Hewden, the UK’s largest plant hire company, has renewed
its £20m outsourcing deal with BT, which will be its fully managed
network IT services provider.
The deal lays the foundation for Hewden to implement a new
technology plan, starting with the replacement of old legacy
servers as it adopts a new
enterprise resource planning platform.
BT will install and manage an entirely new
multi-protocol label switching (MPLS)
network across 100 sites in Hewden’s estate, and replace
Hewden’s old green-screen terminals with up-to-date PCs.
Hewden will also have all of its sales and mobile working staff
using 3G mobile laptops for the first time, increasing flexibility
and efficiency.
Doug Sprout, CEO at Hewden, said, “We want to remove barriers to
consistently exceeding customer expectations. This project is a
vital element of that strategy.”
