“By decreasing the complexity of our network and outsourcing its management, we have freed up our time to focus on the businesses and serving customers, working to increase in productivity and revenue,” Jean-Luc Sanchez said.

Real-time reporting

GTT configured the network underlay on a site-by-site basis, leveraging its established global relationships with 400 preferred local access providers to ensure the best option for each location and application. The managed SD-WAN solution integrates GTT’s global Tier 1 IP network, to ensure Loxam benefits from an end-to-end network solution built entirely to suit its needs. Real-time reporting through GTT’s customer web portal, EtherVision, provides the ability to monitor network performance, track real-time statistics and view order status and billing all in one place.
