Verizon has announced an infrastructure deal with Tesco, designed to centralise services for the supermarket giant.

The agreement comes in support of a general application and services centralisation programme by the supermarket, which seeks to link suppliers, customers and employees of Tesco together on one system, across 12 countries around the globe.

The infrastructure programme is expected to drive increased delivery times, while improving overall efficiencies in order to provide cost savings.

Mike McNamara, Tesco’s CIO, said: “Verizon has the scope and expertise to help us deliver on our vision wherever we are around the globe. Whether in our stores, online, or on the move, we need our infrastructure to support our business goals.”
