One of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products is currently centralizing its network infrastructure with a single supplier to support the efficient delivery and availability of key business applications, such as ERP.
The NSG Group is a global leader in the flat glass industry, employing around 32,500 people worldwide. The company supplies glazing to the construction, automotive and specialty glass sectors, with manufacturing operations in 29 countries on four continents, and sales in more than 130 countries.
The company wanted a partner that could develop a flexible, reliable, secure and scalable IP network infrastructure to maximize network performance and availability while reducing internal management requirements and achieving cost efficiencies.
The NSG Group has chosen Verizon Business to deploy and manage the company’s global communications infrastructure. A fully managed Verizon Private IP solution will provide secure, scalable and flexible connectivity for more than 430 NSG Group sites in Europe, India, Japan, and North and South America, helping the company to streamline its global business operations, while also realizing cost and management efficiencies.
Verizon Private IP will serve as the NSG Group’s core data communications network in 29 countries, with Verizon Secure Gateway providing cost-efficient DSL access and backup for sites in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the U.K. and the U.S. Verizon's IMPACT management platform will provide a unified view of global network activity, enabling the Verizon Business team to swiftly identify any potential issues for rapid resolution, and maximizing network availability.
Stephen Pownall, the NSG Group’s CIO, commented: “Global businesses such as ours need our network to work hard to support our overall business needs. Our business relies on the efficient sharing of information across our global supply chain, from our specialist manufacturing facilities to our global sales offices, to enable proactive customer service. We need to ensure our key applications are always available to our employees, wherever they are in the world.”
