Achieving Greater Efficiencies through Technology Upgrades

NTT worked with a global purchasing agent that had outsourced its legacy network to multiple carriers to:

• Upgrade its network technology services
• Streamline its IT Solution from multiple carriers to a single provider
• Reduce costs

NTT's proposed infrastructure build-out allowed for direct connectivity to the Microsoft Exchange Server, provided via NTT's Hosted Exchange service. Other critical factors that resulted in NTT's selection included NTT's multi-language capability, superior customer service, and a global presence in every region of the customer's business.

After conducting an assessment of the organization's existing technology systems and business needs, NTT partnered with its client to employ:

• A MPLS/IP-SEC Hybrid Network: Providing a dual access load balanced back-up solution to ensure on-going operations in the event of network interruptions and an increase in the quality of service across its global network
• Collocation Service: Streamlining internet access from a single destination, NTT's Data Center, for optimal DMZ configuration
• An Outsourced URL Filtering Solution: Providing an Internet monitoring solution for control of end-user web access at all locations on the Network

Based on the solutions employed, the client achieved:

• State-of-the art infrastructure
• An estimated 40 to 50% cost savings in operations and maintenance
• A dedicated account team to manage its network technology solutions
