Case Study: Largest Manufacturer of Building Products and Materials achieves 30% savings and improved network reliability with Windstream Enterprise

Largest Manufacturers of Building Products and Materials - Customer Case Study

Largest Manufacturers of Building Products and Materials operates 1,000+ locations across North America and had become highly decentralized through rapid acquisition, leaving it with inadequate bandwidth, little network redundancy and fragmented IT management. Windstream Enterprise was engaged—initially through Professional Services and later with SD‑WAN Concierge™, UCaaS and multiple access options—to diagnose and address the company’s unreliable local services and lack of standardization.

Windstream Enterprise inventoried dispersed assets, ran a six‑site SD‑WAN proof‑of‑concept, and then deployed SD‑WAN and cloud UCaaS to more than 1,000 U.S. and Canadian sites, consolidating voice platforms and providing the WE Connect portal for real‑time visibility. The integrated Windstream Enterprise solution delivered increased bandwidth and resiliency, better performance and reporting, centralized management under a single vendor and approximately 30% savings versus the prior network configuration.
