We Left The Job To Its Expert

PepsiCo IT Manager Önder Birol explained; PepsiCo the leader as a food-beverage firm on the World is carrying on business more than 215 country. PepsiCo, which has over 65 billion dollars of annual return, is producing nutrient, tasty foods and refreshments which gives pleasure to the consumers life with its exceeding 250 thousand of employees who meets up around the vision of ‘’Performance with Purpose’’.

Its continue to provide service with qualified, innovative products to the Turkish consumer, in snack market with PepsiCo’s food company Frito Lay in Turkey since 1993 and in the beverage market PepsiCo’s beverage company PepsiCo Beverages in Turkey since 2002.

PepsiCo is a global company in a fast alteration for 5 years which has operations in 215 countries in the world. Especially in IT field it accomplished many radical subjects after CIO change. With the structure of the organization and changing in systems, the IT sided perspective has completely changed. We can mention that the IT structure of previous periods has changed into extrovert form to introvert one. We have a type of structure of IT which works friendly to the business organism, understands the requirements and develops solutions accordingly. Rather than supplying hardware and software need, we came to a position closely monitoring the need and creating solutions rapidly together. We maintain our advancement with mainly global brands because when make assessments at technological way, we are a global company. We take our place in a global framework, particularly in network, computing, database and helpdesk part in the new era. We lack of investing chance on Turkey with current pattern. While we realize our investments locally in IT field 10 years ago, as of today we totally became global. We have 2 large datacenter present in Europe, London and Frankfurt. Our crucial infrastructure works here. Frankfurt particularly in the world, is a crossing point of all the telecom operators and hub of all fibers. This places selected specially for investment due to these facts.

While we don’t have many chance to invest, we try to come up with best solutions in IT field. Because; AMEA which brings solutions in global side, there could be problems at practicality in places where there is difference in local process such as Europe and Turkey. You have to invest locally to eliminate the hardships arise from implementing a vendor crossing happened in America in Turkey’s conditions. We as an IT department work associated with India. We have a global partnership with British Telecom (IT) in network side. While we get our support from England in 2009, after 2 years we started to get it from China and for the last 5 years we continue to get it from India-Burgamon. There are major changes happening at PepsiCo for the last 2 years. The objective is to relocate all IT servers to global firms and manage the business by one hand. Currently there is a consolidation work in application side. And there is a goal of handling service support to an Indian company in 2019.

NGN offers work continuity and speed to PepsiCo in Managed Services…

Because of a global agreement ongoing at PepsiCo’s working model we get support from a specific firm but this firm did not give technical support while it provides payrolling support. Our team consist of 24 people as PepsiCo Turkey. There was a major takeover happening in here. The working individuals have goals and everyone want to get some places in accordance with their goals. The trained personnel want to draw a route in accordance with their goals after a period of time. You spend time, effort for this person and can’t hold him/her in your hands. We started to fell need starting from this point. As PepsiCo Turkey we provide service to 6 thousand user, 3 thousand internal and 3 thousand at distributor side. Therefore we mention a serious workload. We decided to give this job in accordance with needs, to a firm which knows the job, an IT firm and when needed could provide technical support. Our aim was to build an organization that could find a personnel in place of the leaving personnel with same abilities. We realized an auction specific to our requests. We determine our requests, needs and the requirements of the work and transmit it to firms. We had an opportunity to contact with many firm after the auction. One of them was NGN. We consider many criteria while deciding to work with NGN. With our meeting with NGN, our decision effected by its position in Turkey, power in market, investments in Turkey, its experience based on years of work rather than price. Hiring, changes in business’ organization, replacement of personnel started take a lot of time and become an obstacle for us. Our main criteria was, an IT firm who is an expert at their job, support us and provide quality support easily. The winning firms of the auction become NGN within this context.
