Fila (the 5th largest world-wide Sportswear Manufacturer) chooses Scancom.co.uk for BlackBerry deployment…

Fila and scancom.co.uk have been working closely over recent months to deploy a solution that’s both easy to manage and extensible. Fila required secure Email and additional applications bespoke to their business.

In addition to their great relationship with RIM and also being an Orange Business Specialist Partner, Scancoms internal IT systems were most impressive. We now know how Scancom has become the one-stop shop for BlackBerry in the UK. BlackBerry deployment at Fila helps facilitate a smooth communication flowwith the security levels we demand. We are looking forward to a long relationship with Scancom.”
