The Testimonial

Do you want to hear the CIO’s view of how Etex, a global building materials specialist, benefits from GTT’s Managed SD-WAN as part of its future-proof global network? Watch the video to find out how the solution helps achieve Etex’s digital transformation goals through an increase in uptime and bandwidth with a lower total cost of ownership.

The Need

Etex is driving a digital transformation initiative to become a more customer-centric organization. Its goal is to harmonize and improve processes, activities, and collaboration across its business. As it moved to more application-aware networking and greater cloud adoption, bandwidth for many of the company’s locations needed to be increased in a secure and agile way, without increasing costs.

Together with GTT, we have built a strategy to transform and future-proof our global network. . .as well as delivering all the benefits of an agile and resilient managed SD-WAN solution.
