Vodafone Global Enterprise is a multinational company which provides telecommunications and information technology services to large corporations, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Vodafone Group.[3] It is headquartered in London, England, and was established in April 2007.[4]

History

Vodafone Global Enterprise was established in April 2007 by Vodafone, to serve as a provider of IT and telecoms services to large corporate customers.[5]

In October 2010 Vodafone Global Enterprise acquired two telecom expense management companies, paying US$6.9 million for Australia-based Quickcomm and $2.8 million for United States–based TnT Expense Management.[6]

On 1 December 2011, Vodafone Global Enterprise acquired the Reading-based ICT consultancy company Bluefish Communications Ltd.[7] The acquired operations will form the nucleus of a new Unified Communications and Collaboration practice within VGE,[8] which will focus on implementing strategies and solutions[buzzword] in cloud computing, and strengthen its professional services offering.[9]

On 23 April 2012, Vodafone announced an agreement to acquire Cable & Wireless Worldwide for £1.04 billion.[10][11] The deal was completed on 30 July 2012.[1] The acquisition will give Vodafone Global Enterprise access to CWW's fibre network for businesses,[12] enabling it to take unified communications solutions[buzzword] to large enterprises in UK and globally; and expand its enterprise integration service offerings in emerging markets.[13][14]

In June 2012 Vodafone Global Enterprise was granted supplier status to the US Federal Government under GSA Schedule 70, becoming the first non-US mobile provider to achieve such status.[15] As part of the award Vodafone Global Enterprise will be listed as an approved supplier to provide mobile voice, data and M2M services to the US Government in eight European countries including the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy.[15]

In July 2012 Vodafone Global Enterprise announced that it was conducting trials of dual persona mobile client, an emerging technology capable of enabling business customers to wholly compartmentalise their personal and business applications on a single device, and had plans to launch the service later in 2012.[16][17]
