Bata Schuh AGThe comprehensive new ICT solution - a huge step into the future

Bata Schuh AG made a thorough appraisal of its ICT services when the company relocated its headquarters from Möhlin to Pratteln. Working with Swisscom, the company came to a decision that was as revolutionary as it was surprising: it is worth outsourcing the operation and maintenance of the entire voice and data network and not just the installation.

How should over 62 branches be connected to the new head office? Would it be advantageous to switch the telephone system to Voice over IP (VoIP)? Bata needed to clarify these and many other questions before they relocated offices. Swisscom delivered the solution in the form of One NetBase, an attractive overall solution. For a fixed monthly price Bata was provided with all services for the LAN (network within the company), WAN (link between the branches and the head office) and VoIP telephony throughout the company.

According to Bata managers the solution was so cost-effective that it was irresistible. The benefit to the company was that there was no investment in hardware and the costs of the new communications package was transparent and could be calculated. And it is based on a safe, high-performance network with excellent availability which can easily be extended at any time. Thanks to One NetBase, Bata now has more time for its core business.
