Case Study: PESA Bydgoszcz achieves zero travel costs and rapid ROI with Unify OpenScape UC

UC Cuts Travel And Out-Of-Pocket Costs To Zero.

PESA Bydgoszcz, a leading Polish manufacturer of locomotives, trains and trams with over 3,000 employees, faced a major challenge after acquiring a 700‑employee plant in Mińsk Mazowiecki: roll out its ERP system and integrate the distant site without costly, weeks‑long on‑site training and frequent business travel. The company needed a fast, secure communications upgrade to link operations, support training and align processes across locations.

PESA deployed Unify solutions—OpenScape Office HX V3, OpenScape Web Collaboration and two HiPath 3800 V9 servers—over a fiber IP backbone, expanding rather than replacing legacy systems; the rollout took about three months with site integration completed in one. The result: ubiquitous VoIP, web collaboration and shared-document workflows that eliminated long training trips and many fax machines, cut operating and travel costs to near zero, sped decision‑making and production coordination, and paid back the investment within two years.
