Health Insurance Provider Taps GDT for Managed Network Services, Boosting Productivity, Security, & Compliance
About the Customer
Customer Challenges
Our customer’s legacy network infrastructure had outgrown its useful life, lacking the security, reliability, stability, and flexibility needed to support its growing workforce and modern business needs. Challenges with intermittent access, bandwidth, and latency negatively impacted productivity. Limited WiFi access visibility and reporting capabilities had led to gaps in compliance. Furthermore, they increasingly needed consistent and secure remote access to critical business applications.
Our customer also wanted to lower energy usage by embracing reduced port density, smaller switch stacks, and power over ethernet (PoE). But they didn’t have the internal skillsets to operate the next-generation network architecture and needed a reliable managed network services provider like GDT to manage the new network.
