IMPLEMENTATION

The technical maintenance of VimpelCom – one of the largest computing complexes in Europe – has been outsourced to Jet Infosystems

 
The infrastructure being serviced enables the operation of VimpelCom’s business-critical systems: billing, payment acceptance, provision of media content to subscribers, management of marketing campaigns, etc. Therefore, increased requirements are imposed in terms of accessibility and the speed of troubleshooting.


Responsibility for the infrastructure, system and application software, and DBMS is divided between 3 support lines (about 30 specialists). Specialized training quickly helps new employees catch on to the process, while enabling continuous improvement in the qualifications of experienced engineers.

CUSTOMER REVIEW

With the pace of business development that our company has demonstrated over the past 5 years,   outsourcing was the only possible solution for managing our rapidly growing IT infrastructure. Given this, we did not prioritize ‘head-on’ cost cutting. Our key priorities were transparency, manageability and guaranteed IT service quality for the business. And all this was under conditions where IT landscape and business objectives are rapidly changing.
