availability and performance of IT infrastructure. All critical systems are supported 24/7/365.
Services provided to Valeo are of the highest quality. Our cooperation is based on a precisely defined catalogue of services and detailed service-level agreement parameters defined for each item. Such a model of cooperation requires continuous service monitoring, reporting and analyzing the results. This is undoubtedly a challenge, but we like this kind of challenges - says Pawel Szymanski, Business Solution Manager at Comarch.
