All technical decisions at SPORTLER support the omni-channel strategy of the specialist sport trade, where for customer interaction, digital, analogue as well as physical channels are used and optimized. “Up until now, we considered physical shops and online platform as two separate worlds. Now, there are no more barriers between the online and the physical shopping experience in the shops and the customer is able to move around freely between these two worlds. As the IT department we are strongly involved in this change process on an infrastructure, but also on a software level. We must not only create the technical possibilities, but partly also the culture of digital innovation that enables this cultural change,” describes Giordano Betti, ITDirector with SPORTLER. The network solutionCiscoMeraki that is managed by the Cloud reduces the time requirement for support and administration at SPORTLER and the service is improved due to a single IT administration platform – and this in all branches. The transition of the telephone system to the cloud-based collaboration solution Webex Calling andWebexMeetings not only increases the flexibility, but it also reduces costs. Additionally, SPORTLER relies on a high-performing and sustainable Cisco Enterprise LAN andWi-Fi network between its approximately40SPORTLER branches and subsidiaries. “Whoever is looking for quality without compromise, decides for Cisco. We can really rest easy by having NTS as a Cisco partner,” assures Eduard Rizzi, IT Infrastructure SPORTLER. Already some years ago, the Bolzano-based business started to migrate the entire old infrastructure from other providers to Cisco. “Nowwe are experiencing the advantages. All employees, ever the less IT-savvy ones, are very happy with the achieved improvements,” confirms Betti. THE SPORTY LOVE NETWORK Quality, expert advice and individuality.

The digitalization allows citizens, companies, professional organizations, experts as well as the public administration access to balance sheets, statements and the like and it enables the processing of legally required administration tasks.

DIGITAL KNOW-HOW IN THE SERVICE OF BUSINESSES In 2017, InfoCamere was looking for a competent, trustworthy IT partner and entrusted itself to NTS upon a Cisco recommendation. NTS developed a modern Cisco-ACI solution for InfoCamere with built switching systems for the data center in order to connect all servers and to ensure that all services are simple, secure, and intuitively accessible.
