FedEx's Vision is to be the most professional, ethical and customer friendly Express Transportation Company in the fields of Cargo, Express and Warehouses.

Q. How important are communications and connectivity services to FedEx's business operations?
A. Two different systems and twenty five different applications run simultaneously, serving FedEx's branches relying on the connectivity services. FedEx believes that moving a shipment from one place to another is only 50% of the job, the other 50% lies in making it available for customers to track down their shipments, if the system is down, 50% of the performance is unfulfilled, that's why the constant availability of the connectivity services is very critical.

Q. What do those applications require from a Service Provider?
A. Reliability is the most important factor. The link must be up and running 24/7.

Q. Based on what criteria do you choose as “FedEx” your Service Provider?
