Getronics, a global leader in IT workspace management services, today announced a contract with Ford® to install, deploy, and manage a voicemail, audio conferencing, and web collaboration solution based on the Cisco® Unified Communications solution suite. A unified communications solution should help Ford realize significant cost savings associated with convergence technology and maximize employees’ productivity and effectiveness.

Getronics has been working with Ford in Europe for more than 22 years providing workspace management services for more than 29,000 desktops, 500 servers, and an extensive range of networking equipment. In fact, the top-notch services delivered from the Getronics U.K. facility earned Ford’s prestigious Quality One award. Ford’s Quality One award recognizes vendors and suppliers that meet or exceed Ford’s stringent criteria for customer satisfaction, quality, punctual delivery, technology, innovation, and administration. In addition to its work with Ford in Europe, Getronics also provides services to Ford in Asia Pacific and the Americas.

Getronics’ dedication to the Six Sigma methodology, a disciplined approach to quality that drives cost efficiency in service delivery, will play a key role in the  implementation. The new unified communications solution delivered and managed by Getronics will enable a year over year savings, while consolidating Ford’s technology infrastructure onto a single networking infrastructure.
