Telefónica O2 Services: a reliable provider of ICT solutions
7.2.2008
Telefónica O2 Services, which, as a subsidiary of Telefónica O2 Czech Republic, focuses on providing professional ICT services and system integration, has received another significant acknowledgement. Hewlett-Packard has awarded it Preferred GOLD Partner Specialist status, which guarantees the highest possible standard of the comprehensive supply of ICT products.
For Telefónica O2 Services, this is another in a string of successes that it has achieved recently. It is currently the holder of over sixty certificates covering the complete spectrum of ICT services, including its proposals, processes, implementation, and operation. Among the most important are, for instance, the prestigious "Microsoft Gold Partner" status, as well as certificates from IBM, Oracle, Cisco Systems, Oracle, 3Com, RedHat, and many other eminent providers from the field of telecommunications and information technology.
"System integrators work in a highly competitive environment, in which only the best survive. Together, reliability and a high degree of professionalism comprise the most effective tool that you can offer. Despite many referential installations, it is good to have confirmation of the fact that you are fulfilling these parameters well," says Zdeněk Kaplan, Executive Director for the Development of Business Services and Solutions, Telefónica O2 Czech Republic.
With the acquisition of Deltax Systems, Telefónica O2 is further expanding its portfolio of services. In the scope of the new concept of Managed Services provided in connection with ITIL principles, it is able to ensure comprehensive ICT solutions to key clients. The tripling of turnover from ICT projects in the last year also clearly indicates that Telefónica O2 is playing an increasingly significant role as a system integrator.
