("WIIT" or the "company"; ISIN IT0005440893; WIIT.MI), a leading European player in the Cloud Computing market of enterprises demanding uninterrupted Hybrid Cloud and Hosted Private Cloud services for critical applications, signed a five-year contract for a total value of approx. Euro 3.1 million, with F.lli De Cecco di Filippo S.p.A., a leading Italian Group in the Food sector at an international level. . .

De Cecco, after close assessment, has chosen WIIT as its partner for the next five years both for Cloud services and for the management of all environments, including those most critical.

All services, managed and governed centrally with active support 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, seek to ensure the usability and continuity of critical business processes, both in Italy and overseas.

The management model used is Hosted Private Cloud: the systems will reside at WIIT's Tier 4 Data Center and will be replicated in one of the secondary DCs, to ensure their resilience thanks to the integration of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery services. The contract, based on architectures that offer the Customer the scalability necessary to support future growth in a rapid and secure manner, reflects the growing need in the Food sector - as well as in other industries - for agile Cloud platforms that support the digital transformation processes of companies.

"We are delighted to embark on this crucial endeavour with a Group that represents Italian excellence in the world of pasta-making - a product that is a symbol of Italy. The choice of our solution and the related services, once again confirms the centrality of the Private Cloud as an enabler of the digital transformation on enterprises" stated Alessandro Cozzi, CEO of WIIT - "The agreement with such a prestigious Customer also clearly reflects WIIT's growing market share in the world of uninterrupted Hybrid and Hosted Private Cloud services and strengthens our presence in one of the stand-out sectors in Italy".

With this agreement we believe we have improved the the management progression of our systems, data security and the scalability and usability of our business model for the Group's companies and those that may join and integrate with the Group in the future."
