Success stories

The challenge

In 2003, for business and organisational reasons, the management of PSP Swiss Property AG decided to outsource the entire IT infrastructure of the company and all IT workstations. As a result, the business and its approximately 90 employees were able to focus entirely on the company’s core competencies. Following an extensive evaluation, Swisscom was awarded the contract, laying the foundations for the partnership that still exists today.
 
The main factors that swung the decision were the presence of Swisscom specialists in all language regions of Switzerland, the specific expertise, the strong customer orientation and the attractive price/performance ratio.

The support offered by Swisscom

Swisscom supported PSP by commissioning a platform, providing new servers and taking over operation of the server infrastructure and all associated services. The decentralised operation and monitoring of the networks and platforms presented a particular challenge. The hard work was rewarded with incredibly stable and powerful network performance.

All services, which were provided in the required quality and more cost effectively by Swisscom, were outsourced, resulting in cost savings of around 20 percent. Five years after the start of the project, a contract extension was agreed and executed.

The challenge

The Federation of Migros Cooperatives’ M-Workplace project was initiated to supply around 20,000 employees with new IT workstations. The centrally managed workplaces were only to receive the individual applications required for the specific field of application. The software to be supplied as part of this included office applications, CAD applications and multilingual label programs. Migros was looking for a partner for on-time packaging to accommodate output peaks during the rollout.

The support offered by Swisscom

Migros has benefited not only from the geographical proximity to Swisscom with its extensive experience in software packaging, but also from Swisscom’s commitment to create 600 time-critical packages per month at transparent, predictable costs. Swisscom is thus available to advise on the formulation of the requirements, test the packages and guarantee timely delivery. The packages are always delivered on time, however many are required.
