As one of the world’s largest specialty consumer packaging groups, Huhtamaki is a company that understands it has to be competitive to stay a leader in selected high growth, high value added packaging categories. So when it needed to reduce its data communications costs by around 30 percent, it went to the market in a competitive bid for its overall telecommunications business.

Mr Charlie Struck, Computer Service Manager, of Huhtamaki said, "We were disappointed with the performance of our existing network and more significantly it was impacting on our business. We knew we needed to find a partner and a solution to our telecommunication needs that was both innovative and would deliver for us from day one."

With 10 offices employing over 1,200 people across Australia and New Zealand as well as Asian operations, the solution needed to deliver lower costs without compromising on quality of service. Huhtamaki had over four vendors providing various telecommunication and network solutions within a very complex operational management structure. Mr Struck said, "Panaseer took the time to understand our business and application needs, consolidated our vendor relationships and then delivered both in terms of savings and improved productivity."
