HPE GreenLake cloud platform enables Australian and New Zealand
retailer to launch new flexible payment offerings to market
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that
Woolworths Group has selected the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud
platform to power its new Wpay payments platform. The solution is
based on HPE GreenLake, which provides an easy to manage cloud
platform that allows customers to innovate with agility, scale up
and down to meet business requirements, and gain improved
visibility and management of costs.
Woolworths Group is Australia and New Zealand’s largest food and
everyday needs retailer, with more than 1,300 stores across both
countries and fast-growing eCommerce businesses.
As a long standing HPE customer, Woolworths Group was already
benefiting from HPE’s Infrastructure and Managed Services, which
has been supporting the group’s supermarkets and BIG W discount
department stores and its customers since 2007. The existing
platform processes nearly 30 million transactions for Woolworths
Group a week.
To power further growth for Wpay as it enters new markets, the
business required an end-to-end solution that combines a powerful
architecture with the ability to scale, and also provides better
cost efficiency back to Wpay and its merchant partners.
Woolworths Group turned to HPE to support the company’s move
from its current data center environment and deliver a unique
end-to-end solution to support the new payments platform, which
provides rich transaction processing, settlement services, the
latest in-store terminals along with extensive reporting and
analytics. HPE GreenLake provides a mission critical, easy to
manage as-a-service solution, enabling greater capacity and
ensuring business continuity for its new and existing payments
operations. The solution leverages HPE’s full edge-to-cloud
portfolio, including HPE Aruba, HPE NonStop, HPE Primera and HPE
Synergy. HPE Pointnext Services also play an important role in
providing expertise to accelerate the digital transformation
initiatives at Woolworths.
“As Australia and New Zealand’s largest retailer, we’ve been
investing in leading-edge payment capabilities to service our
retail businesses for many years,” said Angelo Clayton, General
Manager IT – Stores & Payments at Woolworths. “We’re pleased to
now extend the benefits of our investments to other merchants who
may not have the scale to build a payments platform themselves.
With HPE, we know we have a reliable and trusted partner to support
the growth of our payments platform into the next phase.”
The HPE GreenLake cloud platform integrates with thirteen ISV
and system applications, including global technology leaders
Thales, Fortinet and Citrix, as well as data center hosting
services from Equinix.
“We’re delighted to continue our existing partnership with
Woolworths to provide industry-leading technology and services with
HPE GreenLake, which enable the company to enter entirely new
markets,” said Stephen Bovis, Vice President and Managing
Director of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Australia and New
Zealand. “Woolworths is a terrific example of the end-to-end
solutions and support we can offer to businesses across different
sectors, to modernize IT operations and open up new avenues for
growth.”
