BT announced today it has signed a five-year network and security services outsourcing contract with Sasol, South Africa's integrated energy and chemical company, worth over GBP 40 million.
Under the terms of the agreement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], BT will manage Sasol's local area ( LAN ) and wide area networks ( WAN ) and provide internet connectivity. Managed security services, active directory, identity and access management ( IAM ) as well as systems centre management are also part of the deal.
This contract is part of Sasol's move to a multi-sourcing model with best in class providers for each service. BT South Africa has been awarded the global connectivity part of the overall ICT outsourcing project.
The deal includes comprehensive management of WAN and LAN, based on BT's Multi Protocol Label Switching ( MPLS ) network. This global internet protocol ( IP ) network, available in over 170 countries around the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], underpins mission critical applications for leading global enterprises from a variety of industry sectors.
Initially, locations connected to the BT network will include Sasol's key business hubs in Africa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Middle East,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], North America and Asia-Pacific. These will then be expanded to include all Sasol sites around the world.
One of the key requirements for Sasol was global availability of services, supporting the company's rapid growth in its existing markets as well as expansion into new markets. BT's remote access solution will enable Sasol's mobile workforce to access the company network and applications securely anywhere in the world.
BT is working with Dimension Data, a leading specialist IT services and solution provider, for the delivery of certain services.
BT's solid track record as a global outsourcing partner for multinational companies was one of the main reasons it has been awarded this contract as Sasol looks to cut costs and standardise technology platforms within its operations. BT's impeccable Black Economic Empowerment ( BEE ) credentials and commitment to the South African market also played an important role.
Olivier Campenon, BT president E*MEA , said: "We are delighted to have been chosen by Sasol to be at the heart of their ambitious growth and expansion strategy. Our strong and long-lasting commitment to this continent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], focus on customer service and wealth of know-how of our staff on the ground are a winning combination as BT becomes a networked IT services partner of choice for South African multinationals."
