Interoute has continually delivered connectivity, security and services as well as hosting for the Ford France dealerships\u2019 internal applications. However, as Ford\u2019s consumer marketing campaigns now bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Ford France\u2019s websites, the contract scope has been extended to include hosting the company\u2019s consumer facing applications. These represent around two thirds of the fifty applications hosted on Interoute\u2019s virtual servers, each with differing security requirements.<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Jan Oliver Koch, IT Manager at Ford France, commented, \u201cWe operate on a standard architecture, with three environments: development, pre-production which enables our developers to perform tests, and production which is provided by Interoute. With the acceleration of marketing campaigns on social networks, such as Facebook, we require a higher degree of integration. As always, we presented this issue to Interoute who suggested migrating to a new generation firewall which is more suited to our needs. Each time we face a hurdle, Interoute has the best solution, tailored to our needs and our size.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pardot.com\/pd.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"page\" class=\"page clearfix\">\n<section id=\"section-content\" class=\"section section-content\">\n<div id=\"zone-content-wrapper\" class=\"zone-wrapper zone-content-wrapper clearfix\">\n<div id=\"zone-content\" class=\"zone zone-content clearfix container-12\">\n<div id=\"region-content\" class=\"grid-7 region region-content\">\n<div class=\"region-inner region-content-inner\">\n<div id=\"block-system-main\" class=\"block block-system block-main block-system-main odd block-without-title\">\n<div class=\"block-inner clearfix\">\n<div class=\"content clearfix\">\n<div id=\"node-press-release-2113\" class=\"ds-1col node node-press-release node-promoted view-mode-full node-not-sticky author-shirin-macdonald odd clearfix clearfix\">\n<div class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Matthew Finnie, Interoute CTO, said, &#8220;We are pleased and proud that Ford has renewed its trust in our long term partnership.

Ford France continues to purchase services based on Interoute\u2019s broad security certified standards, in particular ISO27000 and because of Interoute\u2019s readiness to listen, its proven expertise and flexibility, customer service oriented attitude and high quality advice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>About Ford France<\/strong><br \/>\nThe\u00a0Ford Motor Company\u00a0is one of the largest global\u00a0automakers headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, United States.
