105380

Sector:

Retail

Applied technology

The project did not focus on replacing one technology with another, but rather on redesigning the network model to adapt it to a cloud environment and business growth.

Strategic impact:

The network has ceased to be an operational bottleneck and has become an enabler of business growth.

Problem

High cost network and low scalability for the cloud

This company in the sector retail, with more than 40 national locations, The company was in a period of strong growth. But as the business advanced, its network infrastructure began to fall behind. The company needed a more agile, flexible connection method adapted to its reality, capable of responding to the daily use of its digital tools and the pace required by its expansion.

Solution

Direct performance improvement, operations and cost efficiency

The company operated with a traditional, inflexible, and expensive MPLS model, which hindered the rapid expansion of new branches. Its architecture was not optimized for intensive cloud application use, which caused performance degradation during periods of high demand. In addition, the lack of visibility, control, and difficulty in dynamically prioritizing traffic impacted operational efficiency.

Real risk identified: The network infrastructure was limiting business growth and in-store operations.

IPVIP Diagnosis A comprehensive analysis of the connectivity model and its impact on business operations was conducted

  • Network performance evaluation by site and by application type
  •  Analysis of user experience in critical applications (ERP, CRM, POS)
  •  Bottleneck identification during high demand periods.
  •  Review of the connectivity model versus actual business needs.

What was implanted?

  • Flexible and operator-agnostic network architecture: Eliminating Single Vendor Lock-in
  • Optimizing access to cloud applications (SaaS):Direct access to services such as M365, CRM, and ERP without inefficient routes.
  • Dynamic traffic prioritization by application type: Performance guarantee for critical systems (POS, ERP, CRM).
  • Resilient Connectivity Model with Multiple Accesses per Site Business continuity in the event of incidents.
  • Agile deployment capability for new locations: Ready to grow without dependence on long supply lead times.
  • Network performance visibility and centralized control Real-time monitoring and global management.

Results

Stable mission-critical applications even during peak demand

Resource optimization to maintain consistent performance.

Business continuity at each site through redundant access
