Case Study: Fortune 500 Hardware Manufacturer achieves 25%+ Network Cost Savings with Lightyear

A Fortune 500 hardware manufacturer leveraged Lightyear to achieve 25%+ network cost savings, 50%+ time savings, and network performance improvements

Lightyear worked with a Fortune 500 Hardware Manufacturer, a $10B company with 20,000+ employees and hundreds of mission-critical facilities worldwide. The customer needed a better way to manage network procurement because relying on only two aggregators limited network diversity, reduced ISP options, and led to higher-than-market circuit costs, while also consuming too much of their team’s bandwidth.

Using Lightyear’s platform for ISP procurement automation, the company streamlined RFP creation, quoting, and implementation management. Lightyear helped them achieve 25%+ network cost savings, 50%+ productivity improvement, and significant performance gains by expanding marketplace visibility, automating workflows, and optimizing bulk circuit procurement.
