apt Hiller Group lifts its ICT landscape to QSC's Pure Enterprise Cloud

Cologne, 2 August 2016 - apt Hiller GmbH, a Monheim-based metal processing
company, will be relying with immediate effect on ICT services from the
Pure Enterprise Cloud offered by QSC AG. The aim is to gradually and
permanently standardise and centrally manage the Group's previously highly
heterogeneous ICT landscape across all of its locations. To this end, all
of the Group's 400 workplaces at its national and international locations
will be equipped with "Enterprise Workplace Services", a full-range
workplace environment including all desired desktop and collaboration
applications, as well as help desk functions. Further add-ons, such as
Business Intelligence or ERP services from the Pure Enterprise Cloud, are
possible at any time and are also planned. The service package will be
rounded off by an MPLS-based corporate network based on QSC's proprietary
network infrastructure.

Rapid implementation and full-range cloud portfolio

The first employees of the apt Hiller Group will be equipped with standard,
full-range workplace environments from the Pure Enterprise Cloud from
October already.

Key factors motivating the decision in favour of QSC and its Pure
Enterprise Cloud services are the one-stop service portfolio, ranging from
Enterprise Workplaces via app operations through to proprietary
infrastructure services, and their modular structure and scalability.

"In QSC, we have found a service provider that we as a medium-sized company
can communicate with both uncomplicatedly and on an equal footing. Not only
that, apt Hiller has grown rapidly in the past and will be expanding
further in future. We need a solution that will grow with us, and that
without any problems. For this, the Pure Enterprise Cloud, which will
substantially boost our speed and flexibility, is the ideal platform",
comments Klaus Mazurek, CIO at apt Hiller.

The core business of apt Hiller GmbH, which was founded in 1972, involves
manufacturing sophisticated aluminium profiles, further processing these
and performing finishing and assembly services. The company has shown
consistently strong growth and plans to achieve above-average growth in
future as well.

"With apt Hiller, we have gained a particularly successful medium-sized
company as our customer. This shows that - with its Pure Enterprise Cloud -
QSC understands the needs of SME players in particular and is seen as a
genuine partner when it comes to digitisation", comments Udo Faulhaber,
Chief Sales and Consulting Officer at QSC AG.
