BAT Signs Global Communications Deal

British American Tobacco (BAT) has partnered with BT in a global managed services agreement.

 

Delivering a high performance IP-based network, BT will manage BAT’s global wide area network infrastructure, including remote access, network security and third-party supplier management across nearly 1,000 sites in 119 countries. 

 

“BT’s expertise and experience supporting other global consumer packaged goods companies was a strong factor in our decision,” says Phil Colman, CIO for BAT.  “We were also impressed with BT’s extensive global network, their desire and ability to improve the services continuously through innovation, and in-country resources, particularly in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions.”
