Gentera Logo
Mexico City, December 5, 2013.- Gentera, the leading Mexican microfinance group, with over 2.8 million clients and more than 18,000 employees in Latin America, has chosen Cisco Enterprise Networks and Collaboration Solutions to be deployed in its new corporate offices in Mexico City, its Customer Care Contact Center, and its subsidiaries network.
Gentera selected Cisco Routing, Switches, Access Points, IP Telephony, Customer Collaboration (Contact Center) and social monitoring solutions (Cisco SocialMiner ), as well as WLS and Network Administration, to be used by over 3,000 employees in more than 500 branches in M xico and through its various subsidiaries in Latin America. These include Compartamos Banco (Mexico), the microinsurance broker Aterna, the nonbanking correspondents network manager Yast s, Compartamos Financiera (Peru), and Compartamos S.A. (Guatemala).
This Next Generation Architecture will enable Gentera to offer first-class services to customers and employees, through a unique platform that consolidates data, voice and video using advanced security standards and regulations.
The full deployment of this infrastructure is the cornerstone for next-generation financial services and will help Gentera to consolidate its leadership in providing financial inclusion throughout the region for the base of the pyramid in Latin America by generating social, economic and human value for people.
Gentera is a group of companies oriented to eradicate financial exclusion in Latin America by offering savings, credits and insurance products. Their new corporate offices are located at Insurgentes Sur 1458 Colonia Actipan in Mexico City. Gentera, through its companies, has presence in all Mexican states and some Central and South American countries. They also have a contact center in Mexico City, with over 300 agents, that provides 24/7 customer service.
Federico Hernandez, vice-president of IT and operations of Gentera, said: We decided to deploy Cisco technology because Cisco and its partners understood from the very beginning our business processes and were able to meet the requirements that we have when offering financial services to support both our internal and our external customers, thus becoming a consultant technology partner more than only a supplier .
Rogelio Velasco, vice president of Cisco M xico, said: We are delighted to be infrastructure partners with Gentera, offering our world-class solutions that will help them to face actual and new business challenges. The network implemented has been deployed to support new trends such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and other business operations processes, like the collaboration infrastructure for their new corporate building and the new Customer Service Contact Center infrastructure.
