- Three year contract with the leading Australian telecommunications
company Telstra
- Total value of the order around EUR 13 million
Jena, June 30, 2009 - Intershop Communications AG, provider of integrated
e-commerce solutions, has received the largest service order in its history
from the Australian telecommunications company Telstra. The contract
encompasses services with a total value of around AUD 22.6 million over a
period of three years, which corresponds to around EUR 13 million. The
order volume breaks down as approximately EUR 4.5 million in the first
year, with EUR 4.3 million and EUR 4.2 million in the second and third
years respectively.
The contract, which starts on July 1, 2009, follows on from a previous
project for the Australian group. In June 2008 Intershop already developed
a C-to-C platform dedicated to auctions and classifieds for the Telstra
subsidiary Sensis (www.tradingpost.com.au) based on Intershop's Enfinity
Suite 6 standard software. The site was the leading shopping platform of
its kind in Australia in 2008.
The contract, which has now been finalized, covers a range of services for
Tradingpost and other Sensis Group portals, including testing as well as
operational and general support.
The three year contract is of substantial strategic importance for
Intershop. Telstra is one of the largest and most well known companies in
Australia. Stepping up the cooperation represents an important step towards
adding C-to-C business to the product portfolio and expanding the market
position in the Asia/Pacific region. In addition, by gaining a long-term
platinum account, Intershop is enhancing the reliability of planning for
the coming years.
