Deutsche Post World Net Annual Report 2008
e Division views the currently adverse economic climate
as an opportunity to make use of companies’ greater readiness to outsource. We help
companies streamline their logistics processes and cut costs. As leading providers in
contract logistics, we have the experience and strong competitive edge needed to further
expand our business. e corporate information solutions segment also presents growth
opportunities in the form of rising demand for global and integrated solutions. We are
making ourselves less reliant on the banking, nancial services and legal sectors and
are developing services for other industries.
Leveraging synergies to boost profi tability
Combining cross-divisional services across the Group worldwide means in-house
service units can work closely together with business units and tap into available
synergies. Major savings can be gained by aggregating procurement volumes. We are
consolidating our infrastructure, closing the data centre in Scottsdale, Arizona, and
transferring its operating functions to the Prague and Cyberjaya data centres. We are
also creating global functions focusing on customer relationships and project imple-
mentation. e potential annual savings in run into the triple-digit millions.
