Insulation solutions provider, Kingspan Insulation has faced significant challenges due to a complex network involving multiple vendors, causing inefficiencies in connectivity, compliance, and security. As the organisation shifts away from traditional MPLS networks and increasingly relies on SaaS and cloud services, a more resilient and agile connectivity solution has become paramount.
In a move to address these issues, the company has selected Expereo through a fully managed connectivity solution, centralising Kingspan's network operations under one contract. This will allow the company to have a unified view of all services while facilitating rapid scalability during acquisitions or operational changes.
Liam Waters, divisional IT operations manager at Kingspan Insulation, noted, the partnership with Expereo will enable it to "expand rapidly while maintaining the visibility and control that we require. Deploying global standards is critical, and with one vendor, one platform, and one set of processes, we can integrate new sites faster and keep pace with business demand.”
The expereoOne platform will provide Kingspan Insulation with comprehensive control over its network, enabling real-time performance insights and effective resource optimisation. Expereo's management encompasses various services, including SD-WAN, dedicated internet access, and broadband, with discussions ongoing regarding the future incorporation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity to facilitate urgent deployments.
With a lean technical team managing 90 facilities across 28 countries, standardisation is vital for Kingspan. The automation of processes simplifies onboarding for new sites and ensures seamless connectivity, effectively supporting the company's commitment to a unified global standard.
As Kingspan Insulation continues to innovate and adapt, this strategic partnership with Expereo positions the company well for future growth, enabling it to navigate the complexities of modern connectivity with confidence.
