Agfa Chooses Verizon Enterprise Solutions for Global Network Transformation
November 27 2018 - 1:00PM
The Agfa-Gevaert Group (Agfa) has signed up with Verizon Enterprise
Solutions to transform its global network infrastructure. The
company has chosen Verizon’s managed network services and
software-defined networking solutions as part of a global
transformation that aims to build a best-in-class network to
support future growth.
Verizon will take on the global management of Agfa’s network,
freeing up Agfa’s own IT department to focus on innovation in
service and solution delivery. In addition, by deploying Verizon’s
software-defined network solutions, Agfa will be able to quickly
flex and adapt its global network infrastructure to more
effectively support business needs.
The Agfa-Gevaert Group serves customers in over 100 countries
around the globe from its Belgian headquarters. The company
develops, manufactures and distributes analog and
digital imaging systems and IT solutions for printing,
healthcare and industrial applications.
Agfa’s business today is oriented around three distinct groups:
Agfa Graphics, which provides commercial prepress and wide-format
inkjet print solutions; Agfa Healthcare, which provides diagnostic
imaging and healthcare IT solutions; and Agfa Specialty Products,
which produces film-based products and innovative material
solutions, such as synthetic paper, and conductive organic
materials.
“Agfa has reinvented itself over recent years,” said Caroline
van Rompuy, Agfa’s CIO. “It’s important that our systems are able
to support us as we continue to expand our product and solution
portfolio – and most importantly, that they help us to better
support our customers. This network transformation is a crucial
element of our business strategy, and will deliver a flexible,
scalable and agile global infrastructure fit to support our
business today and into the future.”
Rich Montgomery, Verizon’s international group vice president,
commented: “Agfa is a long-term Verizon customer, and has leveraged
Verizon’s global network to connect its 80+ locations around the
world for over a decade. This move into virtualized network
services will help the company better serve its customers around
the globe as its own business transforms. Agfa has reinvented its
business in the digital age – now it’s reinventing its network as
well.”
