Sandd Outsources Strategic IT-Systems to Terremark

  
    
  
  
    
      Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW) a leading operator of integrated 
      Internet exchanges and a global provider of managed IT infrastructure 
      solutions for government and private sectors, today announced that 
      Sandd, a leading provider of postal and logistic services, has signed a 
      multi-year contract with Dedigate, N.V., Terremark’s 
      managed hosting subsidiary, to host their systems in the Netherlands.
    
    
      After an extensive selection process, Sandd, one of the largest postal 
      companies in Holland, elected to entrust the hosting of their 
      mission-critical Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and back-office 
      systems to Dedigate because of the robust, innovative solutions and the 
      scalability offered by Dedigate’s platforms.
    
    
      “The Dutch postal market is characterized by 
      the efficient services and low postal rates. In order to deliver an 
      excellent price-quality ratio, we are focused on improvements in our 
      operational performance,” says Laurens Oppers, 
      ICT Manager of Sandd. “That is why we, in 
      consultation with Magnus, our consulting firm, decided to outsource the 
      management of our core IT systems to an external managed hosting 
      specialist like Dedigate.”
    
    
      According to André Damsteegt, Magnus’ 
      consultant, “Dedigate’s 
      experience in managing the infrastructure that supports the 
      mission-critical ERP systems was one of the reasons we recommended 
      Dedigate. Dedigate offers the swift and efficient service Sandd needs to 
      continue excelling in their core company processes.”
    
    
      Dedigate will provide Sandd with a robust, manageable and secure server 
      environment to ensure Sandd’s ERP and 
      back-office system availability. A secondary data center will facilitate 
      a testing environment and can act as backup for the primary production 
      environment in case of emergencies, such as the unusual “tropical 
      storms” suffered in northern Europe these 
      past weeks.
    
    
      “We are very pleased with Sandd’s 
      decision to select Dedigate as their hosting partner,” 
      said Joost Metten, Dedigate’s CEO. ”We 
      have designed a custom infrastructure to meet Sandd’s 
      needs and demands while offering the redundancy necessary for their most 
      critical systems, even in case of a major peak in traffic due to an 
      unusual natural disaster.”
