Baking a solution
The first step was an assessment. A proof of concept was formed and Cradlepoint routers were deployed to 29 store locations with activation through Insight. Routers were tested in those locations for six months before pushing the solution out to all 250 locations.
Insight ordered, set up and deployed the 5G routers to each location and tested the devices in labs to ensure they worked as soon as a customer entered the retail location. The client procured the necessary hardware and software from Insight for these updates.
Hot and ready results
Insight successfully distributed the 5G Cradlepoint routers across the 250 retail locations. The client now has a strategic IT partner to help them plan for future innovations and improvements. The client has one unified networking solution, making for simpler management — no more juggling multiple contracts with various broadband providers.
The client has been talking about expanding internationally. So the concern for the client isn’t having 250 locations — it’s knowing that their locations could expand to 450 in the near future. At that point, they need to be hands-off with their IT and able to outsource most of their IT footprint to free up their resources for business development.
