A specialized medical waste logistics
company was looking to improve
operational efficiency and reduce
administrative overhead.
• The organization had been through 400+
acquisitions over the years and had more
than 200 network vendors
• Not able to ensure consistent security,
reliability, and speed at all locations
• Difficult for internal teams to manage
complex, international network
infrastructure
• It didn’t have in-house expertise to design
a solution to address the challenges

• Implementing a fully-managed SD-WAN
solution in 400 locations in US, Canada,
and Puerto Rico
• Deployed site surveys to assess the
requirements at each location to design
the solution
• Took on management of their existing
infrastructure which provided deeper insight
into the existing network
• Deployed MPLS, broadband, and SD-WAN to
improve network efficiency and security
• Delivered Managed Enterprise Services for
ongoing management of the network allowing
them to focus internal resources on other areas
of the business
