Astellas Pharma Inc. outsources its IT service delivery to Rex Technologies as part of a global contract. The company looks after Astellas’s IT hardware and systems in Australia and helps setup equipment and system access for new employees.
Astellas is a pharmaceutical company with its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. Astellas Pharma Australia is based in Macquarie Park NSW. As of March 2023, the company employs over 14,000 employees worldwide, 70 employees in Australia and generated total revenue of 1.5 billion yen or 15 million Australian dollars. Its main business is manufacturing, marketing, and import and export of pharmaceuticals.
Astellas Pharma Australia found their previous service provider to be inflexible when it came to changing the days and times for urgent, on-site support for unplanned IT issues.
Rex Technologies has an SLA with Astellas Pharma Australia that includes local andon-site support in case of unforeseen incidents. On-site support is flexible and fast, and 80% of IT issues get resolved within 2 hours (a key SLA metric).
As part of IT managed services, Rex Technologies also helps new employees get set up with the right devices and systems access so they can start working immediately and not feel stressed about accessing the information they need to do their jobs. It helps new hires get settled in quickly and be more productive.
Outsourcing IT services to Rex Technologies allowedAstellas’ IT manager to focus on business growth and continuous systems improvement instead of daily IT equipment setup and systems issues.
New employees are also able to start working from the first day and service desk requests are resolved within 2 hours or less.
Rex Technologies delivers on all three factors that are important to me – reliability, knowledge and flexibility andit helps me plan my work days. They are knowledgeable, confident and good at building trust when talking to the end user which means I can rely on them.
If we have an issue, Ali and his team make sure it’s resolved quickly so the employee can get back to work. I like the fact that Rex Technologiesprovides a local and on-site support so I can build rapport with them as a service provider.
I’ve also been able toadd more value to the company by focusing on growth and systems improvement, instead of trying to manage the day-to-day IT needs of the company.
