The SUPPLY CHAIN/CIS Division views the currently adverse economic climate as an opportunity to make use of companies’ greater readiness to outsource. We help companies streamline their logistics processes and cut costs. As leading providers in contract logistics, we have the experience and strong competitive edge needed to further expand our business. The corporate information solutions segment also presents growth opportunities in the form of rising demand for global and integrated solutions. We are making ourselves less reliant on the banking, financial services and legal sectors and are developing services for other industries.

Leveraging synergies to boost profitability

Combining cross-divisional services across the Group worldwide means in-house service units can work closely together with business units and tap into available synergies. Major savings can be gained by aggregating procurement volumes. We are consolidating our IT infrastructure, closing the data centre in Scottsdale, Arizona, and transferring its operating functions to the Prague and Cyberjaya data centres. We are also creating global IT functions focusing on customer relationships and project implementation. The potential annual savings in IT run into the triple-digit millions.
