The dichotomy of "doing more with less" has always put IT departments center stage. Based on a recent report by Forrester Research, Inc., "The State of WAN Services Adoption in North America 2009" states that about 67 percent of enterprises are migrating to MPLS to deliver more. As part of the strategic decision to drive long-term simplification of operational management, IT departments are increasingly looking to purchase managed services.
Gerald Ribeiro, Director, Information Technology of Crunch, LLC, concurs. "Unifying our voice and data communications is a key factor in our growth strategy for 2010 and IPNETZONE has a proven track record with MPLS implementations. We were able to significantly reduce costs while improving the quality of our network with the MPLS-based solutions."
"Based on the protocol neutrality, adaptability, metrics support and network scalability, MPLS has been a key piece of technology in our managed services portfolio," says Shin.
