Optimise your WAN for enhanced IT efficiency
Wide area networks (WANs) help you readily adapt to today's changing business demands and efficiently share information throughout your organisation, often with offices dispersed across continents.
However, ensuring the ongoing optimisation of your WAN can be a struggle. WAN Management helps you more effectively optimise and monitor your WAN network to maximise the IT efficiency of your organisation.
Prioritise application use across your WAN
For maximum IT operational efficiency you need a full understanding of the scope and usage of your wide area network (WAN) resources. To meet changing business requirements and concerns you need to prioritise the use of IT applications within your WAN, such as voice, web conferencing and email. This enables you to rationalise your networks and applications, and better prepare your network to deploy new applications.
Optimising the performance of your IT applications helps you fully use your IT capacity to maximise your IT assets and productivity. Empowering you to make accurate time-sensitive decisions, WAN Management improves efficiency and reduces your operating costs.
Reduce complaints and improve response times
For the global textile dyes organisation Dystar, BT Global Services implemented a managed multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) global network, connecting 30 sites across four continents. Our MPLS solution replaced DyStar's Frame Relay infrastructure to improve performance, ease business expansion and reduce costs. This has diminished complaints to DyStar’s IT division, with users reporting significantly improved response times.
“The managed nature of the network means we have seen huge improvements in the ease with which we can implement change, which can be done without users being affected in any way. To add a new site or change a network segment, for example, we simply inform BT and they do the rest.”
