Regional Support
Through its dedication to innovation and continual customer contact,
Williamson-Dickie has transformed itself from a small bib overall company to
the largest workwear manufacturer today. Sold throughout the world Dickies
now offers a broad spectrum of garments ranging from work pants and work
shirts to denim jeans and women's workwear. Since its beginnings in 1922,
every piece of Dickies workwear has stood for the quality, toughness, and
pride.
Imaginet were approached by Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Co. prior to the
opening of their Regional Headquarters in Metro Manila, Philippines. This
hub was to serve the Asian region procurement division and would eventually
have a staff of 50. However, as nearly all of the Williamson-Dickie staff
are “field based” to maintain costs at a low level no permanent MIS staff
would be based at this new office.
To take the place of the in-house MIS resources, Williamson-Dickie’s Head
Office in America teamed up with Imaginet to create a Managed Network
Services support agreement to provide the outsourced I.T. support for the
Asian hub.
At the initial stages only a small number of staff were based in Manila.
Therefore the I.T. structure installed was designed to be able to grow
“organically” as the number of staff and their requirements increased.
Interfacing with Williamson-Dickie’s U.S. based MIS team, Imaginet ensured
that their Asian based staff receive 24/7 support whilst on business trips
or at the Manila office. Using planned and automated preventive maintenance,
Imaginet reduces the likelihood of a system or service failure, and reduce
time to recover in the event of an unplanned outage without impacting
Williamson-Dickie's I.T. resources.
This “out of office time” support is especially critical as the field staff
travel to many different countries in the region encountering a large number
of differing telecom and Internet systems and standards, business center
configuration problems etc. across multiple time zones.
“Imaginet's Managed Network Services allowed us to concentrate on starting
Regional operations
with the peace of mind that our IT systems would be rolled out and supported
to Company standards,
whenever required with no drain on our resources.”
-- David Parkinson, General Manager - Eastern Region Sourcing
