Wealth Management Firm Stays Nimble During COVID-19

About the Organization
The Vision and Challenge
The firm had already implemented a digital transformation initiative that included SD-WAN and a unified communications solution for phones and chat functionality for their offices, but they needed a new VPN solution to complete the security and compliance requirements for a fully remote workforce. Since their technology ecosystem already leveraged Cisco, they wanted a solution that would allow for up to 1,500 Cisco AnyConnect connections.
The Outcome
We worked closely with the organization’s IT team to provision a new VPN with Cisco’s AnyConnect that not only connected employees to their IT systems remotely, but also emphasized the necessary security and compliance standards they needed. We also dialed up their Internet bandwidth to 500Mb in our datacenters to cater to the increased demand remote workers would bring. The result was a strengthened partnership and increased agility during the COVID-19 crisis.
“You guys are killing it…The work that was done to get us “Mobile ready” was nothing short of amazing.”
