Easynet staved off competition from France Telecom, MCI and AT&T to secure the business, which will see Kohler outsource its entire EMEA network to Easynet. The company will maintain control and visibility of its network performance, as Easynet supplies online end-to-end statistics. Outsourcing its network leaves the organisation free to concentrate on its core competencies whilst increasing efficiencies and making significant cost savings.
Bob Hungerford, Director of IT, Kohler Kitchen & Bath Europe explained why it chose Easynet above the competition. “Easynet’s agility was one of the key drivers in our decision. The bespoke solution proposed by the team fully supports Kohler’s business strategy of growth through acquisition. We instantly developed an excellent relationship with the Easynet team and felt that they really understood what we were trying to achieve. We have every confidence that Easynet will help us reach our strategic business objectives.”
David Rowe, Easynet’s chief executive officer, said: “This is a showcase for Easynet’s capabilities in Europe and beyond. Kohler is a dynamic, ambitious organisation, and its network is driving forward real transformation, supporting new applications which will have a significant, positive impact on the entire business. We’re very excited to be a part of this.”
