Case Study: Lagan Construction Group achieves fast global SharePoint access and simplified remote site IT with Riverbed Steelhead appliances

Riverbed Steelhead appliances solve remote site IT problems for large construction firm across its global enterprise

Lagan Construction Group is an international construction firm that rapidly establishes remote sites around the world and must capture accurate, real-time project data for billing and project control. The company needed sites to be IT‑enabled and centrally managed with minimal local expertise, but Microsoft SharePoint and other applications performed poorly over its global WAN, risking data loss, delays and high support costs.

Lagan deployed Riverbed SteelHead appliances at headquarters and remote sites, which were quick to install and accelerated SharePoint and other applications over the WAN. This allowed centralized backups and consolidation of remote servers, simplified IT support, enabled VoIP by freeing bandwidth, improved cross‑site collaboration, and cut outsourced IT and international call costs.
