Vodafone Delivers a Pan-Regional Solution and Greater Cost Efficiencies Across Mobile Telecoms Estate

Vodafone Global Enterprise, the dedicated division of Vodafone that manages the communication needs of its largest Enterprise customers, has won a five year contract to provide Deutsche Post DHL (DPDHL) with a Mobile voice and data solution across 15 countries in the Asia Pacific markets.

Vodafone Global Enterprise will be simplifying the management of mobile telecoms within DPDHL in the region, through integrated management of costs and the provision of superior levels of control. DPDHL can now enjoy a highly competitive cost base for its Asia Pacific mobile communications needs, combined with spend reporting and optimisation services, ensuring simplicity of management. This significant deal confirms Vodafone Global Enterprise as a truly pan-Asian supplier.

Vodafone Global Enterprise will be providing DPDHL’s Express, Supply Chain, Global Forwarding, Global Mail and Global Business Services Business Units with its Vodafone Telecoms Management (VTM) platform, which delivers integrated processes for configuration, inventory and expense management. Additionally, Vodafone has built a full vendor management capability in Asia Pacific to deliver the agreed services, meaning DPDHL has to deal with the minimum vendor complexity, allowing DPDHL to focus on providing exceptional services to its customers.

The contract will provide Vodafone Global Enterprise with a stronger foothold in the Asia Pacific market as a leading provider of telecommunications services to large enterprises.

“We believe that Vodafone Global Enterprise has the leading Managed Mobility Services capability in the Asia Pacific region, which will simplify the management of our mobile voice and data estate,” says Ralf Weissbeck, Managing Director of IT Services at DPDHL. “Vodafone Global Enterprise also demonstrated its capability in delivering a truly regional mobile voice and data solution that enables us to manage our mobile estate through a single source.”

“Mobile voice and data solutions are at the heart of large enterprises today,” says Vodafone Global Enterprise CEO, Nick Jeffery. “Vodafone Global Enterprise will be helping DPDHL manage its mobile costs and enjoy consistent service levels across its fast growing Asia Pacific business. Through Vodafone Global Enterprise’s footprint, we are able to offer solutions such as the one for DPDHL, not only in Europe, but everywhere our customers operate.”
