The three-year agreement, worth over $2.3 million, will deliver comprehensive end-to-end connectivity, providing support for Lovells’ business critical applications and a platform to support future development of voice and video services.
The Vanco solution will deploy MPLS, DSL and IP-SEC services to 23 locations in 14 countries in Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region, including the USA, UK, Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, Russia, Czech Republic, Japan, China, Singapore and Hong Kong. The solution will provide a highly available service at an optimal cost. Vanco will also deploy its Active Back-up technology to increase performance and cost efficiency of the network for Lovells.
Ian McFiggins, Lovells’ IT Director, said, “We selected Vanco because throughout our selection process they have consistently demonstrated technical innovation and a real focus on customer service, something that we take very seriously. Vanco’s technical and carrier independence made a significant difference to the way they approached our requirement and I am confident will provide on-going benefits to Lovells.”
Andy Sumner, a Managing Director at Vanco, said, “I am delighted to welcome Lovells as a Vanco customer. Lovells joins an increasing number of professional services organizations selecting Vanco to deploy and manage their business critical global networks. As a result of our carrier independent position we have been able to design a solution for Lovells which dramatically increases the bandwidth to their locations but avoids any increase to their network costs.”
