Case Study: Sika achieves seamless global network integration and acquisition onboarding with Open Systems

Sika integrates 25 companies over 5 years thanks to Open Systems’ SASE scalability and flexibility

Sika, a global specialty chemicals company with operations in 100 countries and more than 25,000 employees, needed secure networking for a rapidly growing organization, faster onboarding for newly acquired companies, and consistently reliable network performance. To meet these challenges, Sika worked with Open Systems and its Secure SD-WAN/SASE platform.

Open Systems replaced Sika’s legacy MPLS environment with a fully managed SASE solution, including Mission Control NOC support and integrated security services, to create a flexible global WAN. The result was smoother acquisition onboarding, better cross-company collaboration, and high service availability, helping Sika integrate more than 25 acquisitions in five years while supporting continued growth.
