Case Study: Continental Structural Plastics achieves robust disaster recovery, lower costs, and regulatory (J-SOX/GDPR) compliance with US Signal

Continental Structural Plastics - Customer Case Study

Continental Structural Plastics, a global leader in lightweight composite technologies, faced mounting IT complexity after its acquisition by Teijin: a lean IT staff, disparate systems across new locations, strict J-SOX and GDPR requirements, and the need for always-on operations and reliable disaster recovery. To address these risks, Continental Structural Plastics engaged US Signal for services including Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), Backup as a Service (BaaS), enterprise and hosted private cloud, MPLS networking, colocation/DIA connectivity and technology assessments.

US Signal implemented MPLS and redundant colocation, SLA-backed DRaaS/BaaS, enterprise and hosted private cloud resources, and ongoing technology assessments, producing reduced capital expenses, improved security and redundancy, faster recovery times and support for J-SOX and GDPR compliance. By freeing up Continental Structural Plastics’ IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives and providing rapid, consistent support, US Signal delivered measurable reductions in downtime risk and a resilient, scalable infrastructure for current and future sites.
