NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TNT, one of
the world's largest express delivery companies, has chosen Verizon
Enterprise Solutions to implement its global communications
infrastructure. Verizon will provide global network, telephony and
conferencing services, as well as comprehensive security solutions,
to help TNT's 58,000 employees collaborate and deliver seamless,
efficient and effective service to TNT's customer base of companies
around the world.
In 2014, TNT launched a strategy called Outlook to drive
profitable growth, achieve operational excellence and organize to
win. Simplifying and transforming IT is particularly important in
helping TNT to deliver a perfect transaction to customers, from
order, through tracking, to delivery of their consignments.
A cornerstone of global business operations is a strong network
foundation. Verizon has been chosen to deliver a new,
high-capacity, secure and reliable network infrastructure to link
TNT's 3,000-plus hubs and depots worldwide. Unified communications
and collaboration solutions, including video, audio and net
conferencing, will enable TNT to facilitate communications while
also improving productivity. Most importantly, with the Verizon
team taking responsibility for all network management and
operational needs, TNT's internal team is able to focus all its
efforts on supporting the company's strategic goals.
Rich Montgomery, Verizon's EMEA
general manager, commented: "Major transformation projects such as
the one TNT is undertaking are always fascinating, but there are
challenges. We are always mindful of the trust that our customers
place in our ability to help them realize their business goals, and
we work hard to ensure that trust is not misplaced. It's truly a
question of effective teamwork, and with TNT we have a great
partnership that we know will reap rewards."
