Luxottica Group, a global leader in premium fashion, luxury and sports eyewear with a strong brand portfolio including Ray-Ban and Oakley, with over 6300 optical and sun retail stores across the world, today announced that it has selected Vodafone to manage its mobile voice and data services in 24 countries.
Under the two and half year agreement, Vodafone Global Enterprise, the business within Vodafone which manages the communications needs of its largest multinational customers, will supply Luxottica’s global wholesale and retail workforce with over 5,000 mobile connections, devices and a range of managed mobile services.
The agreement will make it simpler for Luxottica to manage its global mobile communications more cost effectively.
“This is an important agreement with one of the world’s biggest telecommunications companies”, commented Andrea Guerra, Chief Executive Officer of Luxottica Group. “We required simplicity and functionality and Vodafone has focused on this need to deliver worry-free business communications services. We believe that Vodafone is the right partner to help us succeed in an increasingly connected world”.
“Multinationals like Luxottica are increasingly looking for ways to streamline and simplify the management of their mobile services while driving greater cost efficiencies,” said Vittorio Colao, Chief Executive, Vodafone Group. “Our fully managed services enable customers to identify cost savings and drive operational efficiency at the same time as providing employees with first class telecommunications. This in turn will enable Luxottica to compete at the highest level and keep a sharper focus on the world of fashion eyewear.”
