KPN is providing Siemens with a network solution that connects seven A&D locations across 1800 km of KPN's fiber network in Germany.
Siemens A&D selected a secure and reliable network that would enable them to exchange important information and run vital business applications at high speed between their various data centres in Southern Germany. With the new network in place, Siemens A&D is now able to realise both financial and operational improvements. Furthermore, Siemens A&D has invested in a future-proof solution that will be able to accommodate all their capacity needs for the foreseeable future.
As Peter Kurtz, CIO, Siemens A&D observed, "KPN had the high-capacity network footprint in all the right locations for connecting our business across Southern Germany, which was a good start. But they also provided us with the right solution to keep our vital applications running, which then enables us to make a clear business case outlining both our operational improvements and cost savings."
Commenting on this significant customer win, Henjo Groenewegen, Senior Vice President KPN, observed, "KPN is proud to have been chosen by Siemens A&D, a market leader in their field, as one of their network suppliers in Germany. We believe that we were able to offer them both flexibility and reliability in our approach, as well as the expertise to deliver, implement and operate their network solution."
