Significant IT investment
June 1st 2011

As part of its Ł500,000 investment in the new hub facility, UPN has invested in new technology infrastructure in a bid to keep it ahead of the pack and allow it to maintain existing growth levels.

In the latest announcement, the company has developed and released a range of new applications for the network, rolled out a new electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) solution and installed four new missioncritical web servers, to add further resilience and security to the IT systems that underpin its network.

Gary Flockhart, IT manager at UPN says: "Since we launched our first real-time signature capture system four years ago, there have been many advances in software, hardware and mobile networks. Our task is to ensure that we evolve quickly and can take advantage of new opportunities."
