Waitrose embrace mobile working
Waitrose’s head office ensures the smooth operation of its business and more than 300 UK stores. To ensure Partners based there are equipped to do their jobs as effectively as possible, Waitrose needs to provide the latest technologies. With its existing Windows XP platform nearing end of support, the retailer decided to migrate to Windows 7, but it needed a partner to assist with such a large-scale project.

To safeguard partner satisfaction and productivity, we need an IT environment that is fit for today’s workstyles.
