Miele chooses Nokia Lumia
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ratingen, Germany and Espoo, Finland - Nokia has announced that Miele & Cie. KG,
a global leader in premium domestic appliances and commercial machinery for
laundry care, dishwashing and disinfection, is switching to Nokia Lumia as the
smartphone of choice for its global employees.
Built on Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 platform, Nokia Lumia smartphones enable
mobile access to Miele's business applications such as Microsoft Outlook and
SharePoint. Additionally, Nokia Lumia offers Miele employees the benefits of a
modern smartphone, including secure access at no additional cost to Microsoft
Office documents, information and contacts. Also available on Nokia Lumia are
free navigation apps, including HERE Maps and HERE Drive, which allow maps to be
downloaded via wireless LAN, reducing data traffic and network charges.
To increase the efficiency of its users and infrastructure, Miele has already
equipped all its work stations with Microsoft products. "The seamless connection
to our existing Microsoft infrastructure as well as the great navigation and
camera technology make Lumia an excellent addition to our existing IT systems,"
said Egbert Fichtler, Head of IT Infrastructure, Miele.
Miele piloted Nokia Lumia over several months with more than 100 of its people.
Mr Fichtler added: "Nokia Lumia exceeded our expectations both in terms of user
experience and the look and feel of the devices, and so we are happy to continue
rollout during the second half of 2013, with over 1,000 more devices for
employees in Germany. The free navigation with HERE Drive helps our service team
to plan routes to customers, while the great cameras in Nokia Lumia mean we can
document service cases immediately on site helping us to save time and money."
In Germany, Miele is deploying Nokia Lumia on the Deutsche Telekom network.
Concludes Mr Fichtler, "the excellent speech quality and high speed data on the
Deutsche Telekom network are very compelling. As a company, we pride ourselves
on designing and building great products and offering great service to our
customers, values which Nokia shares. Overall, Nokia Lumia smartphones built on
Windows Phone are increasing our efficiency as a company."
"Our new Nokia Lumia smartphones offer a robust yet elegant design as well as
excellent camera technology," said Sebastian Ulrich, general manager, Nokia
Germany. "In addition, our broad product portfolio means we have choices for
everyone within any company: from entry level smartphones such as the Lumia 520
and the Lumia 620 through mid-range devices such as the Lumia 720 and 820 all
the way to our flagship Lumia 920 and Lumia 925."
