Global brewer Carlsberg has selected Verizon Business as its new network operations partner for Carlsberg’s European operations.
As per the new, four-year agreement, Verizon Business will deliver an integrated IT networking offering, supported by comprehensive managed services and security offerings across 20 countries in Europe.
Verizon Business will also consolidate Carlsberg’s European IT services onto a fully managed, advanced corporate network, and encompass wide and local area networks, Internet connectivity, data and security.
In addition, Verizon will also provide Carlsberg with a single-touch account team, which consolidates all aspects of network management.
The model leverages Verizon’s experience in managing local and global networks and relationships, providing an IT infrastructure that can be quickly scaled as Carlsberg’s business needs dictate.
Carlsberg chief information officer Kenneth Egelund Schmidt said they felt that a centralised, outsourced network model was the right way forward for their business in Europe, and in Verizon, they have chosen a global provider for whom network services are a core competence.
