Project Description

Global network consolidation and tranformation

The objective was to consolidate to a single vendor for all regions and to switch to a managed service for WAN and Security Services.  This included moving from typical local Internet providers, for about 80 offices, to Regional break outs and Security Services.  A second part of this project consisted in also migrating 100 customer connections to the same provider.
