In late 2006 trans-Tasman vehicle leasing company, FleetPartners, was sold by the ANZ Bank to a private equity group.

That left the company with no ICT infrastructure or hardware on which to run FleetPartners’ key vehicle fleet management application, Leasebase, along with Microsoft SQL Server and Office.

Part of ANZ Bank, Leasebase ran in the Bank’s Melbourne data centre. But, once the sale was completed,FleetPartners had just six months to fully replace the business’ ICT infrastructure, re-house its data and find a strategic trans-Tasman partner capable of delivering and managing its full suite of ICT requirements.

To add to the challenge, the company was also relocating its Sydney, Brisbane and Perth offices at the same time, and establishing a new office in Adelaide.

Gen-i delivered a true trans-Tasman solution, with the supply of its managed data, internet services and full outsourcing and management of its ICT environment - including data centre hosting, infrastructure and applications management - across New Zealand and Australia.

Gen-i has been FleetPartners’ ICT department for the last three years and has been instrumental in delivering a technology roadmap that will support the transformation of the way it runs its business and how it delivers its value proposition to customers.

FleetPartners is also able to leverage New Zealand’s cost base and deliver significant cost benefits to the business across the Tasman by taking advantage of Gen-i’s well-established New Zealand-based service delivery infrastructure.

Gen-i is available to FleetPartners 24x7 in New Zealand and Australia. It invests and maintains its ICT skill set and expertise so that FleetPartners don’t have to – and don’t have all of the complications of maintaining an experienced IT team.
 
Gen-i has established itself as a solid outsourcing partner, and also as a trusted ICT adviser to FleetPartners.
