Charles Stanley & Company and Multi Corporation choose Easynet Global Services

LONDON, 3 December 2009 – Easynet Global Services today announces major new customer wins with financial services firm Charles Stanley and commercial property company Multi Corporation.

Easynet Global Services’ consultancy-led approach and focus on customer services has led to some significant contracts signed in the real estate sector. The industry requires a large amount of mobile and remote working, with a need to connect multiple sites and widely dispersed users. As part of a 3.2 million euro, three-year contract with Multi Corporation, the leading commercial developer of inner-city retail space, Easynet is supplying MPLS to 50 sites across Europe. In addition, Multi Corporation is also using Easynet’s EtherStream solution to provide flexible, high speed access for employees to IT applications at its different office locations.

In the financial services industry there is a need for robust security, resilience and quality of service. The need to streamline operations and make real-time transactions is critical. Easynet Global Services has a strong track record in this sector, and an understanding of the data requirements specific to this industry. As a result, it has secured a five-year contract with Charles Stanley, one of the UK’s leading independently owned stock broking and investment management groups. The deal will see the implementation of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network solution across 34 sites in the UK, bringing high quality and fast network services with significant cost benefits.

Denis Planat, Chief Operating Officer for Easynet Global Services said: “It has been a challenging year for many businesses and particularly for the financial and commercial property sector. Now more than ever, companies such as Charles Stanley and Multi Corporation are great examples of how innovative technology can help streamline operations and improve efficiency.”

He continued, “Easynet has been consistently focusing on delivering high quality and services with strong customer engagement. This has allowed us to grow our business significantly - by 16% - in times where our competitors have major challenges delivering flexibility and innovation”.
