Case Study: Ryohin Keikaku improves network security and cuts costs with GlobalDots and Cato SASE Cloud

Ryohin Keikaku cuts new store network costs by 40% with GlobalDots

Ryohin Keikaku, the company behind the MUJI brand, faced significant challenges in scaling its network security and infrastructure to support its rapid global expansion of 100 new stores annually. The company's IT infrastructure quality was undefined, and its security policies were not unified across its international operations, making consistent quality, cost, and delivery difficult to achieve. To address these issues, Ryohin Keikaku partnered with vendor GlobalDots to overhaul its service infrastructure.

GlobalDots implemented the Cato SASE Cloud solution, which integrated SD-WAN and security services into a single, cloud-native platform. This provided Ryohin Keikaku with improved scalability, comprehensive security monitoring, and simplified operations. The results were substantial: incident response times dropped from hours to minutes, initial network costs for new stores were reduced by 40%, and running costs were lowered by 25%, leading to projected savings of several billion yen in Japan alone. The successful partnership with GlobalDots enabled a transformed and future-proof IT infrastructure.
