DNA provides Stockmann with next-generation telecommunications and data security services

Constantly evolving data security requirements and cloudification present companies with the challenge of ensuring the continuity and reliability of their business in a dynamic operating environment. With a comprehensive telecommunications and data security solution, companies can react to changes quickly. The cooperation agreement between DNA and Stockmann includes the provision of a secure and comprehensive solution that enables all department store network functions, from payment terminals to guest WLAN.

DNA was chosen as the supplier for Stockmann’s extensive infrastructure overhaul thanks to its impressive professional services, internationally recognised expertise in software-based networks and history of providing strong retail solutions. Modern telecommunications and data security solutions allow Stockmann to further bolster the security, visibility and steerability of its business. The agreement covers Lindex Group Plc’s Stockmann department stores and webstore in Finland and the Baltic countries.

“We operate in an international environment where modern, reliable, always-available solutions are a prerequisite for successful business operations. With the help of DNA, we are overhauling our data security infrastructure and further improving our data security. We chose DNA because of its ability to offer us a future-proof, secure network as a service solution with wide geographical coverage. Excellent support services are also very important to us”, says Stockmann’s CITO Janne Holli. 

“It’s great to work with a company that represents an excellent customer experience and high quality as well as Stockmann does. The customer experience is also central to how we do things at DNA, which is why we always tailor our solutions to the customer’s business needs. In us, Stockmann has a partner that pioneers next-generation access solutions, delivers modern telecommunications and data security services internationally and takes full responsibility for those services while developing its operations constantly in close collaboration with its customers”, says DNA’s Senior Vice President, Corporate Business Anna-Mari Ylihurula.
