Case Study: J. Smith Lanier & Co. achieves lower network costs, better security, and faster performance with EarthLink Business MPLS

J. Smith Lanier & Co. - Customer Case Study

J. Smith Lanier & Co., a regional insurance, employee benefits, and risk management firm with 20 offices, needed a more secure and higher-performing network than its existing frame relay setup could provide. The old network struggled to support demanding applications and slowed productivity, while also falling short of the company’s security requirements. EarthLink Business provided an MPLS-based private network to address these challenges.

With EarthLink Business, J. Smith Lanier & Co. moved critical traffic onto a secure MPLS network with better routing, traffic prioritization, and flexible access options by location. The result was improved application performance and productivity, $2,000 in monthly cost savings, and the ability to add a new office in less than 30 days. EarthLink Business also reduced IT burden by helping manage site setup and network decisions.
