Case Study: National Labor Organization achieves reliable, high-bandwidth ERP connectivity with Hughes Managed SD-WAN

National Labor Organization modernizes 376 sites with Hughes Managed SD-WAN

The customer, a large North American labor organization representing over a million members, faced significant network challenges. Its legacy MPLS system was unreliable, with severe bandwidth limitations and frequent outages that jeopardized its mission-critical financial operations and a new ERP system rollout. After receiving poor support from its incumbent provider, the organization selected Hughes Network Systems as its new managed services partner.

Hughes implemented a phased rollout of its Managed SD-WAN solution. This provided each local office with high-speed broadband options, built-in backup connectivity with automatic failover, and 24x7x365 support from multiple enterprise support centers. The Hughes solution ensured reliable, secure connectivity for the ERP system and was managed through the HughesON portal, giving the customer greater visibility and control while avoiding costly early termination penalties from the previous provider.
