Diasorin migrates to Orange Business Services' Business VPN solution

Diasorin S.p.A., an international player in the market of in vitro diagnostics based in Saluggia (Vercelli, Italy), has migrated to Business VPN, a fully-managed, secure, global IP infrastructure from Orange Business Services connecting 12 locations in Europe, the Americas and Asia.

“In collaboration with our system integrator NetValue we have chosen Orange Business Services after a meticulous selection involving all the global service providers”

Diasorin, listed on the Italian Stock Exchange since July 2007, develops, produces and markets reagent kits for clinical laboratory diagnostics, offering a broad array of high quality products that includes comprehensive lines for each of the clinical segments in which it operates, from infectious and viral diseases to oncology and fertility testing.

The Diasorin Group, comprising 20 companies based in Europe, the United States, Central and South America and Asia, has more than 1,100 employees, including about 110 research and development specialists, and operates four manufacturing and research facilities in Saluggia (Vercelli, Italy), Dietzenbach (Germany), Stillwater, Minnesota (USA) and Dublin (Ireland). Thanks to its direct sales organization and an international network of more than 80 independent distributors, the Group is present in more than 60 countries. Consequently, inter-company communication and collaboration are becoming more and more critical for Diasorin. The Group requires a robust, global network to support its operations including its subsidiaries and partners. Business VPN, based on the industry-leading MPLS IP VPN service from Orange Business Services, has solution capabilities that can be completely adapted based on the type or location of customer sites. Business VPN provides access to convergence solutions at Diasorin's sites and enables secure access to the Enterprise Resource Planning application from SAP.

"In collaboration with our system integrator NetValue we have chosen Orange Business Services after a meticulous selection involving all the global service providers," said Ferdinando Peretto, CIO, Diasorin Group. "I needed a reliable partner for cost-effective IP services (voice and data) that would assure high quality performance to help the implementation of a new ICT model for ERP applications. Orange Business Services has been very effective in the MPLS migration of the international sites that ended perfectly in time on the schedule. We are now planning a Telephony over IP project that will allow for full IP convergence."

"The flexibility inherent in the Orange network is critical for customers like Diasorin that must stay a step ahead of their competition," said Bernardo Centrone, country manager, Orange Business Services Italy. "We look forward to providing a robust and reliable network that will support Diasorin as it broadens its portfolio and grows in its key markets in the future."
