H&S Group
IT as lifeline for Logistics and Supply Chain organisation
The crucial role of IT at HS Group
The transition to total service provider has made H&S Group one of Europe's leading transport companies. Infrastructure, automation and innovation play a very important role in this. H&S Group has intricate automation processes through which flows of goods are automatically controlled. "That is a complicated process," says Mike Kooijman, Manager ICT Infra at H&S Group. "From the moment the customer places an order to the moment the cargo reaches its destination, IT plays a continuous role. From processing and planning to delivery, we cannot do without IT." Four years ago, several locations still had hardware that was so outdated that the entire infrastructure needed to be upgraded. The desire was to migrate to a private cloud and H&S Group knocked on ForYourConnection's door for independent advice.
‘Thanks to Previder's solutions, we can keep full control over our transport.’
Why choose Previder?
Together, they were looking for a party that could do more than just offer rack space. Ton ten Hacken, Senior Advisor at ForYourConnection, played an important role in making the recommendation and says: "Four years ago, services at data centres were pretty much the same everywhere. You could get rack space and that was it. Previder went a step further because they can manage the entire chain. That was the deciding factor to do the lift & shift with Previder." What makes Previder unique is that it not only manages connections, but also provides other managed services. "We take a whole package of services. From connections to rack space and from storage to fallback access. Since last year, we also take off managed firewall. The question was often whether that was “necessarily necessary” until the Port of Rotterdam suffered a major cyber attack. That prompted us to secure the systems extra with managed firewall," responds Mike Kooijman.
