Setting up of Messaging backbone and Global directory
Client Case Study
Syntegra's Mail*Hub and IntraStore messaging servers helped to consolidate disparate messaging systems and a centralised global directory service. The problems of communicating to employees around the globe were addressed in this solution.
Requirement
The company is one of the world's largest consumer products companies. With over 100,000 employees, products are sold in 150 countries through 300 subsidiaries. Every day, the company handles about one million electronic messages. The Indian subsidiary of this company sought to provide all its business units in India and also across the Central And Middle East (CAME region) with simple, reliable access to distributed information from various countries, at home or on the road.
Solution
This project is executed in association with our joint venture partner Syntegra. The approach is to utilise Syntegra's Mail*Hub product to connect and consolidate all disparate messaging systems. We then implemented a network of IntraStore message servers across CAME region. The combination of these activities enabled FMCG company to reduce the number of its message servers from hundreds of messaging servers to 35 alone in India. This dramatically improved service quality and the speed of e-mail whilst reducing operational support cost. The company now has a reliable and accessible information source for all its personnel, organisations and entities. The Global Directory Product of Syntegra has enabled this. The global Directory overcomes previous complications in service support operations by providing a centralised global user administration. The solution enables service desk staff to register, enable, administer, authorise and change user profiles and attributes across a wide range of technologies. The directory solution lets one administrator profile the user in one place, which improves customer service and reduces the time and resources spent on routine tasks.
We also provided the centrally located helpdesk services after the implementation of the IntraStore servers supporting users across CAME region.
Results
1. Reduction in messaging servers and hence IT spending
2. Global directory allowed the company to share a common user profile across the world
3. Centralised administration, monitor usage, recover usage costs, publish an electronic
    white pages and ensure e-mail security.
