This case study discusses how Sprint, powered by Cisco Systems, provides a secure and reliable solution for Wide Area Networking for INC Direct Bank, which primarily does business over the Internet and remotely over the phone in a 24x7 mode. Any service outages severely affect ING Bank's business model, so their requirement was to find a highly responsive and trusted partner with a network that was IP based, isolated from the public Internet, and highly reliable but would provide business continuity in case of natural disasters or external events affecting the network. With Sprint, ING Bank found a consultant and partner with a private IP network that provides the high level of responsiveness, integrity, and security they required. Also Sprint provided value-added managed security services at affordable cost, which allowed them to keep their own operational costs low--and pass savings on to their customers.

For a company with the image and impeccable customer services of IBM, then, contact centre downtime is simply unthinkable. Supporting 600 agents, its Avaya Call Center in Madrid offered a continuous 24/7 customer service experience. The challenge was to move an Avaya Call Center to an alternative site 50km away from the original location without any service disruption. To ensure business continuity, IBM Spain hired the core elements of an Avaya DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server (ECS) - a Processor Port Network (PPN) and an Expansion Port Network (EPN). This equipment sat at its headquarters and kept the contact centre services going while, the Avaya team installed the original call centre at the new location. The move took just one month.

Coop, based in Basel, Switzerland, is rapidly advancing upon its competitors for the title of largest Swiss retailer. Mergers, acquisitions and rapid sales growth were generating ever-increasing levels of demand upon their current systems, and resulting in a larger, diversified and more unwieldy IT infrastructure. Key to the solutions that could give Coop the flexibility and scalability they needed was finding a software partner with deep expertise in the retail industry, in order to provide the best software for their needs. They selected SAP software because of SAP's long experience and proven success with retail businesses, and believed SAP R/3 had the critical functionality and versatility they needed to control the expansion of Coop and its partners.
