From Legacy to Lightspeed
This Global Fintech's Network Makeover is the Future of Finance
NTT helped to transform a multinational financial powerhouse’s cross-border network operations to enable seamless operations between China and the world.
When a leading global fintech company set its sights on expanding its R&D and marketing operations in China, it faced a formidable obstacle: a legacy network architecture ill-equipped for modern, cross-border business demands. Slow speeds, high costs, and the complexities threatened to derail their ambitions.
The company's reliance on Office 365 and other SaaS applications was critical. However, their existing network struggled to provide the consistent, high-performance connectivity needed to support their teams and deliver their financial services seamlessly.
Enter the SD-WAN Revolution
The company underwent a bold network transformation, replacing its outdated MPLS network with a managed SD-WAN solution. This move provided the agility, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness needed to fuel their growth in China.
Key benefits
Traffic optimisation and application acceleration
This ensured that critical applications like Office 365 performed flawlessly, even across the vast distances and complexities of the China-Global network.
Cloud security
A robust cloud security service protected all China branch locations, safeguarding sensitive financial data and ensuring compliance.
Proactive connectivity monitoring
24/7 network monitoring ensured potential issues were identified and resolved before impacting business operations.
Seamless network security architecture
Integrated with SD-WAN through automation, this provided comprehensive protection for all of China's infrastructure.
The Payoff: Speed, Savings, and Security
The results were remarkable. The company slashed its overall WAN spending by 50% while achieving a threefold increase in network throughput. Their China-based teams experienced a dramatic improvement in their ability to access the tools and services they needed, enabling them to deliver exceptional financial services to their customers.
