Next Generation Network Architecture
Client: Large Canadian company
This 350-employee company was at the end of a contractual agreement for WAN services for its 40 corporate sites in Canada and the United States. The initial game plan was to solicit bids to select a vendor that could help them modernize their telecommunications infrastructure.
The ultimate goal was to establish a next generation network architecture to ensure effective communications and business development.
The majority of the client’s business relies on a stable communications infrastructure that ensures the high quality of service provided to customers. Cost reduction combined with a pre-determined architecture with the help of the ESI team contributed to the success of this major project.
