Case Study: Fisher & Paykel achieves seamless global collaboration with AT&T Business FlexWare

Super-functional network devices ensure seamless collaboration around the world for Fisher & Paykel

Fisher & Paykel, a New Zealand-based designer and manufacturer of premium kitchen and laundry appliances, needed a reliable and cost-effective way to support collaboration across its distributed design centers and global manufacturing footprint. With teams and sites spread across five manufacturing countries and sales into more than 50 countries, the company looked to AT&T Business for a network solution that could adapt to varying site needs while helping control costs.

AT&T Business implemented AT&T FlexWare, built on the AT&T Integrated Cloud platform using SDN and NFV technologies, to simplify Fisher & Paykel’s network infrastructure. The solution lets each site use one FlexWare device with functions dialed up or down as needed, reducing hardware requirements, eliminating some third-party products, and potentially lowering capital and operating costs while future-proofing the network.
