InternatIonal branch connectUnified connectivity for branch offices
creatIng a unIform InternatIonal customer experIence
End-user experience nowadays is crucial for your organization, independent whether these are your own internal users or external customers. The arrival of mobile devices in the daily life of your employees and/or customers on the one hand, and the increasingly intelligent devices that communicate with one another (internet of things, M2M communication, etc.), instigates a movement that is described with the term digitization. This development is taking a rapid course and it is not yet foreseeable which consequences ultimately result from it. It is clear, however, that the digitization has a considerable influence on your network infrastructure, end-users want to be connected any time and any place.
Organizations with many international branch offices are often struggling with managing a wide range of access providers and network solutions. Managing these different solutions is resource intensive impacting Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and leads to weak and inconsistent end-to-end Service Level Agreements (SLA). Moreover, using different solutions in different countries has a negative impact on your customer experience.
Imagine you have a cost efficient, secure, stable and high performing network to connect all your international branch offices. Your WAN and LAN (including WLAN/Wi-Fi) is seamlessly managed and you don’t have to worry about the service quality, performance and scalability a split second? What would it mean if you would be able to free up budget and valuable resources to work on the innovation and digitization of your business instead?
T-Systems offers an international connectivity platform to connect all your branch offices / stores in a future proof and unified manner, with several optional add-ons resulting in a great end-user and customer experience. On top of that T-Systems has a great track record in implementing and managing branch networks and is unique in the way this is offered: seamlessly, managed end-to-end, on an international scale.
