Tempur Sealy Plans and Builds IT for Global Growth and Expansion

In 2012, Lexington, Ky.-based Tempur-Pedic International merged with Trinity, N.C.-based Sealy to form the world's largest bedding provider. While this merger had many complexities to overcome domestically, it also brought with it an international component, as the companies had operations in 36 countries that needed to be brought into the fold as well. We spoke with Slavomir Tatarevic, senior manager of global networks and operations for Tempur Sealy, at CDW's Executive Summit in Chicago to get a better understanding of what it took to build a network infrastructure that works globally and hear how he leverages his international footprint for disaster recovery, backup and redundancy, and collaboration.
