New Delhi: Tata Communications on Friday said it has signed a USD 20 million multi-year deal with Germany-based KION Group to provide global wide area network (WAN) services to the group's 330 sites across 30 countries.
As part of the deal, Tata Communications will replace the KION Group's existing stable of multiple WAN providers with a single global network, the company said in a statement.
The company said the new network will form an important pillar of the KION Group's strategy 2020 plan to create economies of scale across the entire group with its six global and regional brands.
"A single global provider would enable us to simplify our network management, but the advanced services that Tata Communications provides are going a step further in allowing us to take complete control of the traffic on our network," KION Group Chief Information Officer Walter Gruner said.
The KION Group is the second largest global manufacturer of forklift trucks and warehouse technology.
