Challenges


Henkel Polska – along with other Henkel CEE branches – expected a turnkey solution for leasing of corporation-unified desktop PCs, notebooks, and monitors for the company, supported by 3-year service agreement for an entire leasing period. In addition to that, standard office software had to be installed on all computers supplied to Henkel as an extra paid assignment.

Project


As a result of negotiations between both parties, a corporate contract has been signed between Henkel CEE and S&T Austria GmBH, that concerned cooperation in countries where the companies are present, which also included services for Henkel CEE headquarters in Vienna.
In a year S&T delivered more than 350 desktops, notebooks, and LCD monitors for Henkel Polska staff.

Henkel Polska, according to its corporate policy, has obtained the equipment with effective service for its employees from a single source in CEE region. The contract was based on a convenient leasing arrangement. The deal signed in Poland contributed to extension of cooperation in CEE region to new locations (Stąporków, Dzierżoniów, Stobno, Ciechanów, Bielsko-Biała, Raciborz production plants and Henkel Polska headquarters in Warsaw and offices in Poznań, altogether to more than 700 users).
