Case Study
The HLF wanted to move to online cloud based services to better the customer experience, however, the corporate legacy network could not provide the bandwidth, resilience or performance need to support this strategic move.
Freedom designed a two phase project, beginning with implementation of a cloud based MPLS solutions in the first instance and secondly augmenting remote site connectivity via ethernet and QoS enabled PADSL failover.
Better customer service, operational saving, increased performance and resilience across 11 sites, 5 fold increase in bandwidth, cash neutral migration and OpEx.
