Pelikan International, a manufacturer of stationery and high-end writing instruments, has accelerated the delivery of new stationary products to market by improving the real-time collaboration between its German and Swiss sales and Research & Development (R&D) sites. By placing its ICT infrastructure and hosting services in Interoute’s pan-European private cloud, employees can now share access to essential applications and critical information in real-time – speeding its reaction to market changes and evolving business needs.
