Case Study: Alpargatas achieves unified, reliable European communications with Colt VPN services

Alpargatas achieves 50%+ lower voice billing with Colt Technology Services

Alpargatas, a Brazilian footwear manufacturer known for its Havaianas flip-flops, faced a challenge supporting its rapid European expansion. Its IT infrastructure was unable to keep up with growth, leaving offices disconnected and operating independently. To unify communications between its Madrid headquarters and subsidiaries across Europe, Alpargatas needed a robust Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution and turned to Colt Technology Services.

Colt implemented its IP VPN service to create a secure, unified network connecting all of Alpargatas Europe's offices. The solution provided reliable, encrypted access for fixed offices and mobile employees. By also adopting Colt's SIP Trunking for voice, the company achieved an instant 50%+ drop in voice billing. The infrastructure provided by Colt became a critical foundation that facilitated further business growth and enabled reliable communications across the continent.
