World Wide Technology, Inc. (WWT), a market-leading systems integrator that provides innovative technology and supply chain solutions, today announced the renewal of their contract to provide Cisco Systems® products and services to Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E). Last year, PG&E entrusted WWT to help build-out a secure wireless infrastructure for the large utility provider as they consolidated many of their 71 field offices into Resource Management Centers (RMCs), greatly improving the company’s operating process efficiencies.
“We are pleased to provide PG&E with the wireless tools, technology and support they need to speed delivery of services for new business customers,” said Joe Koenig, president for World Wide Technology. “Moreover, our contract with PG&E as its Cisco value-added reseller has enhanced WWT’s utility expertise in the commercial market and is the cornerstone for WWT’s expanding growth in the Bay area.”
PG&E is now leveraging wireless technology at their new RMCs and is in the planning stages of implementing it throughout the rest of the corporate infrastructure to provide increased flexibility and productivity for employees. The company also relied on WWT to implement a major IP telephony solution. World Wide worked closely with PG&E to scope, design and configure Cisco equipment to address the needs of four planned RMCs.
WWT has been being doing business with PG&E since 2004. PG&E’s supplier diversity program is committed to providing women, minority and service disabled veteran owned business enterprises (WMDVBE or diverse enterprises) with economic opportunities to supply products and services required by PG&E.
