Case Study: Stephenson Harwood achieves reliable, low-latency global collaboration with NTT Communications

NTT Com Delivers Global Network for an International Law Firm

Stephenson Harwood, a full-service international law firm with over 120 partners and 700 staff, needed a fast, reliable and secure way to share documents and collaborate across its global offices. The firm required a single provider able to deliver low-latency, resilient connections across Europe and Asia and manage the entire network to minimise disruption from outages.

NTT Com deployed a fully managed, land-based MPLS (Arcstar Universal One) network from the UK to Asia via the Russian steppe, providing a single-owner, low-latency route, IP steering for optimal paths and scalable internal office networks for autonomy. The solution accelerated file access, improved collaboration across seven offices, increased visibility of team work and made video and conference calls simpler, enabling the firm to respond more quickly to client needs.
