Case Study Campina

Dairy producer improves mobile communications for senior managers and controls costs with Hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Solution

Campina is a brand of FrieslandCampina, a Netherlands-based European dairy cooperative, marketing milk and dairy products to consumers and supplying dairy-based products to the food and pharmaceutical industries. Campina completed a merger with Friesland, another big Dutch dairy cooperative, on December the 31st 2008 to form FrieslandCampina, one of the largest dairy processors in the world.

Campina outsourced the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution, installation and management to GPXS Services, a member of the BlackBerry® Alliance Program that provides deployment, management and training services for BlackBerry solutions. “It was new for us, and they helped us understand the business case for it and implement it. I’m very pleased with GPXS — they’re a good organisation.”
