Cable&Wireless Worldwide provides Next PLC with critical network
17 August 2010: Cable&Wireless Worldwide continues to lead high street communications with a five year contract to connect 32 distribution sites and offices in the UK, and Hong Kong for leading retailer, Next plc.
C&W Worldwide's single, secure and high-speed next-generation network will underpin all of Next's critical communications including taking orders and dispatching and receiving goods into warehouses. The advanced network will provide Next with significantly more capacity to work with much higher volumes of goods than it was previously able to process.
The increased capacity and flexibility will also enable more customers to place orders on Next's website; this will be particularly beneficial during peak trading periods. With UK shoppers spending £5.46 billion online last December alone, Next is well positioned to ensure its festive online shoppers enjoy the same high standards of service as they would instore.
