Luxury men's fashion brand Zegna has signed a three-year contract for communications infrastructure with Cable & Wireless.

The deal will see Cable & Wireless deliver a fully managed network to link Zegna’s 547 monobrand stores in 93 countries.

The system will provide a centralised real-time view of stock and accounts data, providing essential enhanced management of Zegna’s inventory across the world. This will include details of its latest offers and the introduction of exclusive new clothing lines.

The deal will help cut costs for Zegna by reducing the need to invest in local IT systems and technical personnel as it expands its stores internationally.

Cable & Wireless director of Europe Noreen O’Hare said: “For Zegna, we’re providing a completely managed approach to its communication requirements that will enhance its IT capabilities, while also accelerating business performance and creating cost efficiencies.”
