Case Study: Banta Corporation achieves automated network discovery and daily IT time savings with Infoblox NetMRI

Banta Corporation - Customer Case Study

Banta Corporation, a 140‑year‑old leader in printing and supply‑chain services, needed to proactively manage a growing distributed network of roughly 75 routers, 125 switches, 20 firewalls, 50 access points and six IP telephony servers. As more business units asked the central IT team to manage their sites, manual device discovery and tracking was becoming unsustainable and would have required hiring additional staff or weeks of manual work.

Banta deployed NetMRI to automate discovery, configuration and long‑term trend analysis; the tool produced in minutes what previously took the team days and eliminated much unnecessary troubleshooting. NetMRI now saves the IT staff a couple hours daily, provides accurate network inventories before taking on new sites, and supports strategic initiatives like vendor consolidation and centralized procurement.
