Challenges Before Adoption
■ Background
B Tech was struggling with network fragmentation between its headquarters and three production plants.
• Each plant ran an independent network, delaying data synchronization between HQ and the plants
• Poor video conference quality disrupted remote meetings
• Slow VPN connections reduced the productivity of remote workers
• Different security policies at each plant made integrated monitoring impossible
• Responding to plant IT incidents took more than 2 hours on average

Results
■ Results
Quantitative results:
• 65% improvement in network latency
• HD video conference quality
• 70% shorter IT incident response time
• 3x faster VPN connections
Qualitative results:
• Real-time remote meetings
• Higher job satisfaction among remote workers
• Real-time sharing of production data between HQ and the plants
"Before, when a problem occurred at a plant, we had to wait until the local staff came in to work. Now we can monitor in real time from HQ and respond remotely, which makes our operations far more efficient."
