Intellicom has deployed a four-site, managed fibre network for agriculture and industrial fertiliser business Grassland Agro.
The fibre network, which connects 45 users at Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Slane comprises high-speed, dedicated internet bandwidth and separate private network capacity to run SAP Business One.
Commenting on the project, Larry Fay, IT manager with Grassland Agro, said: “We’re in the middle of our busy season and the network has bedded in very well. The improved speed and response times has had a positive effect on productivity and users at regional centres can now work live on the system, negating the need to set up VPNs to access business applications.
“With the old network, printing dockets could take more than 30 seconds. In the busy season that’s a lifetime but it’s completely different now as our high speed connectivity is split between SAP and internet capacity with guaranteed bandwidth for our mission-critical computing tasks.”
Neil Wisdom, managing director with Intellicom, said: “The network architecture has been future-proofed and designed for full unified communications as and when Grassland decide to take their infrastructure to the next level. It’s VoIP and video ready and that means older PABXs or CCTV systems at regional sites can be easily retired and migrated to a cloud-based or on premise IP-based contact centre solution, and at a lower cost than traditional telephony.”
The contract includes three-years managed service, delivered from Intellicom’s network operations centres in Clonmel and Dublin.
