In a vote to multi-year global outsourced services, agribusiness giant Syngenta, one of the world’s leading agribusiness companies, has renewed its global networked IT services contract with BT Global Services for another seven years and expanded to include additional services.
 
Under the terms of the agreement, BT will provide new services to Syngenta such as wide area network (WAN) optimization, wireless local area network expansion, unified communications support and application performance monitoring. BT has worked with Syngenta since 2000, managing all aspects of communications including an integrated IP infrastructure to reduce costs and enable expanded collaboration services. 
 
BT facilitates better communication and collaboration among Syngenta employees, partners and customers through secure access for third-parties, remote access for employees, international IP voice services, audio and video conferencing and managed mobility.  The converged communication services covers all of Syngenta’s 28,000 employees in more than 90 countries. 
 
Martin Walker, Head of Syngenta Business Services, said: “The continued use of new technology is helping us increase productivity by making our employees more connected.”
 
Luis Alvarez, Chief Executive Officer, BT Global Services, said: “Syngenta has ambitious growth plans in key regions that are aligned to BT’s areas of investment such as Latin America, Asia, Middle-East and Africa. We work hard to help our customers orchestrate their networked IT services across multiple platforms and very diverse geographies. Together we creatively use technology, helping deliver stunning business outcomes.”
