Greater China’s largest IP private network service provider helps the region’s e-Logistics enabler enhance multimodal flow of cargo
(Hong Kong, May 23, 2002) Diyixian.com Ltd, Greater China’s largest IP private network service provider, announced that e-commerce Logistics Limited (ecL), a leading provider of technology-enabled logistics and fulfillment solutions in the region, has chosen Diyixian’s MPLS-based IP private network and Managed Hosting solutions to ensure secure communications and greater operational efficiency among ecL’s state-of-the-art logistics centres located across the region.
ecL’s next generation IP private network network will provide the underlying infrastructure to support the company’s deployment and implementation of complete logistics solutions for businesses throughout the supply chain – from suppliers through to manufacturers, distributors and direct marketers. By leveraging Diyixian’s MPLS IP private network solutions, ecL will be able to achieve greater cost efficiencies and increased network security, performance and reliability.
ecL is known for its comprehensive range of logistics offerings. According to a recent study by IDC Asia Pacific, ecL claims a leadership position within the IDC Leadership Grid, which compares 14 service providers in Greater China on their relative abilities in setting industry standards and understanding the logistics requirements of their customers. Currently, ecL has two logistics facilities in Hong Kong, one in Taiwan, and one in Shanghai. With plans to open more distribution centres in other major cities, ecL will continue to firm up its position in the Greater China market.
Diyixian’s MPLS technology-based IP private network solution is one of the region’s most practical, future-proof ways of delivering a full chain of time-sensitive applications, such as multicasting, streaming video, IP fax, and other e-business offerings. It combines seamlessly with DYXNet Managed Hosting solution, a fully managed turnkey solution for the outsourcing of bandwidth-intensive applications. Both solutions will help ecL increase its efficiency, reliability and accuracy.
“Diyixian is honoured to provide ecL with the necessary infrastructure to help customers resolve back-end logistics problems and pare down the expenses incurred in obtaining day-to-day supplies and procurement,” said Man Lap, Diyixian’s CEO. “We believe that the services at Diyixian and ecL are vital to the logistics industry, which accounts for 20 per cent of Hong Kong’s gross domestic product and involves more than 10 of the city’s most important sectors, including information technology and marine/land/air transportation.”
“In addition to a highly dynamic and responsive sales force which provides the very best in technology, price and professionalism, Diyixian has the proven IP networking expertise, the right private network solutions, and the regionwide IP network reach and reliability necessary to meet our specifications,” said Betty Chan, Vice President, Information Technologies of ecL. “The fact that both companies have shared a similar path of expansion and growth in the Greater China market has provided us with a reliable strategic relationship that is crucial to our success and profitability.”
