30.06.2015 South Korean giant becomes ATM S.A.'s latest foreign customer

APRO Financial Poland, which operates in Poland under the name RushCash, is part of the international APRO Service Group, the leader in the loans market in South Korea, also actively developing its services in China. ATM S.A. has become the first Polish telecommunications firm to supply APRO Financial Poland with colocation, Internet access and voice services.

APRO Financial Poland is the latest large foreign firm to join ATM S.A.'s portfolio, in another step in the implementation of the company's policy aimed at acquiring customers in both Eastern and Western markets. In Poland the Korean giant provides short-term and long-term non-bank lending services with a range of repayment periods.

"The start of cooperation with a new customer having such a high standing within its sector confirms our observations of growth in interest in colocation and Internet access services in Poland. Having won our first customers from the markets of Eastern and Western Europe, we anticipate that our relationship with APRO Financial Poland will be the first step towards establishing stronger cooperation with customers and partners in Asian markets. Regardless of the size of the enterprise, ATM S.A. offers comprehensive telecommunications support to foreign companies that are beginning or planning to launch operations in Poland," says Jacek Krupa, Vice-President of ATM S.A.

APRO Financial Poland has opted for colocation services at the Thinx Poland Data Center, a fiber-optic connection to its Warsaw office, and ISDN voice services, enabling completely transparent digital voice and data transmission. Thinx Poland, located in Warsaw, is Poland's largest carrier-neutral telecommunications data center and inter-operator hub together with a network of exchange points in 11 cities in Poland and five abroad (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Kiev, London and Moscow).

"As a representative of one of the largest Asian lending services groups, we sought a partner in Poland which would be able to provide us not only with telecommunications services, but also with full technological support. We chose ATM S.A. because it is the leader in the Polish data centers market, providing its services to customers representing virtually all market sectors. This large number of customers, and the fact that in most cases they have long-term relationships with ATM S.A., were key factors in our decision. In our sector, where rapid and stable contact with customers is an indispensable condition for success, those facts were decisive," said Park Bo Hwan, APRO's Business Development Director.

ATM S.A. is the WSE listed Polish data center market leader as well as an expert in security of data transmission and processing. Under the ATMAN and Thinx Poland brands the company provides colocation, hosting and cloud computing services in its data centers with 10,600 sq m (114,100 sq ft) of the total space. Using own international links and fiber-optic networks in the largest Polish cities, ATM offers broadband IP services, including Internet access and data transmission. Major recipients of the services are telecommunications operators, traditional media, Internet portals, financial institutions, commercial and industrial companies.www.atm.com.pl.
